MAIK by METHODIGY is an AI-powered legal knowledge management platform designed for law firms, legal departments, and courts, with a primary focus on German-speaking markets. 

Key Features & Functions:

Generative AI Chatbot
The MAIK chatbot processes natural language queries and generates legal texts, including briefs, contracts, and opinions, based on a firm's existing case file documents. Each output includes citations and back-links to the source documents used, supporting verifiability of generated content.

Semantic Search Engine
An AI-based semantic search engine that indexes a firm's documents and retrieves the most relevant clauses and brief passages in response to queries. The index is built and maintained locally within the firm's network; documents are not duplicated or transferred externally.

Document Structuring Tool
A tool for organizing file information according to legal relational methods, including the mapping of claims, counter-claims, and factual relationships across multiple documents. Users can select text passages, arrange them via drag-and-drop, and link related content to support the drafting process.

RAG Architecture
MAIK uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation, combining the semantic search retrieval component with a generative language model. Local context retrieved by the search engine is passed to the language model to ground outputs in verified, firm-specific information.

Document Management and Integration
The platform integrates with existing electronic case file systems and practice management software. It supports OCR text recognition for scanned documents, full-text search, tags, filters, and Word export. The system functions as a client-server application compatible with macOS and Windows.

Collaboration
Multiple users can work on case files simultaneously, sharing structured content and document annotations across teams.
