mattvitale/Dennis-OSS

An Australian-law-focused fork of Mike, rebranded as Dennis OSS and tuned for Aussie legal practice.

Early days - two threads of work over a single day of pushes, mostly groundwork rather than shipped capability.

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.
