jmclark-lab/mike

A live-search legal AI fork steering Mike toward Latin American medical-device regulation.

Active: 65 tracked changes across eight work threads, with a push as recently as 3 September 2026.

jmclark-lab is shaping Mike into a chat assistant that can bring current web results into its answers, rather than relying solely on its underlying model's existing knowledge.

The clearest product direction is Latin American medical-device regulation: a more focused use case than general legal AI. jmclark-lab has also explored making Sakana AI's Fugu the fork's sole AI engine, while preparing the project for Railway-style deployment.
