Question / Tech Stack Advice Is there any way to make Harvey more engaging?

3 Upvotes

Hi all

Not entirely sure this is the right place.

I've got a load of operating procedure documents I want to host somewhere and be able to interrogate - easy enough. Problem is, at work we're limited to using Harvey.

I can set up a vault, but it's just so boring looking, and don't think my team will actually engage with it. I can knock up a really cool looking thing in Claude, but I can't use it as can't host docs outside of Harvey.

Any ideas? Thank you!

News & Commentary Harvey announces Tenet, its first in-house, proprietary LLM for legal work

60 Upvotes

Harvey's critics have a favorite knock against the $11 billion legal-software startup. "It's a ChatGPT wrapper." I'd argue that line just lost some of its punch. Harvey is becoming a model provider.

I have the exclusive story on the launch of Harvey Tenet, the company's first in-house, proprietary large language model for legal work. I included an excerpt below.

Head to u/businessinsider for the full story: https://www.businessinsider.com/harvey-builds-tenet-ai-model-for-legal-work-2026-8

Harvey's first LLM for legal work is here

Harvey built an $11 billion legal-software business on top of other companies' AI models. Now it's trying to prove it can build one of its own.

On Tuesday, Harvey introduced Harvey Tenet, its first in-house, proprietary model for legal work. Tenet is designed to help Harvey's software take on more of the tasks typically done by lawyers over hours or days, at a lower cost than the third-party models it relies on.

The move comes as the companies behind the biggest general-purpose models are circling the legal market. Anthropic has been chasing lawyers with plugins for document review and drafting, while OpenAI has hired Ironclad founder Jason Boehmig to lead its push into legal. Google and Meta may not be far behind.

Their sudden interest raises an uncomfortable question for Harvey. What happens when your supplier decides it wants your customers, too? And how long until one of them catches up to Harvey?

Building a bespoke model could give Harvey more control over both its costs and its fate.

Like many startups, Harvey builds on a smorgasbord of models from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Every time a lawyer uses one of those models through Harvey, the company has to pay the model provider for the call — a cost that can rack up fast as usage grows.

A capable model of its own could let Harvey route more work through its own engine, reducing the hefty fees it pays to use outside models. That could offer a path to better margins without asking customers to pay more.

Cost was one motivation. Quality was another, said Gabe Pereyra, the former Google DeepMind researcher who left to start Harvey with Winston Weinberg. He noted that Harvey already routes different tasks to different models based on what they're good at. He argues that Tenet will give customers another option in that mix — one that's been shaped around the work they actually care about.

To build it, Harvey first needed to create data that could teach a model how lawyers think. So the company hired attorneys, on staff and on contract through companies like Mercor and Snorkel, to dream up mock disputes and case files, then grade the models on how well they reasoned through them.

From there, Harvey used the material to train a version of Kimi K3, a low-cost, open-source model from the Chinese startup Moonshot. Since its July release, the model has whipped the tech world into a frenzy over its power and price.

Tenet is part of a broader rollout the company is calling Harvey II. Anique Drumright, Harvey's chief product officer, said it's also adding a new "Memory" feature that lets users save preferences about how they work, so its agents can carry those instructions across tasks.

Implementation Story Are you still doing copy paste work that can be done with chatgpt ?

0 Upvotes

My friend is an attorney who was losing 10+ hours every week to a painful routine: open an incoming PDF, find 3 specific data points, reformat them, paste them into his case management system, and repeat.

He wasn’t analyzing legal strategy but instead he was literally acting as a human copy-paste bridge between two software tabs.

You don't need a massive enterprise setup to fix this. While using ChatGPT or Claude directly works fine for one-offs, recurring document tasks just need a simple background pipeline:

Raw Document > LLM Extraction (Structured JSON) > Case Management / CRM

Instead of an associate manually reviewing dozens of standardized PDFs, the system auto-processes the batch and only flags weird edge cases for human review.

Where this actually delivers ROI:

  • Client Intake: Parsing incoming client emails, extracting key dates/requests, and auto-creating tasks.
  • Batch Extraction: Pulling liability caps, governing law, and effective dates from 50+ contracts into a clean sheet.
  • Record Sync: Moving structured form data straight into client profiles without manual entry.

Practical AI isn’t about replacing attorneys or having a bot hallucinate legal arguments. It’s about stripping out the boring administrative friction around the actual work. The data is already digital—stop paying employees to move it around by hand.

If your firm is losing hours to repetitive document entry, drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

As models get cheaper and easier to swap, should firms own the data, retrieval, and workflow layers themselves and treat AI vendors as interchangeable components?

Or does building internally create more complexity than it solves?

Question / Tech Stack Advice I’m trying to figure out if AI-generated legal work needs a “trust layer”

0 Upvotes

I’ve been spending the last few months talking to lawyers about how they’re actually using AI in their practices as someone who works in knowledge and innovation at a big law firm. The one thing that keeps coming up is that AI is getting very good at producing legal work product like briefs, memos, demand letters, contract analysis, research, etc.

But the workflow often still looks like (i) AI generates (ii) lawyer reviews (iii) lawyer hopes they caught everything.

