What users say
Harvey is commonly used by legal teams to accelerate contract review, compliance checks, and due diligence processes. A frequently noted strength is its specialization — it is built around legal workflows rather than adapted from a general assistant. A common limitation is the lack of an API and its narrow focus, which limits usefulness outside structured legal work.
