An inside look on some of the things we're building at Harvey! Huge shoutout to the Workflows team @nikogrupen, @skylarwang15, @ItsJulioPereyra, @sakshigupta93, @laaurenoh, @jchudnov, @adam_erick, @willyosh_, @spencerpoff and others not on Twitter :)

Thanks @ilyaf and @kleinerperkins for their awesome KP Fellows program and shout out to the ones interning at @harvey__ai: @SkylarWang15, @Jat1nn, Elaine Zhai, @ASundresh, and Yihan Huang!

Huge kudos to @pfelgueres, Philip Lan, @spencerpoff, @calvincongelado, Karl de la Roche, @ItsJulioPereyra, and @nikogrupen for building Deep Research at Harvey in < 12 hours! Check out how our Deep Research system works in our blog below.
Our engineering team built Deep Research for legal in 12 hours following the release of OpenAI's Deep Research API. How does it work? Read how we built Deep Research with our Workflow Engine, exposing thinking states, and integrating our citations system.
In the last month at Harvey: - Several product releases (Deep Research today, Workflow Builder this week, Claude & Gemini in Harvey) - LexisNexis and iManage integration partnerships (top two most requested product features from our customers) - $300M Series E at $5B valuation…
