What is it?
Mike is an open-source legal AI platform for working with contracts and other legal documents. Users can chat with documents and open matters, review files and apply suggested edits, and run reusable assistant and tabular-review workflows.
The project is split into a Next.js frontend, an Express backend, Supabase for authentication and Postgres, and Cloudflare R2-compatible object storage. A Docker Compose stack starts the whole environment locally, including Supabase, RustFS object storage, and local email capture. Language models can come from Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, or local models run through Ollama.
For legal research, Mike can verify citations and search US case law through CourtListener. A Microsoft Word task-pane add-in and optional Gmail and Google Calendar connections extend the workflow into everyday tools. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
