Harvey
You can absolutely build a local RAG assistant over your own PDFs with a focused implementation, and for reading your lease or a vendor contract that is genuinely enough. Harvey is not sold on that loop. It is sold on trained-and-evaluated legal workflows, curated case law and regulatory sources under license, deployment that survives a law firm's security review, and the ability to put a name behind an output that a partner will bill against. The thing you cannot one-shot is the confidence to rely on the answer, which in legal work is the entire product. A personal replacement is fine for personal stakes and dangerous the moment money or a filing depends on it.
