We’ve redesigned Harvey’s Assistant to make your day-to-day work simpler, faster, and more intuitive. Instead of jumping between different modes, you can now do everything in a single, unified workspace. Whether you're drafting a contract, analyzing a document, or asking follow-up questions, it all happens in one continuous thread.

Learn more about:

Draft & Edit - Harvey’s new Draft Editor lets you:

  • Make manual edits to any draft, right in the app
  • Ask questions and refine your draft on the spot—without switching tools
  • Use knowledge sources like Vault, the web, or case law to guide and improve your draft
  • Start drafts from scratch, or generate them from Vault Review tables

No more bouncing between tools or redoing work elsewhere—just open Harvey and keep moving.

One Assistant, All Your Work - We’ve merged "Assist" and "Draft" into a single experience:

  • Ask legal questions, draft a memo, review a contract, or generate clauses—all in the same place
  • Combine different tools (Vault, knowledge sources, editing) without losing context

Personalized, Simpler Homepage - We’ve also refreshed the homepage to help you start faster:

  • A simplified layout with personalized recommendations
  • No more separate “Draft” tab
  • New option to start with a blank draft if you already know what you want to create

Read Text Inside Images - Harvey can now extract and analyze text from images—including screenshots or scanned documents:

  • Upload images to Assistant or Vault and ask questions about their contents
  • Perfect for reviewing contract scans, email screenshots, or handwritten notes
Note: Charts and diagrams aren’t supported yet—this is focused on text-based images

This update is all about giving you one place to think, draft, refine, and review—without friction.
