Harvey II was introduced in August 2026 around a problem with legal AI: a matter can last for months, while an assistant often starts each task without the history behind it. Lawyers were repeatedly supplying documents, explaining context and correcting the same preferences.
The redesign brings agents into Spaces containing a matter’s documents, participants, permissions and work history. Separate memory carries preferences about writing and output, while Harvey Tenet adds a model post-trained for legal reasoning. The product’s direction is to make context persist as work passes between lawyers and agents, reducing the setup required for each new task.
