Harvey adds connectors, LexisNexis motion drafting and new models in October update

Searching where the work already lives

The first group of releases focuses on finding documents, emails, dockets and contracts without manual hunting. The Harvey Connector Library is a curated set of pre-verified connectors. According to Harvey, admins can control who can use each connector and which actions run automatically.

Agentic Search now covers SharePoint, OneDrive and Google Drive. Users describe the precedent or prior work product they need, and Harvey plans the search and answers with citations to the source documents. Gmail Search lets users search messages, threads and labels from within a Harvey thread, for example to pull in client decisions and strategy discussions.

Two further integrations target litigation and contracts. PacerPro Vault Sync keeps a litigation Vault current by syncing it to a federal court docket in PacerPro. Every existing filing is loaded at creation and new filings are added through a daily sync. Users can also import executed agreements from Ironclad into Vault or Assistant, then ask questions, extract key terms and build review tables across them.

More authority for motions and research

Harvey introduced a Motion to Dismiss Workflow built with LexisNexis. From a single complaint, it drafts a complete, fully cited motion to dismiss, researched against live LexisNexis case law. Users approve the grounds and research plan before drafting begins.

On the research side, Harvey says it has added 130+ new legal research sources to provide the latest relevant jurisdictional information. A new Octus knowledge source supports leveraged finance and restructuring work with expert credit analysis, private company financials, covenant and restructuring data, and US court filings.

Custom Knowledge Source Filters let users save preferred filters, including for web search, and set one as the default for that source, so they do not have to rebuild the same setup for each query.

Spreadsheets, review tables and two new models

Harvey now reads each Excel cell's underlying formula and saved value directly, and answers cite the exact cells it relied on. That is aimed at checking the figures behind documents such as deal models.

The Review Table Refresh adds a fullscreen document previewer, a condensed cell popover with key actions up front, and per-column controls for filtering and sorting, intended to reduce clutter in diligence reviews.

Users can also choose between two new models. Anthropic's Fable 5.1 is described as built for document-heavy litigation and dispute work. OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, according to Harvey, surfaces unsupported assumptions and turns gaps into drafting positions.

Mobile agents and new languages

The Harvey mobile app gains an Agents tab where users can run, schedule and star custom agents, or add an agent to a thread when it needs more context first. Connectors on Mobile allows users to query connected sources from their phone with answers cited to the underlying material. Live Prompt Dictation offers real-time transcription for prompts of any length.

Localization is also expanding. Users can set their preferred language to receive responses in English (UK), German, Italian, or Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal).

What it means for Harvey users

The release centers on connecting Harvey to the repositories, email, court dockets and contract systems legal teams already use, and on tying drafting and research to cited sources. Harvey says customers can try the features now or contact their Harvey team, while non-customers can request a demo. The source does not give pricing or plan availability for the individual features.
