Last updated: Jun 6, 2025

At Harvey, our mission is to enable professionals to achieve mastery in their domains faster through AI. In the constantly evolving AI landscape, we will continue to improve the Harvey platform to meet the demands of global enterprise organizations like yours. We are committed to keeping you informed and prepared for these changes, and we have outlined a tiered process for sharing updates about our product releases below. Some features are rolled out by default, while others are opt-in at your firm’s discretion.

Release Tiers

Tier 1 Releases: Significant launches that introduce entirely new products or transformative features. Examples include:

Tier 2 Releases: New functionalities that extend the platform’s usability. Examples include:

  • Sharing capabilities (opt-in)
  • Self-serve user permissions
  • New integrations (opt-in)

Tier 3 Releases: Incremental improvements and minor updates. Examples include:

  • Export with redlines
  • Uploading documents mid-thread
  • New Translation languages
