amal66/mike
Mike moved into Microsoft Word, made self-hostable and pluggable, and hardened for production legal work.
The centerpiece is a Microsoft Word add-in. amal66 has built Mike into a task pane that sits inside the document a lawyer already has open: a chat assistant that can see what you're drafting, one-click document actions, and tabs for workflows and projects. No copying text out to a browser and pasting answers back. The add-in landed as a six-layer series of reviewable pieces, which tells you something about how this fork is run.
Around that, the fork is being reshaped into something you can operate yourself. There's a one-command Docker setup for running the full stack on your own servers, swappable registries for AI providers and file storage, a plugin system for wiring in jurisdiction-specific legal sources, a Python SDK, and workflows that export to shareable files.
The third thread is a long security and reliability pass: defenses against documents that smuggle instructions to the AI, uploads vetted by actual file content, message quotas enforced server-side, and logs scrubbed of user and document identifiers. Nothing identifies amal66 beyond the handle, but the fork also picked up CI, a test suite, and contributor docs - the work reads like preparation for real deployments and outside contributors.
What's in it
- Microsoft Word add-in A task pane inside Word with Mike's chat, one-click document actions, and workflow and project tabs. The chat can read the document you have open.
- Self-hosted deployment One command stands up the full web-and-API stack locally with Docker Compose, for anyone who wants Mike on their own servers.
- Bring your own AI engine Swappable AI providers and file storage. Changing either is a small, contained job instead of surgery on the core.
- Jurisdiction plugins A law-library plugin system for bolting local legal sources onto Mike without rewiring the rest of the app.
- Python SDK A ready-made client for engineers who want to build on Mike's API without dealing with the plumbing.
- Security hardening Prompt-injection defenses for untrusted documents, uploads checked by real content rather than filename, server-enforced usage quotas, and an access fix that stopped users from reading each other's data.
- Portable workflows Reusable legal workflows export to shareable files that move between Mike installations.

📝 amal66 turns Mike into a bring-your-own-engine platform 2 commits 2mo ago infrastructureintegration draft
The fork rebuilds how Mike connects to AI models and file storage so swapping either one becomes a small, contained job instead of open-heart surgery.
📝 chatTools.ts monolith split 1 commit 2mo ago minor change
📝 amal66 hands Python developers a front door into Mike 1 commit 2mo ago integrationinfrastructure draft
A ready-made toolkit lets engineers plug into Mike's features without wrestling with the plumbing underneath.
📝 amal66 turns Mike into a kit for jurisdiction-specific legal AI 1 commit 2mo ago integrationworkflow draft
A new plugin system lets you bolt local legal sources onto Mike without rewiring the core.
📝 amal66 closes the books by hardening the plumbing - and admitting what it can't 3 commits 2mo ago infrastructureintegration draft
The final stretch of amal66's fork tightens reliability and self-hosting while openly parking the credential-heavy work for later.
📝 Community health files and contributor documentation 3 commits 2mo ago minor change
This fork is treating an automated test suite as a shippable feature, not an afterthought.
A defense against documents that try to hijack the AI by smuggling instructions into their own text.
Per-user message limits now get enforced on the server before any expensive AI call fires - not just shown in the interface.
📝 amal66 lets legal workflows pack up and travel 2 commits 2mo ago workflowknowledge-management draft
A fork owner is turning reusable legal know-how into shareable files that move between Mike setups without touching a database.
Three changes that make amal66's fork harder to misuse and harder to corrupt - work borrowed straight from the upstream project.

Two changes stop a flaky AI provider from freezing the app or surfacing errors that didn't need to surface.
A new one-command setup lets anyone stand up Mike's full web-and-API stack locally instead of wiring it together by hand.
