mattvitale/Dennis-OSS
An Australian-law-focused fork of Mike, rebranded as Dennis OSS and tuned for Aussie legal practice.
Dennis OSS is mattvitale's reimagining of Mike for the Australian legal market. The fork leans hard on local positioning - a new name, a new pitch, and early work on a persona that thinks like an Australian lawyer rather than a generic one.
Right now it's more identity than implementation. mattvitale has drafted an Australian-law system prompt, but it isn't wired into the product yet, so visitors trying the fork today would encounter something close to upstream Mike behind a Dennis-branded README. The direction is clear even if the substance is still arriving.
If you're curious where this goes, the signals point to a localised Australian legal assistant with its own brand, data-sovereignty story, and voice - built by mattvitale as a deliberate regional spin on the upstream project.
What's in it
- Dennis OSS branding A full rebrand from Mike to Dennis OSS, with marketing positioned around Australian legal practice.
- Australian-law persona A drafted system prompt that frames the assistant as an Australian lawyer, ready to be wired up.
- Regional positioning Pitched explicitly at Australian users rather than as a generic legal tool.
