Mike: Open-Source Legal AI with Self-Hosting, Multi-Model Support
Ad

Mike is an open-source legal AI platform positioned as a drop-in replacement for Harvey and Legora. It provides the same feature set without enterprise contracts or per-seat pricing; you only pay the model API costs. The codebase is fully auditable and forkable.

Core Features

  • Assistant: Chat interface that reads uploaded documents, cites verbatim, runs multi-step workflows, and drafts/edits contracts end-to-end. Supports plugging in Claude or Gemini keys for full model control.
  • Projects: Matter-scoped workspaces that maintain full context across conversations and documents (credit agreements, SPAs, leases, diligence packs).
  • Tabular Review: Spreadsheet-style extraction across hundreds of documents in parallel. Every cell is cited back to a page and quote — no hallucinations.
  • Workflows: Save proven prompts as reusable templates (CP checklists, credit agreement summaries, change-of-control reviews). Juniors can run them in one click firm-wide.

Why Open Source

  • Zero license cost, no vendor lock-in, no rising per-seat fees.
  • Self-hostable by design — documents stay within your infrastructure for compliance, data residency, and privilege control.
  • Fork, extend with practice-specific workflows, integrate your DMS, or wire in your own citation engine.
  • Audit every line: no black boxes around prompt construction, citation parsing, or data flow.

Start in the cloud or clone the repo. Available as a hosted product or to self-deploy from source.

Commitment Issues: A Tool That Analyzes and 'Buries' Unfinished GitHub Repos

A developer built a tool called Commitment Issues that analyzes GitHub repositories to determine if they're abandoned, generates a 'death certificate,' and extracts the final commit message as 'last words.' The tool uses heuristics like commit frequency, last activity, and stars vs momentum, and was prototyped using Claude.
