open-legal-products rebuilds Mike's AI engine room

Mike is moving its model connections onto one shared foundation, while making editing feel more consistent wherever lawyers use the product.

The team has replaced the backend's mix of route-by-route AI connections with the Vercel AI SDK, a common layer for working with different language-model providers. The aim is a more consistent way to connect models across Mike, rather than maintaining separate integrations in individual product flows.

The release also brings the web product and Word add-in closer together: edit actions and their loading states now behave consistently in both places. Citation markers have been simplified too, with a cleaner appearance and a clear blue active state.

The change was tested across the backend, web product and Word add-in.

So what Legal teams evaluating Mike should care because a steadier AI foundation and consistent editing experience reduce friction as the product evolves.
