Sorry Harvey! I Made a Free Open-Source Alternative to Your Overpriced Legal AI

The post introduces CaseCite, a free, open-source legal AI platform released under the Apache 2.0 license that handles cited legal research, document analysis, contract review and redlining, legal drafting, citation checks, and judge intelligence. It is self-hosted, runs on the user's own infrastructure, and supports the user's own AI models and API keys, with users paying only their own infrastructure and AI usage costs. The author acknowledges it is not yet as polished as Harvey's enterprise platform but says it covers a substantial portion of everyday legal workflows.
