The Brief: July 2026
Welcome back to The Brief. This month's updates help you handle more complex reasoning and document reviews with fewer manual steps, and expand what you can accomplish on the go. Here's what's new.
Accelerate Complex Drafting, Reviews, and Contracting
Handle more complex workflows without increasing manual work with new agentic features that handle more of the drafting, review, and reporting, so you can focus on the analysis and judgment.
Thread Experience Update for Agents
Hand off complex, multi-step work to Harvey and step away with confidence: request and validate the agent’s plan upfront, run multiple tasks at once, and get pulled back in when results are ready for your review. Learn more.
Edit Any Review Table Cell In-Line
Save time when reviewing transactional documents or evidence files by correcting any review table cell directly in place, without opening a separate modal. Learn more.
Attach a File as Column Context
Evaluate every row against a fixed reference, like a template or regulatory standard, by attaching a file to a review table column instead of restating it in each prompt. Learn more.
Review Table Email Notifications
Step away from a long-running review table and quickly jump back into work with new email notifications that alert you when results are completed, shared with you, or exported. Learn more.
Organization Context for In-House Teams
