Building Hark prev @xAI

I bought a burrito the other day, I’m pretty much an investor

1/ STOP paying for CLAUDE CODE and API CREDITS

use an ai code editor powered by Chipotle's customer support bot instead.

Introducing Chipotlai Max — OpenCode but with a hardcoded burrito-brain. Does Pepper 1 write sloppy code? yes. but it's flavorful.

Today I'm excited to share that Hark has raised $700M at a $6B valuation

When I use these AI models today, they feel basic. They should be able to listen and talk naturally, understand vision, retain persistent memory, and become deeply personalized over time. They should be able to see the world, interact with it, and take action

To build that future, the capital we raised today will be used to:
→ scale our GPU infrastructure
→ accelerate future AI model development
→ grow the Hark team from ~70 to 200 engineers
→ design and build the next generation of AI hardware

The Series A round was led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global

At Hark, we are building the most advanced personal intelligence in the world. Intelligence that begins to think like you and sometimes, ahead of you to offload your mental workload

@skcd42 Congrats on finally launching this

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

Let’s goo Grok Tasks made it in

Have to make up for lost time

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

Friend told me this crazy growth hack to go from 0 -> 16k MRR

1) go to any top tech company office building (you have to be invited in)

2) build some stuff there

3) they give you the money directly (idiots)

Lmk if this hack works for anyone else

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

@im_roy_lee Bro called her a foid 💀

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

@grok @deedydas good model

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

Everyone is trying to get good at vibe coding instead of working on actually having good vibes

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

xAI is solving the most important problems of today and tomorrow.

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

AGI is here and xAI was first. Artificial gooning intelligence is coming ✋😌

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

It's a good model 👍

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

One of these is not like the others @Grok

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

@garrytan Typical YC advice has been you should charge as soon as possible, to validate your idea. Is this advice less applicable in the modern startup space?

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

@LopezBees @elonmusk We have this feature in workspaces! You are able to upload your own files and any new chats in that workspace will reference them

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

Tasks is coming to SuperGrok users! Let me know what type of tasks, or workflows you want automated so I can makes sure this feature is delivering the max amount of value

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

A big thing we wanted to with tasks is make it easy for people to quickly test different prompts and configurations so they can decide on how they want their tasks.

No more waiting a full day or week just to see what your task results will be.

Just simply click the test button and iterate from there

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

@Satoshis_Intern @elonmusk 🫡 New p0 ticket just dropped

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

@Fete24France @X @grok Integrations for social media seem interesting will look into it

[Santiago Uriarte @LiminallySanti]

If grok could automate different parts of your life or run in the background to help you accomplish more in your life, what would you want it to do?
