View on GitHub →

amal66 is shaping Mike into a fuller legal-work platform for teams that want more control over where it runs, which AI services it uses, and who can access shared work. The fork has a clear self-hosting story, with stronger operational safeguards around documents, credentials, downloads and connected services.

The product direction is practical and ambitious: firm workspaces with role-aware access, connected knowledge from services such as Google Drive and Slack, and a Microsoft Word experience that brings chat, workflows and document actions into the drafting environment. It also puts unusual emphasis on making AI answers, citations and security controls more trustworthy.

This is an active fork with enough breadth to reward a closer look on GitHub, particularly for legal teams considering a controlled deployment rather than a standalone chat tool.
