AI lets law-firm innovation, knowledge, and legal-ops teams configure custom agents and workflow automations in plain English or no-code builders for firm-specific legal workflows — including contract intake, approvals, agreement standardization, playbook-based review, research, drafting, and risk detection — reducing dependence on vendor engineers for setup and iteration.
Lawyers and innovation teams still need to define the workflow, choose trusted source materials, design the policy logic, set governance boundaries, approve automation limits, handle exceptions, and review outputs before use in client matters.
Innovation teams configure an agent to triage new internal requests, gather required matter details, and route work to the right practice or template set.

Harvey launched pre-built agents and a self-service tool this morning.
Innovation teams at law firms can now configure their own agents in plain English, without bothering Harvey’s engineers. The valuation, in case you’d lost track, is $11B.
Legal tech regulars will enjoy “self-service”.
The pitch is real. Practice groups know their workflows better than Harvey does, and shifting agent design to them is sensible. The unstated bit is that agent design has now been moved firmly out of the hands of anyone whose job involves asking where data goes at inference time. Innovation and knowledge teams are good at lots of things. Inference paths are not, generally, on the list. Happy to be sworn at if I’m wrong.
There are 25,000 custom agents already deployed across 1,300 organisations. If you have a calculator handy, that’s a great many prompts being pointed at a small handful of foundation providers, and a great many opportunities for privileged content to leave firms in ways nobody is logging.
The product copy says “ground every answer in sources you trust.” The sources are the firm’s own materials. Trust in the source is not the same as trust in the path the source travels.👊
The flagship example for the new long-horizon agents, incidentally, is fund formation; the practice area where LP terms, side letters, and GP precedent are most acutely cross-matter sensitive. One can only wonder at the choice.
