zgbrenner renames Mike to Gary and points it at American lawyers
A UK-flavoured legal-AI tool gets rewritten for U.S. practice and an easier setup.
zgbrenner has taken the open-source Mike codebase, rebranded it as "Gary," and repositioned it as a simplified, U.S.-focused fork - explicitly aimed at making self-hostable legal AI easier for American lawyers to install, configure, and run. The original credit to Mike's author stays, as does the bring-your-own-key model where you supply your own AI provider.
The real work goes beyond a new name. The fork swaps UK and Commonwealth legal terminology for American equivalents, reworks the signup, login, and account screens and the built-in workflows, and ships a U.S. terminology map, a setup guide written for solo practitioners, and a legal disclaimer. It's framed as a starting point - the first step in a broader Americanization pass.
