0:00A brand new, very impressive AI agent just dropped, and I think your mind's about to be blown by this one. It's called Hark. It's amazing. It does some incredible things I've never seen any other AI agent do. I'm going to show you all these crazy things that it can do that I haven't seen any other AI agent do. I was very lucky. They reached out to me. They asked to partner up and they gave me world exclusive first access to this agent, which I'm going to take you through everything. Like 99% of the
0:26world has not seen any of this ever. Despite the fact they partnered up and gave me access, I have complete editorial control. They can't change anything I say. I'm going to go through the good, the bad, the ugly, and I'm going to help you decide if this is the right AI agent for you. This one is going to be a banger. So, let's lock in and get into it. So, this is the HARK
0:46agent. You can access it at hark.com. There's a lot going on here. This doesn't look anything like any other AI agent you've seen, but here's what you need to know. There are three things that I think makes this really special and different from other AI agents out there. I'm going to go through them all. Number one is the interface. This is a completely custom interface. It's completely yours. You could do anything you want with it. I'll show you how to customize all the different things you It's really, really impressive. Number two is the custom LLM powering it. They have a bunch of different models doing a
1:18bunch of different things, but one of the main models they're using is their custom LLM, Hark Handoff, which specializes in browser use. So, it is really, really good at doing things for you on the internet. I'm going to show you some of the really cool things it's done for me. And then three is the speed. It's just really fast. That's probably because of the custom LLM, but is really fast and it is also very proactive. Let's go through all those things one by one, though. So, let's start off with the interface, which is like completely customizable and really cool. Over on the lefth hand side, you
1:47see a bunch of different things going on. Everything here is custom. The first things you see in the top left are going to be recommendations for the things the agent wants to do for you based on everything it knows about you. Now, check this out. This use case is pretty amazing. Uh, a couple of days ago was my sister and mother's birthday. So, it had a little widget here. Hey, it's your sister and mom's birthday. Can we buy them a gift? I went, uh, okay. So, I clicked it. A minute later, it had a two
2:15gift cards to Anthropology all lined up. So, it saw that they're into anthropology because of past email conversations I had with them. It saw their addresses. It saw their emails from their last conversations. It wrote a note. It put both the gift cards in a basket. And then there was one button here that said, "Hey, are you ready to purchase it?" I click a button and within like 2 minutes, the entire birthday for my sister and mom were completely taken care of. I hit the order button. Boom. Your mom and Erica both got their cards by email. Say, "You're good to go." Amazing. But going back to interface, I got a little
2:48distracted there. Top left of your interface, and this is all custom again, is recommendations for different things it can do for you based on what it knows about you. I just got asked to Matt Van Horn's podcast. So, they want to schedule time with me. So, I can click a button, it schedules the time. It sees there's an issue with one of my web apps. One of the uh GitHub actions we have is failing. So, I can click that to get that fixed. It's saw I'm into fantasy football. So, it's looking at my fantasy like this is this might be the use case that impresses me the most out
3:16of all of them. Uh, it sees that waivers are coming up in two days and it's recommending I place a waiver claim for Will Shipley because I have Saquon Barkley on my team and he just got injured. So, it's recommending I place a $14 waiver claim uh for his backup Will Shipley. That's actually pretty amazing. Under those recommendations, uh we have a bunch of widgets here. These are all again completely custom. So you can see it has my ex followers, YouTube subscribers. It has a starting running backs injury report. So it shows me all the starting running backs the NFL are hurt. So I can pay attention on who to
3:52pick up. It has news on all the players on my team. So if I expand this, you can see uh my fantasy team. Uh don't get too angry at me if you see bad players here. It has all the latest news and product releases from all the different AI labs. Has my calendar. Shows all the latest tweets from the different AI labs. I can scroll through them here. Then it has my emails. All of this was made basically by me. All you need to do to customize your widgets on the left hand side here is prompt your agent. So if I for instance wanted to track the price of
4:23Micron. I own a bunch of shares in Micron. I can say make me a widget that tracks the price of Micron MU. And I hit enter. And now it's going to start getting work. So it says crafting your widget on it. Your Micron panel. So they're called panels is building and will show up in your home shortly. If I scroll here, you can see a panel just popped up amongst my other panels that is being built. And in a second, I'm going to have a fully built out new personalized widget here. This is really cool because the interface of basically every AI agent we've ever used is
