We are announcing today a major expansion of the liquidations database on Decree Risk. We have gone back through the Official Gazette and built out the database to include every liquidation announcement published since February 2013.

We’ve just released version 3.0 of the Decree iOS app, a complete redesign of the app and the first version built for iPad.

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.

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.

Since launching Lex AI as your dedicated Omani legal research assistant, we have continually looked for ways to make your research faster, smarter, and more intuitive. Today, we are thrilled to announce a major update to Lex AI, introducing fully agentic capabilities, significantly enhanced output, and robust conversation management tools.

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.

We are releasing today the Decree mobile app, a major new expansion of Decree’s platform that allows Decree members to bring the full power of Lex AI with them wherever they go.

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.
