Customization & Extensibility

Customization & Extensibility

The Lawless system is not a closed, static product. It is an open, extensible architecture designed to adapt to the unique needs, workflows, and security postures of your firm. The OpenWebUI foundation provides a powerful set of tools that allow you to move beyond using the system as-is and begin to shape it into a bespoke analytical asset.

This chapter details the three primary avenues for customization and extension: configuring the underlying AI models, integrating the system with external tools through MCPs, and fine-tuning the system's knowledge base for highly specialized practice areas. These capabilities ensure that the Lawless architecture can evolve alongside your practice and the broader technological landscape.

Model Configuration: Swapping and Managing LLMs (API & Local)

A core principle of the Lawless architecture is model agnosticism. Your firm is never locked into a single AI provider or technology. You retain complete control over the "engine" that powers the analytical agents. This provides critical flexibility in managing performance, cost, and data security.
