What's new in goHeather in November 2026

These are the new features goHeather released in November 2026.

The Vault

The Vault is the new file management screen for the workspace. Contracts, uploads and generated files sit in one browsable place instead of being reachable only through the chat or review that created them.

Contract statuses

Contracts can now carry a status: Template, Draft, Out for signature, Signed, Expired or Terminated. You set it from the contract's panel. It applies to contracts only, not to other file types in the Vault, and nothing sets it for you; it is a field you keep current. Together with search it gives you a way to pull up, say, everything still out for signature.

Notification settings

Settings also gained notification toggles. You can turn on or off emails for deadline reminders, a finished contract review and a finished draft, each separately, so people who only want to hear when a review lands can have just that.

Major Chat Improvements

Until now a conversation in goHeather was tied to one contract, and the AI could only see the document you had open in the right panel. That limit is gone. The chat can now work across multiple documents, read the comments and track changes already sitting in the file, and search your entire workspace.

Tickler Improvements

goHeather’s Upload a contract feature now pulls more out of each contract than a few dates. The tickler, now located in the Vault, now has more dates for you to track and be notified about as they approach.

Upload used to extract a short fixed list of dates for the Vault’s tickler. Extraction is now wider: parties, agreement type, term, fees, payment terms and termination rights where the contract has them, and dates labelled by what they are (an effective date, a renewal date, a payment deadline, a notice deadline) rather than forced into preset categories. Extracted values carry a reference back to the source text so you can check them and correct them.

One chat, several documents, and the AI picks which one it is working on

A chat can hold up to ten contracts, plus anything you attach later and any file the AI generates. Before the November 2026 release, you had to click the document you wanted in the right panel before every message, and the AI could not read anything else. Ask "does this SOW match the MSA" and it would tell you to switch documents first.

Now each message acts on one target document, chosen by you or the AI from what you said, what the last turn was about, and what you have open. The other documents in the chat are reference material it can read when the question calls for it. So "does the SOW's payment schedule match the MSA" is answered from both files. "Use the MSA's defined terms in the SOW" edits the SOW only, and the reply shows that the MSA was consulted. The panel follows the target, so edit suggestions always land in the document you are looking at.

Two limits worth knowing. A message still changes one document at a time, so "redline all three" becomes three turns. And if a request could apply to two documents and nothing settles it, the AI asks which one you mean rather than guessing.

Answers that link to the clause

When the chat talks about a section of a contract, the reply now carries a clickable link to that passage in the attached PDF or Word file. Click it and you are at the text. When it has done outside research, it links to the web source it is drawing on. You no longer have to take a chat answer on faith or go hunting for the paragraph it means.

The chat can see your comments and tracked changes

If a contract already carries comments, threads and tracked changes, the chat can read them. That matters when a counterparty sends back a marked-up draft and your first question is "what did they actually change". The AI can work from the changes themselves instead of from the clean text, and it can suggest a compare review that looks only at the changes.

Search for clauses, names, issues or documents across the workspace, from the search bar or from the chat

Workspace-wide search arrived in the November 2026 release. It covers contract text, extracted metadata, review findings, playbooks, templates, chats and file names, in one search screen with tabs and snippets that link straight to the match. If you remember a clause but not which of forty vendor agreements it was in, this is how you find it.

In the November 2026 release, the chat gets the same search as a tool. You can ask for a contract by party or subject inside a conversation instead of leaving the chat to go find it.

Memory at the user and contract level

The chat now stores memory, and in two places: things it has learned about how you work, and things specific to a given contract. Context you gave in a previous conversation about a file carries into the next one on that file, and you stop repeating yourself. You can see all your memory in the workspace settings bar.

Smaller changes you will notice

Attaching a contract no longer stops the conversation; the AI carries on with whatever you asked before you attached it.

And playbook selection in review setup got its old options back: you can import a starter playbook or create a new one from the setup card, which is the right place for it, since the playbook is the setting that decides what counts as a finding.

What to try first in our new Legal AI

If you have an MSA and an SOW from the same vendor, put both in one chat and ask whether the SOW's payment terms match the master. That one question uses the multi-document chat, the clause links and the reference reads together, and it is the kind of cross-document check that used to mean two windows and a lot of scrolling.
