🟢 #2 docs: Lexnova AI design briefs (full set) +2,207 18d ago self by
vincentbirot ↗ analysis ↗ GitHub Adds the complete design specification set for the Lexnova AI product roadmap.
vincentbirot/lexnova-mike
vincentbirot is reshaping Mike into Lex Nova, a legal-practice assistant that speaks the language law firms actually use.
Lex Nova is vincentbirot's effort to turn Mike from a generic AI assistant into something that fits naturally inside a law firm. The most visible move so far is a vocabulary swap - every "Project" in the interface becomes a "Matter," the term lawyers use for a client engagement. It's a small change that signals a much bigger ambition.
Alongside the rename, vincentbirot has published a design brief outlining a seven-sprint roadmap for where Lex Nova is heading: from solo assistant toward a full firm platform. The features themselves haven't been built yet, but the direction is on paper.
This is early-stage work - more positioning than product so far - but the framing is deliberate. If you want to see where a Mike fork aimed squarely at legal practice might go, this is the one to watch.
What's in it
- Lawyer-native vocabulary The interface talks about Matters, not Projects - aligning the product with how law firms actually describe client engagements.
- Lex Nova rebrand Mike is being repositioned as Lex Nova, a distinct identity aimed at legal-practice users rather than a generic AI assistant.
- Seven-sprint roadmap A published design brief lays out the planned path from solo assistant to firm-wide platform before features are built.
- Autonomous build pipeline groundwork The early rename work doubles as a dry run for an autonomous build pipeline vincentbirot is developing.
