Hark is a New York-based startup that reimagines Voice of Customer (VoC) programs for ecommerce by integrating video, audio, and multimodal feedback into customer communications. Its AI-native platform lets customers respond via video, voice notes, screen recordings, or text from a web browser, then uses AI to transcribe, structure, analyze sentiment, and surface themes. Hark connects qualitative customer feedback to performance metrics, helping growth, retention, CX, support, marketing, and product teams understand the 'why' behind customer behavior, prevent churn, and act faster. The platform includes an integrated conversational AI analyst (Emmy) and integrates with helpdesk and ecommerce tools.
