Figure founder Brett Adcock launched Hark, pitching it as the best experience he's had and one that will improve with future AI hardware. The launch uses a hard-capped offer: the first 100,000 sign-ups get the paid plan free, turning the announcement into a race for demand.
On benchmarks, Hark Handoff scores 97.7 on Online-Mind2Web, a web-agent benchmark, ahead of GPT 5.4 (92.8) and Claude Opus 4.8 (84.1). The company has raised $700M at a $6B valuation. The quote-tweet also distills the playbook: an offer without a cap or deadline is just a pricing page.
