The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
Mike is an open-source legal AI platform positioned as a free alternative to commercial tools like Harvey and Legora. It offers a chat-based assistant that reads documents, cites sources verbatim, runs multi-step workflows, and drafts/edits contracts. The platform supports project-scoped workspaces for legal matters and allows users to plug in their own AI model keys (Claude, Gemini) for full control. It is self-hostable, giving law firms ownership and extensibility of the codebase without enterprise contracts.
