Why it matters
Research is mostly gathering, cleaning and comparing. Handing that groundwork to an agent leaves the person with the part that needs judgment: deciding what the findings mean. It is one of 201 sightings filed under Research & Data on Agent Sightings (number 34 by interest), and one of 52 involving Harvey.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Harvey or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
I want an assistant to answer questions over our own data and show how it got each answer. The tool in the source case was Harvey.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
