The AI‑hardware startup launched the free Hark Pro application, featuring a proactive AI agent that can manage tasks such as shopping and calendar scheduling as it prepares for a hardware release slated for 2027.

Hark, the AI‑hardware startup known for its ambitious roadmap, has unveiled a free mobile offering called Hark Pro, a proactive AI assistant that can handle everyday tasks like shopping and calendar scheduling while the company gears up for its first hardware launch in 2027.

What Hark Pro Does

The app positions its AI agent as a personal concierge that anticipates user needs, automatically adding items to grocery lists, placing orders with partnered retailers, and finding optimal time slots for meetings based on calendar availability.

Unlike typical voice assistants that react to commands, Hark Pro continuously monitors user patterns and suggests actions before they are requested, aiming to reduce friction in daily planning.

Key Features

  • Proactive shopping: AI curates grocery lists and can submit orders to supported stores.
  • Smart scheduling: integrates with Google Calendar and Outlook to propose meeting times.
  • Contextual reminders: alerts for upcoming deadlines based on email and task history.
  • Privacy‑first design: all processing runs on‑device unless user opts into cloud assistance.

Why Launch Now?

By releasing Hark Pro ahead of its hardware debut, the company hopes to build a user base that will transition seamlessly to its upcoming wearable and home‑assistant devices, which are slated for a 2027 rollout.

CEO Maya Patel said the app serves as a "living demo" of the AI capabilities that will later be embedded in Hark's physical products, giving early adopters a taste of the ecosystem.

We want people to experience the future of AI‑driven assistance today, so that when our hardware arrives, it feels like a natural extension of their workflow.

The free download is available on iOS and Android, with optional premium modules planned for later in 2026 that will unlock deeper integrations and advanced predictive analytics.
