Structuring matters as the core workspace for legal AI

AI organizes threads, documents, agents, and permissions around a matter or project so teams can work from a single contextual workspace instead of managing fragmented legal tasks manually.

Why the human is still essential here

Legal teams must decide matter structure, access rights, and what work product belongs in the file. Humans remain responsible for governance, confidentiality, and matter management decisions.

How people use this

Matter workspace setup

AI creates a new matter workspace with the right folders, metadata, permissions, and linked assistants as soon as a case or deal is opened.

Unified email and document filing

AI files emails, drafts, and attachments into the correct matter workspace so lawyers can work from one organized record instead of scattered systems.

NetDocuments / iManage

Matter-specific knowledge retrieval

AI answers questions and pulls precedent using only the documents, threads, and research stored inside the active matter context.

Today we announced Harvey II.

Today we announced Harvey II.

Legal work carries history with it, and Harvey's agents now start with that history. They inherit the full context of the matter or project, your team's knowledge, and a memory of how you work.


What’s new.


Persistent memory. Harvey learns how the firm and each lawyer work and writes in their voice everywhere the work happens (the Harvey app, Word, Outlook).


Project centric. Harvey restructures the product around the matter / project as its core object - every thread, document, agent, permission lives inside a matter / project.


Smarter agents. Lawyers say what they need and Harvey figures out the rest (which files, sources, and agents to use), so no one attaches documents or routes tasks by hand, and agents carry the work across the matter on their own.


A dedicated agents tab. A single screen, separate from matters, where you create agents and set up automations that run on a schedule. Admins use this tab to see every agent in the firm: what it exists to do, what data it can access, and what it has run.


New look and feel. Every surface of Harvey has been refreshed with a more polished look that improves clarity, consistency, and overall feel.


We built Harvey II closely alongside our customers. I'm grateful to every firm and legal team that helped shape the product, and to the Harvey team that brought it to life.