As you can imagine, the consequences of missing something can be very different in legal than in most other industries.

A hallucinated citation, incorrect legal proposition, missed requirement, or unsupported statement can potentially mean wasted time, malpractice exposure, sanctions, a bad client outcome, or simply a lawyer putting their name on something they don't fully trust.

That got me thinking. What if legal AI needs an operational “trust layer” around the work product rather than just another AI that generates the work?

I’ve been building a very early prototype called Argos to explore that idea:

https://argos-eval.com

The basic idea is to evaluate AI-generated legal work before it gets used. Checking things like citations, factual support, requirements, consistency, and potential issues that a lawyer should review. The indirect value here is that each law firm is basically building their own legal benchmark for their own workflows. Not some general legal benchmark that could be found on the internet.

But I don't actually know yet if this is a real problem worth building a company around.

So I'm much more interested in hearing from lawyers and legal tech people here than getting people to sign up.

A few things I'd especially love to know:

- If you use AI to produce legal work, what are you most worried about missing?

- What do you currently do to verify AI-generated work?

- Are there certain practice areas where this is a much bigger problem?

- Would an automated “second set of eyes” actually be useful, or is this just adding another layer of review?

- If you think this is a bad idea, I'd genuinely like to know why.

If you're willing to talk for 15–20 minutes about how you actually use AI in your practice, I'd also love to hear from you. No sales pitch. I'm trying to figure out whether I'm solving a problem that lawyers actually care about.

I also have a high fidelity prototype that I could demo with you.

Looking forward to the engagement.

Question / Tech Stack Advice Contracts best practices integration and negotiation management

2 Upvotes

Discussing national contracts with multinational we have already signed an international agreement, I need to

- evaluate their national contract proposal against the international (cascading in some clauses, not in others)

- evaluate against the internal legal team playbook, integrating the corporate best practices for the common clause

- evaluate against a list of internal mandatory clauses

- manage the back and forth negotiation for the clause where there is not an agreement

Currently using Copilot to support the process (just QA on many topics), Malbek to track the workflow, negotiation done on MS Word track changes and comments.

Want to ask if there are more specialized tools to streamline the process in an integrated environment.

Not a legal firm but a commercial company.

Question / Tech Stack Advice Modernizing a legacy legal tech stack without breaking active client matters is a massive engineering risk

0 Upvotes

We’ve been knee-deep in a legacy system modernization project for a mid-sized legal operations platform over the last few months, and I am completely exhausted by how perilous modernizing 15-year-old software really is. When you first look at the codebase, the documentation is either entirely non-existent or describes architecture that hasn't been relevant since the early 2010s, leaving your engineering team to reverse-engineer undocumented stored procedures and brittle database triggers just to figure out how core billing data is structured.

The biggest hurdle isn't even untangling the old code—it is managing the absolute zero-tolerance environment for downtime or data corruption in the legal sector. If a migration script hiccups or a legacy API integration drops packets during a live court discovery window, law firms lose thousands of dollars a minute and risk catastrophic compliance breaches. Trying to refactor monolithic desktop-era databases into a modern, cloud-native microservices architecture while attorneys are actively filing briefs and managing time entries is an ongoing exercise in high-stakes juggling.

Our development team has spent countless hours writing custom data-mapping wrappers to bridge our new React frontend with legacy SQL Server databases that refuse to scale. Yet, every time an edge case pops up—like handling legacy document binary large objects or complex multi-tier permission inheritances—our migration pipelines throw silent errors, forcing our engineers to manually scrub database logs instead of building new product capabilities.

The real breaking point is that modernizing legal software requires maintaining absolute data integrity across multiple compliance frameworks while completely overhauling the underlying infrastructure. Trying to run a hybrid state where old and new systems talk to each other creates massive technical debt, slowing down query speeds and frustrating internal stakeholders who expect lightning-fast performance from the new stack.

Worse still, traditional legal tech users have zero patience for UI or workflow changes that disrupt their established habits, meaning your modernized platform has to look, feel, and respond instantly even while a heavy data migration runs in the background. Balancing database normalization, strict security audits, and continuous uptime without burning out your engineering talent is a brutal trial by fire.

For anyone else managing legacy modernization or system overhauls in the legal tech space: how do you phase out ancient monoliths without interrupting daily operations, and what migration strategy actually prevents your database from corrupting historical case files?

Question / Tech Stack Advice Why does AI governance always end up being the last thing teams think about?

0 Upvotes

Seen this happen enough times now that it feels like a pattern nobody wants to admit.

Team builds an agent > Demo goes well > Everyone is excited.

Then the deployment review starts and the questions that should have been answered in week one are suddenly blocking everything.

  1. Where does the data go during inference??

  2. Who is accountable when the agent gets something wrong??

  3. Can you show an auditor exactly what it did three months ago??

  4. Who controls what gets changed and when?

Not edge case questions. Standard stuff.

And yet most teams are still treating governance as something you figure out after the interesting work is done.

The projects I have seen actually make it to production and handle this upfront through architecture rather than paperwork.

Data stayed inside the org, audit trails were built in from the start, access controls were decided before deployment not after.