4:59exactly the same, right? It's a lefth hand side with a bunch of conversations and threads and then you have your chat in the middle. Every single one looks exactly the same, but this is different. This is like almost like an operating system for agents. But this is different, right? I I one of the be one of the beautiful parts about AI agents and boom, there you can see the panel right there. One of the beautiful parts about AI agents for me is I get to do way less of things I don't like and way more of things I do like, right? I don't like email. I don't like doom scrolling
5:32on social media. I don't like things like that. And while agents have helped take those things I don't like out of my life, I still need to go to those things to get information. Now, with this kind of custom area over here, you see on the left, I can just get all my information right where my agent is. I can see all the stock prices. I can see how my other social media is doing. I can get all the news on the things I care about. I no longer have to scroll or doom scroll do other things. All the information I need is in one single place. Which for me, I
6:02actually find like I use the internet less now. I'm like scrolling on my phone less. I'm scrolling on this computer less. I could get more work done because everything I need is all in one place for me. And I know it sounds like I'm gushing. I am. This is like a really cool feature. We'll go through some of the weaknesses later. There are a few different weaknesses we'll go over, but this is an amazing one. I really like this kind of custom interface. If you've watched my past videos too, you know that I uh really think that the future of computing is this like highly customizable experience where the
6:34operating system and the computer around you morphs and changes based on who you are. It's why I've talked about Omachi a ton in the past, right? Because it's a fully custom AI operating system. This is very much in the same vein where everything around you morphs and changes based on who you are. when you use other agents and you, you know, you kind of have the codeex tabs or all everything looks exactly the same. It's not morphing around you. This is really the only agent that kind of morphs around and gives you exactly what you need based on who you are. The second thing I'm impressed with is the custom LLM
7:06behind it. So, it's called Hark Handoff. It's built for browser use. So, it's built for navigating uh the internet really, really quickly. And based on my experience, it's pretty incredible at it. So, I'll show you an example how fast this moves. So, go in. and you go to target.com and add a Nintendo Switch to an Madden 27 to my cart, please. I'm going to hit enter on that. And what it's going to do in a second is it's going to pop open its browser and it's going to use its model to actually go in and add those things to my cart so I can purchase it really quickly. And as you
7:42can see, boom, pops up. This is the kind of in agent browser you see here. On it, I'm adding the standalone switch too. As you see, immediately it's on the target website here. Let's make this bit bigger. I'll go here. Boom. Okay, now it's on my screen. All right, now it's moving the mouse around. As you can see,
7:56it typed Nintendo Switch 2 very fast. Okay, it's switching it to shipping. And now I assume it's just going to quickly add it to its cart. If I click on plan here, you can see exactly what it's thinking about the the kind of plan is as switches things up here. You can see before it makes any moves, it plans out exactly what it's going to do, which I assume is why it can move so fast. And boom, it added it to the cart. And now
8:16we go. It's going back to the search. You can see it's probably going to search here. Madden NFL 27. Uh, types spectacularly fast. It's searching for it. Let's see if it can find the Nintendo Switch version. It's looking at compatibility. Okay, so it knows exactly where to go now. I assume it is going to filter for Nintendo Switch 2. It knew exactly where to go. Now it's okay. Now it's selected Nintendo Switch 2 and it's going to apply it. And you can kind of see uh how it moves here, how it comes up with plans. It moves a lot different than other AI agents I've seen when it
8:47comes to browser use, which is really impressive here. So, the browser use really, really impressive. I've been feeding it more and more of kind of my standard things I do in a browser, buying things, adding things to cart. There you can see the task just got done. Scheduling Ubers, moving around my calendar, respond emails does it really
9:06well. And it can all be scheduled, too. So, like if I have a friend's birthday coming up next Friday and I want to make sure I get something for them, I could say, "Hey, next Friday, make sure to buy this gift card. Send it to my friend and that exact date and it'll schedule a purchase out, which is sick." Or if you want to do like your groceries, hey, buy me these groceries every single week and send them to my house, you can do that as well. It's also super proactive. I'm
9:26constantly getting pings from it. There's a mobile app as well. There's like an iOS app. I'm constantly getting pings of like, "Hey, I've been watching that GitHub action. It failed. Do you want me to run a test and figure out what happened? Hey, I noticed your waiverss are every Wednesday. Do you want me to run a report every Monday so you can figure out who to pick up on your fantasy team? It even proactively uh wrote me a report on my fantasy. I know I'm using fantasy a lot. Sorry, it's the middle of the season. It's a It's very important for me, but it even wrote me a proactive summary of how my
