gercyc/mike
gercyc is rebuilding Mike to run entirely inside a firm's own walls - self-hosted, multilingual, and wired to more AI engines.
This is a self-hosting fork of Mike, led by gercyc. The throughline across the work is independence from managed cloud services: gercyc is moving the whole system onto private infrastructure so a firm can run it on its own servers rather than someone else's. There's a build-and-deploy pipeline pointed at the author's own hardware to match.
On top of that foundation, gercyc is widening what Mike can handle day to day. The document viewer now opens more file types natively and the AI can produce formatted documents on demand, workflows can hold onto their own attached files, and the model menu has grown to include more AI providers. The front end has also been rebuilt around language, with Brazilian Portuguese as the first target beyond English - a strong signal this fork is aimed at a non-US, likely Brazilian, audience.
Nothing here is a rebrand; it's the same Mike, re-pointed at on-premises deployment and a Portuguese-speaking market. If you want to see how far it's diverged, the GitHub repo is worth a click.
What's in it
- Run it on your own servers The cloud foundation is being swapped out so the entire system can run inside a firm's own infrastructure rather than a managed service.
- Deploy to your own hardware A build-and-deploy pipeline targets gercyc's own infrastructure, packaging the app for self-hosted release.
- Portuguese support The front end is rebuilt around language, with Brazilian Portuguese as the first target beyond English.
- More document types in the viewer Beyond Word and PDF, the viewer now opens Markdown and HTML natively - and the AI can generate formatted documents on demand.
- Workflows with their own files Workflows can carry persistent attached files instead of treating every document as a one-off input.
- A wider model menu Additional AI providers are bolted on, giving users more engines to run their legal work through.
