zgbrenner turns Mike into Gary, and makes it look the part
A top-to-bottom rebrand that recasts a renamed clone as a deliberate product for U.S. lawyers.
zgbrenner has finished the work of turning the upstream Mike codebase into something called Gary - and crucially, says explicitly that no new features came with it. This is pure identity: the app's name throughout the interface, the way the built-in AI introduces itself, the author label stamped on tracked changes in exported documents, and the social-preview cards that show up when someone shares a link all now say Gary, positioned as "open-source legal AI for U.S. lawyers."
What stands out is the restraint. The AI's self-description and the public-facing copy deliberately avoid accuracy guarantees and note the tool isn't bar-compliant - a careful posture you don't always see in legal-AI branding. zgbrenner also added an automated check that flags any leftover traces of the old name, so the rebrand stays clean over time.
