Brief

Hark is pitching a combined AI-model and hardware stack rather than another chatbot. Brett Adcock says today's assistants fail on memory, multimodality, personalization, and computer use, and he claims existing phones and laptops are the wrong interface for AGI. After 8 months in stealth, Hark says it is building a sci-fi-style personal assistant that can listen, talk, perceive, and act more like an always-on "Jarvis."

.@adcock_brett says Hark is building new multimodal models and new hardware because LLMs today are "incredibly dumb."

"This should feel like Jarvis."

"They don't remember anything about me, it's not very personal, they can't listen or talk to me well, they can't see the world, they can't use computers."

"We're interacting with AI today through 20-year-old computers—my phone and laptop are all decades old. We feel very strongly that there's a next generation of AI devices that need to be built to interface with AGI appropriately."

"We think both need to be fixed to have a really killer superintelligent personal assistant."

Today I'm excited to introduce Hark, a new artificial intelligence lab building the most advanced, personal intelligence in the world

We've been in stealth for 8 months, assembling one of the greatest AI and hardware teams on the planet

I want to explain why I started Hark and what we're focused on

I've spent the last 3 years working on the hardest AI challenge imaginable: giving AI a humanoid body. On the digital side, I've been using all the existing LLM chatbots - and I have to say, they feel incredibly dumb to me

AGI, in the limit, should feel like a sci-fi movie. It should be able to listen and talk. It should have persistent memory and be highly personalized. It should see and touch the world. But we're far from this today

We are crafting a new interface to AGI. Intelligence that lets you offload your mental workload into a system that begins to think like you and sometimes ahead of you

We started Hark with one goal: build the world's most advanced personal intelligence - paired with next-generation hardware designed to serve as a universal interface between humans and machines
