Peter Diamandis introduces Brett Adcock's Hark and its Handoff product — a web-browsing AI agent that operates real websites autonomously, handling tasks from ordering flowers to end-to-end recruiting. A demo video shows Handoff navigating e-commerce sites, planning travel, and booking restaurants. The benchmark claim: beating GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.8 on the OM2W browser task benchmark [1] — Dave Blundin "Hark launched at $4B valuation pre-revenue: Brett Adcock's AI web-browsing agent company Hark launched at a $4 billion valuation before gen…" 1:26:50 . Dave Blundin gives context: Hark launched at a $4 billion valuation before revenue, reflecting the extraordinary AI startup environment. Alex Wissner-Gross then drops his most provocative hot take of the episode: he believes Hark is misdirection — not primarily a CUA agent play, but a financial engineering vehicle to recapitalize Brett's diluted equity position in Figure AI, exactly as Elon Musk used xAI to re-equitize himself in SpaceX. His falsifiable prediction: Figure will acquire or reverse-acquihire Hark. Dave and Emad push back, arguing the model architecture overlap between Hark and Figure makes a natural merger sensible on pure technical and strategic grounds.
Alex Wissner-Gross argues that Hark's web browsing AI agent is misdirection — the real play is using Hark as a clean-cap-table entity to recapitalize Brett Adcock's equity position in Figure AI, following the same playbook Elon Musk used with xAI and SpaceX.

Bhanu grew SiteGPT to $13,000 monthly recurring revenue entirely through organic channels, spending nothing on paid marketing.
More than 1 million people have visited SiteGPT's website since launch in March 2023, all through organic channels.
Approximately 90% of SiteGPT's Google search traffic comes from the free tools Bhanu built, not the main product pages.
Bhanu sold his first SaaS product, Feather, for $250,000 so he could focus fully on the faster-growing SiteGPT.
SiteGPT has generated approximately $500,000 in total revenue since its launch in March 2023.
The average customer lifetime value for SiteGPT is approximately $1,700 to $1,800, which Bhanu considers unusually high.
SiteGPT receives around 50,000 visitors per month, of which about 200 convert to leads and 60 start free trials.
SiteGPT hit $10,000 MRR within its very first month of launch, driven largely by early traction in the AI chatbot space.
Despite strong download numbers, PropGPT could not push past $1,000–$2,000 MRR due to poor product retention.
