Overview
Mike is an open-source legal AI platform for law firms, used through a hosted cloud version or deployed from the source repo. A chat assistant reads documents uploaded into matter-scoped projects, gives grounded citations, researches case law and drafts contracts. Tabular review extracts fields across hundreds of documents in parallel, and saved prompts become reusable workflows.
