The Brief: August 2026
Welcome back to The Brief. This month's releases give admins greater control over access and adoption, enhance Harvey’s capabilities in the tools you already work in, and bring more relevant local sources and language support to you. Here's what's new.
Steer AI Adoption With Confidence
New tooling helps admins, conflicts teams, and firm leadership see how Harvey is being used, enforce the restrictions they already maintain elsewhere, and more easily manage their content.
Command Center
Command Center gives Innovation leads and Legal Ops admins everything they need to prove their AI program is working: adoption by practice group, peer benchmarking, and leadership-ready reports, all in one place. Learn more.
