One platform for legal and beyond.
Legal teams rarely work in isolation. Novis covers legal workflows plus finance, consulting, and corporate use cases, so your firm or legal department uses one workspace, not a siloed legal-only tool.
Direct model control, not vendor routing.
Harvey is multi-LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more) but routes models through its legal harness. Novis lets you pick Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any model directly per task, or use Novis Mix to combine them.
