Mike

Mike is an open-source legal AI platform designed for law firms that want to own their technology stack without vendor lock-in or escalating enterprise costs. Unlike proprietary alternatives, Mike gives you complete control over your documents, models, and workflows.

Core capabilities include a conversational interface that reads and cites documents verbatim, multi-step workflow automation, and end-to-end contract drafting and editing. You connect your own API keys to Claude, Gemini, or OpenAI and maintain full visibility into which models process your data.

Key features:

• Projects: Matter-scoped workspaces that maintain document context across conversations
• Tabular review: Parallel extraction across hundreds of documents with verifiable citations
• Workflows: Save and reuse proven prompts as firm-wide templates for checklists, summaries, and reviews
• Self-hosted deployment: Keep documents within your infrastructure for compliance and privilege protection

Why choose open source? You eliminate per-seat licensing, avoid vendor lock-in, and pay only for model API usage. Fork the codebase to add practice-specific workflows, integrate your document management system, or build custom citation engines. Every line of code is auditable—no hidden prompts or opaque data flows.

Deploy as a hosted product or clone the repository to self-host immediately. Mike delivers feature parity with enterprise legal AI platforms at zero licensing cost.