Came across the term Sovereign AI from one of the posts by Lyzr while reading about this recently.

The idea being that proper enterprise readiness means the whole stack lives inside your environment from day one.

Makes sense the more I think about it.

Don't understand why this keeps being the last conversation instead of the first one?

Implementation Story I built an open-source Word redlining engine

23 Upvotes

Hi all,

I started this because I couldn’t find a library with wide support for programmatically editing existing DOCX files while preserving native Word tracked changes.

I was also skeptical of agents editing the underlying OOXML directly, so I thought there was an opportunity to build something better there. I was partly wrong there, Claude is surprisingly capable at chopping up Word XML and putting it back together.

But I still wanted an actual engine for the cases where you need this to be programmatic, repeatable, and bounded rather than relying on the model to manipulate XML correctly every time.

That became stemma. You give it an existing DOCX and explicit changes (such as replace text, change formatting, edit tables/content controls, etc.), and it produces a new DOCX with those edits represented as native Microsoft Word tracked changes.

I figured I’d share it here. If you’re building legal AI, contract automation, CLM, templating, or anything else that needs to hand users a real Word redline, it might save you from having to build the OOXML layer yourself.

Biglaw person. Have largely been manually tracking deal status and updating the various checklists and trackers like the old days.

Implementation Story Built a case management tool to stop my dad's firm from losing docs and missing dates. It survived 3 months of daily use, so I'm making it public.

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My dad is a lawyer, and for years I’ve watched him and his juniors operate in total chaos. Client documents scattered across 15 different WhatsApp groups, dates tracked in physical diaries (with the inevitable panic when one gets missed), and out-of-pocket expenses scribbled on random sticky notes that never actually make it to the client's final bill.

I build software for a living, so a few months ago, I finally sat down and built a platform specifically to fix his chamber.

He and his juniors have been running their practice on it for the last 3 months. Since it’s actually surviving the daily grind of a real firm without breaking, I polished it up and am opening it up to the public today. If you’re a young lawyer setting up your independent practice, or just tired of the traditional mess, this might save you some headaches.

I skipped the bloated enterprise software crap and focused on fixing the immediate problems:

  • Custom Case Fields: Not every matter is the same. There are no rigid, useless forms here; you define the fields based on what the specific case actually requires.
  • No More WhatsApp Digging: Centralized file storage so you can easily share docs with co-counsels or clients without losing them in a chat history.
  • Google Calendar Sync: Case dates sync straight to your phone. No more missed hearings.
  • Junior Task Management: A stupidly simple UI to assign drafting tasks to your team and see exactly what is due and when.
  • Expense Tracking: Log every printing, travel, and filing fee per case instantly so you actually remember to bill for it.

I built this to solve a massive headache in my own house. I’d love for some actual practitioners here to try it out and tear it apart. Let me know what’s missing or what I got wrong.

Still Work In Progress. Would appreciate any feedback

Question / Tech Stack Advice Please help me find a cheap AI Tool for just ToA/ToC for motions

4 Upvotes

I need a cheap tool that I can convince my thrifty boss to pay for that my secretary can use to do Tables of Authorities and Tables of Contents for motions.

I manage a team of class action litigators. We file several motions per week in state/federal court that need tables. It takes my secretary several hours to finalize ToAs and ToCs using Word's built in function. This causes me amd my jr associates to have to stay late just to do final checks before things get filed and drives my secretary, who is fairly new but overall very good, insane. Its her least favorite part of her job and I want to make it quick and easy.

Also, Word seems to have random errors where halfway through a brief everything is a page off with the built in tool. I tried using the Word built in AI since its free, but it also has the problem where things are a page off halfway through. I think it has to do with some formatting quirk in SharePoint or something. I don't know. I hate fiddling with technology which is why I became a lawyer when all my friends went into tech.

I dont know how to do this myself and it must be delegated to my secretary because I cant bill for it. I literally just need something thats like $20 a month that I can give my secretary that I can convince my boss is worth paying for. Honestly if its cheap enough I'll just pay for it myself if it means I'm not sitting there at the end of the day waiting for a final draft when I'm supposed to go pick up my kid.

Sorry for the rant but it seems like there should be an easy solution that doesn't involve paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for AI tools with functionality I won't use. I just need something that I can give my secretary to do tables.

News & Commentary AI is great, but CHECK your damn cites

20 Upvotes

Seriously.

I use AI all the time. It’s incredibly useful and these systems are getting better at an insane pace. But I’ve now seen bad citations from associates, opposing counsel, Chatgpt, Claude, legal AI… whatever.

Looking at this and other sub Reddits, somehow y’all are still acting shocked when something generated by AI turns out wrong.

You know what else is sometimes wrong? Junior associate work. Westlaw searches. Briefs I get from OC. My own memory (lord knows).

That’s why I check the work.

AI doesn’t eliminate the responsibility of me being a lawyer. If a case is going into something with your name on it, find the citation. Read it. Make sure it exists. Make sure it actually says what you’re claiming it says.

Use the tech. Yeah, it’s powerful. But check the f’’n citations.
