CaseMark rebuilds Mike as a Case.dev reference implementation, in the open

CaseMark took Mike and rewired its plumbing around Case.dev, a hosted platform that supplies the building blocks of a legal workspace: a document vault, matter records, reusable skills, legal research, and a gateway to the AI models. Authentication, storage, and the data model were all reworked to sit on top of those primitives, and the team added a metered demo mode so anonymous users can trial the hosted instance on a shared, budgeted key.

Just before going public, CaseMark ran a hardening pass that fixed the things you'd want fixed before launch: download links now expire, login routes are rate-limited against brute force, webhooks must be signed, and provider API keys moved out of plaintext into encrypted storage. The honest catch, which the team flags itself: this is deeply tied to Case.dev, with no easy way to swap those pieces out.
