5jabs rebrands Mike as Sterlex and fixes the chat plumbing
This is more than a new name: Sterlex closes several gaps that could make shared legal-AI conversations unreliable.
Alongside a broad Sterlex rebrand, 5jabs has addressed three practical problems in the chat experience:
- Conversation storage: user messages are now saved properly, avoiding a gap where only assistant replies could persist.
- Project ownership: a project owner can now rename or remove a conversation begun by a collaborator.
- Missing AI connection: when no required service key is configured, users get a clear prompt to update settings instead of a failed or confusing response.
The fork also adds better logging around failed message saves, making operational problems easier for the team to spot. The identity work is specific to Sterlex, but these reliability fixes stand on their own as sensible improvements to any legal-AI workspace handling shared matter conversations.
So what Legal teams using shared AI workspaces should care because reliable conversation records and clear access controls are table stakes for collaborative legal work.
