How Legal Engineers Would Use Harvey Agents for Outlook

Harvey published a set of example use cases for Harvey Agents for Outlook, written by its Legal Engineers, who are former practicing lawyers. It's a walkthrough of how the agents handle inbox and calendar work, not a new release.

One example is a scheduled agent that prepares a daily briefing. It summarizes the day's meetings, points out emails that need a reply, flags outstanding follow-ups, and can draft calendar events for you to review. The post pitches this for people like litigators who get court orders and hearing dates by email and have to get each date onto a calendar.

A second example starts from a single email. The agent can pull context from your firm's authorized knowledge sources and draft a reply or create a task. If the Outlook connector is enabled, it can also search across multiple messages. It can run one of your specialized agents on repetitive work, such as reviewing a batch of discovery documents.

A third example is correspondence filing. Agents can categorize emails and file messages and attachments into Vault. With the connector on, a custom agent can search your whole inbox, a specific folder or subfolder, and Vaults for a particular document or an answer about a deal.

You review and approve each action the agent takes.
