Cpodlaskilegal rebrands Mike as Docket and wires it into the tools lawyers already use
Seven weeks of work landed at once: a new identity, plug-in connections to practice software, and free case-law research inside the chat.
This fork is no longer calling itself Mike. It's now "Docket," with its own onboarding tutorial for new users. The bigger story is what got built underneath:
- A connector system that lets each user link the assistant to outside services, with individual sign-in handled per account. It ships pre-configured for Box, the cloud document-storage platform, and PracticePanther, a law practice management system.
- Case-law research through CourtListener, a free public database of US court opinions, reachable from its own page in the app.
- Sturdier chat: clearer error messages when something goes wrong, and fixes to keep long project conversations from falling over.
One flag for the cautious: the connector layer stores each user's sign-in credentials and routes some traffic through a third-party hosting service, which deserves scrutiny before anyone puts client matters through it.
So what Firms that want an AI assistant reading from their actual document store and practice management system, rather than a sealed chatbot, should watch this fork closely.
