## What it is
Mike is an open-source, self-hostable legal AI platform combining a Next.js frontend and Express backend for document review, drafting, and legal research. It offers a citation-grounded chat assistant, tabular review across document sets, reusable workflows, US case-law research via CourtListener, a Microsoft Word add-in, and local model support through Ollama.

## Use cases
- review and redline contracts with AI assistance
- extract structured data from hundreds of legal documents in a spreadsheet-style review
- chat with a matter's documents with grounded citations
- verify citations and research US case law
- generate diligence checklists from credit agreements
- self-host a legal AI assistant without vendor lock-in
- run legal AI workflows on local models via Ollama

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, inspectable legal AI platform for a firm or legal team
- you want citation-verifiable document review and tabular extraction
- you want to avoid per-seat costs of commercial legal AI vendors
- you need Word integration and case-law research in one tool

## When to avoid
- you need a turnkey managed SaaS with vendor support and compliance certifications
- you need non-US legal research or non-English document workflows
- you lack the infrastructure to run Docker, Supabase, and object storage yourself
- you need a lightweight library to embed in another app rather than a full platform
