Auto Mode in Word

What’s New

Harvey for Word now includes Auto mode, a new option that automatically chooses the right action — Ask, Edit, or Draft — based on the user’s query.

Key capabilities

• Automatically classifies your request and routes it to the appropriate mode
• Reduces manual mode-switching during drafting and review
• Supports manual override at any time

Why It Matters

Auto mode simplifies decision-making when working with documents in Word.

You no longer need to determine whether your request is informational, editorial, or generative — Harvey analyzes the input and assigns the correct mode.

This helps teams:

• Move faster with fewer clicks
• Reduce uncertainty around when to use Ask vs. Edit vs. Draft
• Maintain editing precision by keeping override controls easily accessible

How to Use

Auto mode is enabled by default, and it appears in the mode selector at the top of the Harvey for Word sidebar.

FAQs

Q: Does Auto mode replace Ask, Edit, or Draft?

No. All modes remain available. Auto mode is an optional, streamlined entry point.

Q: Can I override Auto mode?

Yes. You can switch to another mode at any time and re-run your request.

Q: What if Auto mode picks the wrong mode?

Select the mode you prefer and run the same request again. This helps Harvey refine routing over time.
