Introducing: Decree Graph

We are launching today Decree Graph—a new feature on Decree that shows the status of every law, royal decree, and ministerial decision on Decree and how it connects to other legislation.

Using the Decree Graph, you can now easily determine if the legislation you are currently reading is repealed or valid, and quickly locate regulations issued pursuant to the legislation in question.

When viewing any legislation page on Decree, a status label will now be displayed on the Ask Lex button located in the corner of the page. Clicking this label opens the new Graph tab, which explains the status of the item, provides a link to the consolidated version of the law where one is available, and lists all the connections of the item. Decree Graph is also available on Arabic Decree and in the document menu of the Decree app on iOS and Android.

Decree Graph is available to Decree members whose subscription bundle includes Lex AI. You can try it by logging into Decree and viewing any law, such as the Personal Data Protection Law.

Update to Decree MCP

When we introduced Decree MCP in May, it let you connect Claude and other AI tools to Decree’s English legislation database, so that the answers you got were grounded in real Omani law rather than the model’s guesswork. Today we’re releasing its successor, and it is a considerable step up.

Lex AI Update: Bilingual Search and More

Today we are releasing a major update to Lex AI, which can now answer your questions from both our Arabic and English databases.

Previously, Lex AI was limited to the English translations available on Decree. That gave precise answers for matters with a translated text, but it left a gap for legislation that existed only in Arabic.

The latest version closes that gap. Lex AI now searches both databases using semantic and keyword search, irrespective of the document’s language. It can also draw on the non-legislative Arabic content in our database, such as the fatwas of the Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs.

A restructuring of our database also allows Lex AI to navigate the different versions of a legal document in both languages with confidence. Lex AI now understands how legal instruments relate to one another, which gives it a deeper grasp of the law and lets it handle more sophisticated questions.

We have also upgraded the reasoning and reranking models, which further improve the quality of the answers.

These updates are live for all users on the web, iOS, and Android.

If your current bundle does not include Lex AI, or if you are not yet a member of Decree, you can request a free trial by contacting us here.

Introducing: Decree MCP

Today we’re introducing Decree MCP, a new way to access Decree’s comprehensive and up-to-date Omani legislation database using third-party AI tools. While we believe that Lex AI is the most effective AI solution for conducting Omani legal research, our users might use other solutions for contract review, compliance, or general legal drafting — such as Claude, Harvey, or any custom-made in-house agentic tool. Decree MCP lets you use the AI tools of your choice and augment their capability by providing agentic access to Decree.

Automating Debt Recovery with Decree Risk API

Under Omani law, when a company liquidates, creditors have exactly six months from the Official Gazette announcement to file a claim for unpaid dues. Similarly, during a corporate merger or acquisition, an absorbed company is formally dissolved, and creditors have a strict, short window (as little as 30 days) to formally object if their outstanding debts are at risk. Miss these critical legal windows, and your right to recover those funds is permanently lost.
