Agent Builder: Expanding AI Automation for Legal Teams
Harvey announced Agent Builder, an evolution of its existing Workflow Builder that empowers legal teams to create custom agents for handling complex, multi-step legal tasks. The new capability builds on Harvey's agentic architecture, which is designed to pull from different tools, adapt findings, and execute workflows automatically.
Current Agent Usage at Scale
The platform has already demonstrated significant traction with agentic workflows:
- 400K+ daily agentic queries processed for legal tasks like contract reviews and document editing
- 20M+ terms extracted in review tables across litigation and transactional matters
- 445K+ reports created using agentic Deep Analysis features
- 25,000+ custom workflows already built by legal teams using Workflow Builder
What's New
Agent Builder represents an evolution of the existing Workflow Builder, allowing teams to structure recurring legal tasks with greater sophistication. Notable early adopters include:
- GSK Stockmann, which built custom workflows to accelerate due diligence reviews
- Ashurst, which created practice-group-specific agents for lease summary generation, saving hours of manual work
Key Benefits for Legal Teams
The evolution capitalizes on improvements in underlying AI models to unlock new opportunities for scaling expertise. Teams can:
- Define custom inputs and processing steps tailored to firm-specific workflows
- Automate complex, multi-step legal tasks with consistent, reliable outputs
- Reduce manual effort while maintaining quality control and auditability
Agent Builder is available as part of Harvey's platform, enabling in-house legal teams, law firms, and professional service networks to build purpose-built agents for their practice areas.
