Hark profile

written 2026-10-24

Hark, founded by Figure AI's Brett Adcock, raised a $700M Series A at a $6B valuation in May 2026 and launched its Hark Pro assistant in October.

What Hark does

Hark is an AI lab building models and hardware for a personal AI assistant. Its stated aim is a universal interface to the digital world, not general intelligence: TechCrunch reports the company sees its mission as building a user interface for AI.[1],[2]

Its first product, Hark Pro, launched in October 2026. It is built on a model trained specifically for computer use, which means it operates websites on the user's behalf. It runs on the web and as iOS and Android apps. A cloud agent called Handoff remembers instructions and can drive up to six browsers at once, according to the company. Card details and passwords sit in an encrypted vault that Hark says it cannot see inside. Users can access the service free, with a subscription tier for heavy users.[2],[3]

Hark has said it will release an AI-native device in 2027. Design chief Abidur Chowdhury has said the devices should be portable and useful at home and at work, and that the company does not believe in glasses with cameras or a wearable pin. AT&T is supplying the cellular service.[2],[3]

History

Brett Adcock, who also founded the robotics company Figure AI and the electric aircraft maker Archer, launched Hark in late 2025 with $100 million of his own money. The company raised its Series A in May 2026, after leaving stealth.[1],[3]

In August 2026, Hark announced a multi-year strategic partnership with Nvidia covering personalized agentic AI, including a technical collaboration and gigawatt-scale compute capacity on the Nvidia Vera Rubin platform. The announcement was datelined San Jose, California, which is the only location we found for the company.[4]

Funding

Hark announced a $700 million Series A on May 21, 2026, at a $6 billion post-money valuation. Parkway Venture Capital led. Participants were Nvidia, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and Tamarack Global. TechCrunch said the proceeds would go to recruiting for hardware, product design and AI research, and to securing compute and components.[1],[3]

The $100 million Adcock put in at the start was the founder's own capital, not an outside round. No total-funding figure or revenue has been disclosed.[1]

People

Adcock is founder and CEO. Abidur Chowdhury, a former Apple product executive, is director of design; The Next Web describes him as a former Apple lead on the iPhone Air.[1],[3],[4]
