Legal AI provider Harvey introduced “Harvey II” on August 18, 2026 1. Agents open inside a “Space” scoped to a matter or project, starting with the documents, parties, tasks, permissions and history of the work already there 1. For firms, permissions and ethical walls sync from existing systems into the Space, while client data never moves from one Space to another 1. The other pillar, Memory, learns how you structure a summary, what you want cited and how you write — from both direct instruction and your edits during work — and carries that across Harvey, Word and Outlook 1. Everything Harvey remembers can be viewed, changed or turned off entirely, and is never used to train models, the company states 1. Harvey also announced Harvey Tenet, its first model, post-trained for legal reasoning 1. Memory that persists across sessions has also arrived in GitHub Copilot for JetBrains, spreading from general coding assistants into vertical tools.
