The Brief: November 2026

Welcome back to The Brief. This month's releases let agents take on routine work with the context of your matters and projects, keep large document reviews current as new files arrive, and ground answers in the sources your team already relies on. Here's what's new.

Delegate Routine Work to Agents That Know Your Context

Harvey II gives agents the context of each matter or project and memory of how you work, so you can hand off tasks and keep every workstream organized in one Space.

Harvey II

Hand off more of your work as agents draw on context from your matters and projects and remember how you prefer to work. Learn more.

Updated Spaces

Keep every document, thread, agent, and task for a matter or project in one place with Spaces, rebuilt as the central home for your team's work. Learn more.

Custom Agents and Agent Builder

Turn your team's processes and standards into reusable Custom Agents, so routine tasks follow your approach every time they run. Learn more.

Space Templates

Start each new matter or project from your team's best setup by saving a Space, with its phases, tasks, agents, and resources, as a reusable template. Learn more.

Agent Builder Enhancements

Build and iterate on custom agents faster by editing details directly on the page, adding files and sources from the same menus you use in threads, and using review tables as agent context. Learn more.

Query a Space from a New Thread

Ask about a matter's materials without opening its Space by attaching a Space and a client matter to any query from the "Work in" selector. Learn more.

Tagging a Space to Client Matter

Keep work tied to the right engagement by tagging each Space to a client matter in workspaces that use client matters. Learn more.

Agent Nudges and Routing

Reference the right resources for better responses with Harvey suggesting relevant vaults, review tables, knowledge sources, connectors, and custom agents for your request. Learn more about routing and custom agent nudges.

Keep Large Document Reviews Current and Organized

Review tables and Vaults now keep pace with files as they arrive, so diligence, discovery, and contract reviews stay current without rebuilding tables or reorganizing folders by hand.

Review Table Sync

Keep a diligence or contract review current by connecting a review table to a Vault or selected folders, seeing when new documents land, and adding them all in one click. Learn more.

Multi-Folder DMS Sync

Bring a whole matter's documents into one Vault by syncing multiple folders from iManage, SharePoint, and Google Drive instead of creating a Vault per folder. Learn more.

Agentic Vault File Organization

Reorganize a Vault by describing the folder structure you want in plain language from a new thread. Learn more.
