eliziff/Beaver
Beaver is a local-first Canadian legal workspace built around grounded research, document work and auditable AI assistance.
eliziff is recasting this fork as Beaver: a legal-AI workspace with a clear Canadian-law focus and a local-first setup. The product aims to make research, authorities and document work feel like parts of one matter rather than isolated AI prompts.
The emphasis is unusually practical: preserve the wording in Word files, return readers to pinpoint PDF evidence, keep legal chat within a managed context budget, and show the basis for citations and case characterizations. eliziff is also testing alternative assistant channels and evaluation methods, suggesting a product that wants its AI claims to be inspectable as well as useful.
What's in it
- Canadian legal research Brings Canadian and US legal sources into a more local, indexed research workflow.
- Auditable citations and evidence Connects authorities, supporting passages and case characterizations with a clearer trail back to the source.
- Matter-ready document work Treats Word editing, tracked changes and redlines as legal-document tasks that need sceptical handling.
- Managed legal chat Keeps long-running assistant work within tighter context limits and clearer stopping points.
- Authorities workspace Gives the book of authorities a project-specific place to be assembled and assessed.
- Testing legal AI reliability Builds a more disciplined way to compare legal-AI setups and check whether retrieval is properly grounded.
- Local-first setup Supports running the workspace locally without requiring a cloud-account route.

I'm stupid. Disregard
This is a concentrated effort to make a legal-AI workspace feel lighter, steadier and less repetitive without changing its core purpose.
This Beaver fork treats a long-running matter as a managed workspace, not an ever-growing prompt.