9:56team did this week. I did not ask for this. I mean, you can even see a lot of the proactive questions they asked me few days ago. Any plans for Saturday night? Give me a vibe and a time. I'll find a great dinner table nearby. Ask me about my sister's upcoming birthday, the event coming up. Ask if I want to start a new project. I'll show you projects in a second. It's just like constantly finding new things to do, which I think is like the biggest issue with a lot of AI agents right now, which is like you sign up for it, then you don't really
10:22know what to do with it and nothing gets done. This makes sure you get things done with it because it's constantly giving you recommendations and things to do. You also have projects. So, you can come in here and you can create new project. These are kind of like spaces for specific things you're working on. I'm working on a video game. It's helping me build the video game. So, it actually codes really well. So, this is like a what I call a god thread AI agent, right? Where it's like a single thread AI agent. It's not like 20 different threads that the manage that confuses you. It is single thread, but
10:54they give you projects so you can split out different things you're talking about. Right? So, if I want to come in here and I wanted to make a this is going to be my YouTube project, help me scout trending AI topics I can create content on, and I hit enter. Now, I have my YouTube AI content topics project, right? This is where I'd come specifically for this project. So, while it's a great kind of god thread day-to-day AI agent, you can also split it out and have, you know, other specific areas of topics you can talk, keep it all in one place as well. So, projects are really helpful, too. Here's
11:33another amazing one. It proactively reached out to me, said, "Hey, you have about a 100,000 unread promos sitting in your Gmail. Uh, want me to clear them out and stop new ones?" I said, "Yeah, stop all the promos. Unsubscribe from all them. Let me know if you have any feedback you need from me." On it. I'm on it. and then uh a few minutes later unsubscribed from 179 senders and boom, just like that, my entire inbox was cleaned up. It's pretty amazing. And it did it like incredibly fast, too. I think it for sure the strength for me is
12:02is the proactiveness across all of this. It's just like constantly getting things done I didn't even think it could do. Now, there's a lot of really cool things here for sure, but there are a few weaknesses as well. Number one is there's no computer use at the moment. Everything is browser use. So everything it does is in its own browser. A use case for me I find really important with AI agents is is the ability for me to be able to text it no matter where I am in the world and say, "Hey, move this around on my computer. Load up a local model on this computer. Go on my Mac
12:30Mini and change this around." Can't do it right now. Everything is in the browser. Everything is in the cloud computer. Talk to the team. It's coming soon. It's on the road map. Uh but right now it can't do those kind of local on your device use cases. One weakness with its cloud computer is you can't take over at the moment what it's clicking on what it's doing. So to have it change what it's doing in the computer browser, you kind of have to type it out. Say, "Hey, instead of doing that, can you do this?" Instead, hey, instead of typing that in, can you type this? It works. So
12:59you can type it and it'll do it what it said what you say in the computer, but you can't take over the computer at the moment. So I'd like to see I'm sure that's going to come very soon. That's one minor weakness with the computer use at the moment. I also wish the model was a little bit better at coding. It's not
13:16frontier when it comes to coding. Although like this isn't meant to be like your frontier coding agent, right? This isn't this is meant to be your personal assistant. It's meant to make it so you're not on your phone and your computer quite as much. But as someone who is a big time nerd, I'd love to be able to give it like a coding project and get amazing results from it. I don't think this is your daily driver coding agent. I think this is more your personal assistant. Get personal tasks done and then maybe message a coding agent. Projects are cool. I like that you have your own space for specific
13:49topics. I wish, you know, I could click and drag documents to it, give it more context, control the context of each project. Right now, it's a little light, but I mean, it's literally day one for the agent as well. And while they do have native mobile apps, there's no native like desktop app. At least at the time of filming, there's no native desktop app. That might change. probably will change very soon, but at the moment they don't have that either. It's mostly cloud-based or if you're on your phone, the mobile app. But overall, it's really, really cool. And I do think it's differentiated enough to be something
14:20you should be using. This custom UI where you add whatever information you need, customize it any way you want and everything you need to get work done all in one place rather than kind of your barebones normal AI agent interface with all the threads. I really, really like this and the proactivity is amazing. The fact that it can think of what you need to get done before you can even think of it is like supremely helpful. I don't know if I get my sister and my mom that
14:46gift on time. Uh if it wasn't for Hark. Don't I hope they're not watching this video right now. But like that proactivity saved me. I'll put a link for it down below. They are just starting to roll it out. I think it is worth at least giving it a try. Again, thanks to HARK for reaching out to Partner Up, giving me access. Again, they had no control over anything I said in this video. I just wanted to give you a sneak peek into what's going on with it. Really impressive stuff.
