OSS Legal AI Platform

What it solves

Mike is an open-source legal AI platform designed to streamline the tedious parts of legal work, such as document review, drafting, and legal research, by integrating AI assistants into the legal professional's workflow.

How it works

The platform uses a full-stack architecture combining a Next.js frontend and an Express backend. It integrates with various LLMs (via Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, or locally via Ollama) to process legal documents. It features a document library for organization and integrates with CourtListener for US case law research and citation verification.

Who it’s for

Legal professionals who need an AI-powered tool for reviewing documents, drafting legal texts, and conducting research while maintaining control over their infrastructure through open-source software.

Highlights

  • Legal-specific AI tools: Chat with legal documents, apply suggested edits, and run specialized legal workflows.
  • Microsoft Word Integration: A beta task-pane add-in allows users to work directly within Word.
  • Local LLM Support: Ability to run supported models locally using Ollama for privacy or cost reasons.
  • Case Law Research: Built-in integration with CourtListener for verifying citations and researching US case law.
  • Infrastructure Flexibility: Can be deployed via Docker Compose with bundled Supabase and object storage.
