So today, we're going to be testing out hark.com, and this is a new AI agent. I've just signed up for free, and you see an example of how it works right here. So it's really clean once you log in. And if you're wondering, okay, what is this? How does it work, et cetera? So it's basically like an AI agent that you can use for projects, for chat as well. And basically, it's described as an operating system for your life. Now, I literally just dropped today, so it's a brand new update, and you can also get it on iOS and Android, so you can get it on the app too. And then once you signed in, it's going to look like this. So you can connect your email, actually recommends that. And then you've got, for example, your details here of like where you are, whatever. You can also create new panels over here. So you can, for example, like track your workouts, whatever. And one thing I do like about is super smooth and easy to use. So let's connect our email now, and we're signed in like so.
And then it says, Hi, Julian, what's one thing on your plate this week I could take off? You know, for example, like booking a trip, a dinner reservation or an appointment. So I'm going to say, okay, can you book in a Italian restaurant for Wednesday next week? Let's just see if we can actually do that. And so, right, Italian Wednesday. How many people? I'm going to say 6 p.m. Two people.
Totally misspelled people, but that's the world that we live in now. You can get away with that.
Now, I'm on the free version. There is a pro version as well, just so you know. And you can also connect a lot more apps to this. So it's not just for Gmail. You can see, for example, you can connect like Slack, GitHub, LinkedIn, Notion, even Amazon, which is pretty crazy. All these different options, as you can see.
PayPal as well. It's pretty wild. And then you can add your wallet too, and you can schedule in tasks. It kind of feels like a very simple, easy to use version of something like OpenClaw, straight out of the box. I would actually say the onboarding for this was even easier than something like Grok. And you can see now that it's booking in the restaurant for us, which is pretty insane. I'm actually going to say stop. I actually started booking one of my favorite restaurants, this one, which is actually amazing. So fair play. And the other thing I like about this is the computer screen here is super clean. It kind of feels like the Apple of AI agents.
It's kind of what Apple should have released. So from here, you can click Create a New Panel, and then you just type in what you want your panel to be. So let's say, for example, track my productivity. And I think what you can do here is basically create your own custom panel for anything you have the idea on. So if you wanted to create like a custom panel for fitness, or workouts, or calorie tracking, or productivity, you could go from here. Now, you can see here, it says, okay, which kind of productivity, your weekend's meeting hours versus free focus time, or tasks you need to finish from your to-do list. So you can connect like apps, for example, like ClickUp or Asana, and then track your productivity that way, which would be pretty fun. And then let's have a look at the project section here. So this is designed for long horizon thinking, basically like longer tasks. They go way out the side the scope of a normal chat. So these are dedicated chats, the store files for you in their own threads. If you're planning a big event or, for example, tracking a single topic of work, projects are a good spot. And then you can see some examples of how it works right here. And there's also home. So this is where you can add your spaces in your panels, you can add action buttons, you can even like pay your bills and stuff like that as well. And then the panels are designed to be like mini apps. So if we have a look, for example, here, you can see it's got calendar events, Shopify packages this week, new podcast episodes that can feed in from Apple Music, for example, that I'm sure you can link to as an app.
One thing that I've noticed as well is that it proactively starts reading through your emails and then giving you action items and things to do, and you can just say yes or no to those and go from there. And if you're wondering what the Pro package gets you, so that's two times more usage, or you can actually get the Hark Pro 3 package, which gets you 10x more.
