We are releasing today Lex AI Spotlight, a major new feature to Decree’s artificial intelligence legal research assistant that allows Decree members to ask Lex AI questions about the specific item that they are already viewing.

For example, when a member views the Personal Income Tax Law, a new Ask Lex button will appear on the corner of the page. The user can use this command to ask questions about the Personal Income Tax Law without having to query Decree’s entire database. This process is usually faster and can provide more accurate answers when the user needs information from a single specific item.

When Lex AI Spotlight is unable to find the answer in the currently viewed item, the user will be advised to use the full version of Lex AI.

Lex AI and Lex AI Spotlight are available through a bundle subscription to Decree. They are available for free for all Decree members on all subscription plans for the whole of the month of September.

You can try Lex AI Spotlight on most pages on Decree, including the Personal Income Tax Law, the Penal Law, the Personal Data Protection Law, and many more.

Lex AI, Decree’s artificial intelligence legal research assistance, receives a major update today by upgrading to GPT-5, the new cutting-edge artificial intelligence model from OpenAI.

Lex AI generates its answers exclusively from Decree’s database of translated Omani legislation and case summaries while providing full citations and references for all answers generated. Using GPT-5, Lex AI now runs at a faster speed and provides significantly improved analysis of Decree’s content to answer user questions, summarise the law, and create compliance checklists.

Decree members with access to Lex AI can try the new and improved Lex AI on the link below:

We are launching today Decree Toolkits—a new feature on Decree for helping organisations improve their compliance operations by identifying key obligations imposed by Omani legislation.

The Oman Legal Citation Standard (OLCS) was first launched in 2016 as a guide for creating a standard format for citing Omani legal authorities in academic works and legal documents. The previous version of the OLCS only covered the rules for citing Omani legislation of all levels. We updated the OLCS to include new rules for citing Omani court judgments as well as Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs fatwas.

We are delighted to launch Lex AI—Decree’s artificial intelligence legal research assistant. This tool enables Decree members to use natural language to ask legal questions, generate summaries, create compliance checklists, and carry out a variety of other legal tasks.
