A personal finance intelligence layer for Hark

Bringing money into personal intelligence.

My cofounder and I have spent 5+ years building Shepherd Money: an AI-native personal finance app that turns messy financial data into proactive guidance.

We would be open to bringing the product and founding team into Hark.

Why now

OpenAI just validated personal finance AI.

Connected money data is becoming context for AI assistants. The next step is not another dashboard. It is reasoning across real accounts, goals, tradeoffs, and decisions.

OpenAI announced connected personal finance for U.S. Pro users on May 15, 2026.

Why Hark

Shepherd can be Hark's finance layer.

Financial life is private, continuous, and high-context. It is exactly where proactive personal intelligence should feel useful.

The value is simple: answer money questions before major life decisions.
