thegrif/mike

thegrif's take on Mike that lets you run the legal-AI app on OpenAI, not just Claude or Gemini.

Early days - a single focused change adding OpenAI support, with no new pushes since, so momentum is quiet for now.

This is thegrif's fork of Mike, the legal-AI app. So far it stays close to the original, with one clear idea driving it: give Mike a third AI engine to run on. Where the stock app talks to Claude or Gemini, thegrif adds OpenAI as a switchable option.

The work is done properly rather than bolted on - OpenAI slots in as a first-class peer to the models Mike already supports, so choosing it is just a matter of picking a provider. If your firm standardizes on OpenAI, or you just want the freedom to swap engines, that's the pitch here.

Beyond the model choice, the fork tracks upstream Mike closely. There's no rebrand or new niche to report - the value is model flexibility. Click through to GitHub if you want to see how it's wired up.

What's in it

OpenAI as a third engine Adds OpenAI alongside the Claude and Gemini backends Mike already offers, so you can run the app on the provider you prefer.
Switchable model providers Pick your AI engine rather than being tied to one - OpenAI is a first-class option you can select, not a minimal add-on.
