We’re updating Assist mode to align more closely with the Assistant Workflows experience and better support agentic interactions:
- New thread UI:
- Chat-style layout with avatar bubbles
- Persistent follow-up prompt box pinned to the bottom
- Improved mid-thread file uploads and previews
- Slightly centered layout for better readability
- Nested thinking states: Visible reasoning steps will show how Harvey arrives at its answers, including in follow-up responses.
- Sticky followups: Suggested follow-up questions now persist in the thread for easy re-use.
- No changes to Draft mode UI or to the models powering Assist mode—quality and behavior remain the same.
