fyi, this call lasted 3 minutes and cost .71 cents.

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

just had Hark call a hotel and switch the name on the reservation for me.

listening to the recording, it's damn scary how good it is.

no more half-duplex sounding.

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

tbc, i had to setup outbound calling, I asked hark to connect to call4me and it did autonomously.

i imagine all these ai bots will have dialing bundled natively in the next 3-6 months.

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@frydwia @elonmusk @spacexai Agreed!

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@RADuey Haven’t tried that one yet

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

Hark > Grokbot > Muse > Instinct

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@ninan99 Slower and a ui that’s great for a casual user (ie my mom).

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@adam_ferg6 exactly. I havent hit a task yet that it failed.

I was hitting a bunch with the others.

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@abdolamunir Faster, and more capable than the rest as far as my testing so far.

Idk what model they are using behind the scenes, but I dig it.

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@glenwomble Personal. I use viktor for work.

Although I recently connected Hark to Viktor via MCP and they are now tag teaming a few things (like PDF deck creation, and FP&A work).

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@AKASpencerScott which part surprises you?

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@JamesonCamp @Tabdotbot @bot havent heard of tab bot yet

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@gregmberry @JamesonCamp Where did it fail for you?

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@pablomartell @adcock_brett lol, its pretty sweet

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

inbox 0 has eluded me for years, I always came close but never quite got there.

Muse, Grokbot helped a bunch, but I spent more time writing rules for them then just managing the emails myself.

Hark is going a lil further, and its a beautiful sight for me.

@adcock_brett what u got cooking next?

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@TheElliottSmith @adcock_brett im still in strict observation and trust but verify mode

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

@KevinSimo123 Ah Ill take a look.

The first thing it reminded me of was this movie (ffwding through life to get somewhere better and missing life itself)

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

a hampton member shared this with me yesterday and I cant stop thinking about it.

so jarring.

"The scenes of our life are like pictures in rough mosaic, which have no effect at close quarters, but must be looked at from a distance in order to discern their beauty. So that to obtain something we have desired is to find out that it is worthless; we are always living in expectation of better things, while, at the same time, we often repent and long for things that belong to the past. We accept the present as something that is only temporary, and regard it only as a means to accomplish our aim. So that most people will find if they look
back when their life is at an end, that they have lived their lifelong ad interim, and they will be surprised to find that something they allowed to pass by unnoticed and unenjoyed was just their life, that is to say, it was the very thing in the expectation of which they lived. And so it may be said of man in general that, befooled by hope, he dances into the arms of death." -Schopenhauer

@VijarKohli Cool, figured, but always open to learning something new!

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

FP&A work for Hampton has always been too complicated for ai. Claude, Muse, GPT, Grokbot, even Viktor (all using frontier). They all spend tons of tokens and produce unreliable results.

Ive been testing Hark for personal, and just recently connected it to Viktor to pull Hampton data too.

Ran the same heavy modeling through it and hot damn, hark nailed it. WAY faster, less errors, and barely any token consumption somehow.

So now I have Hark and Viktor working hand in hand (via MCP) and it's pretty magical.

kick ass @adcock_brett
