open-legal-products makes Mike's sources trustworthy wherever lawyers work

Mike now treats the materials behind an answer as first-class legal work product, not just links in a chat.

The team has put documents, case law, legislation and spreadsheets into one shared source model, so an answer can carry consistent citations, quoted passages, version details and relevant actions. Crucially, quoted text is checked against the underlying material before it is shown, with corrected excerpts and a path back to the source.

  • A unified document view opens the right source from citations, activity and proposed edits.
  • Quote highlighting and separate opinion views make longer cases easier to navigate.
  • Document tabs retain their place as lawyers move between sources.
  • The Word add-in now shares these source and edit experiences, and its Quick Actions become searchable, workflow-linked tools.

This matters to legal teams that need an AI answer to remain traceable, reviewable and usable across both browser and Word work.

So what For firms and in-house teams, this is a meaningful step toward answers that can be checked in context before they inform legal work.
