Agentic Search Now ON Our iOS/Android App https://blog.decree.om/2026/agentic-search-now-on-our-ios-android-app/ Tue, 17 Mar 2026 07:20:55 +0000 https://blog.decree.om/?p=3777 To follow up on our recent web-based update of Lex AI, we are excited to bring these same powerful capabilities directly to your mobile device with the latest update of the Decree app for iOS and Android.

Building on the transition to a fully agentic search model that we recently launched on the web, this update fundamentally changes how Lex AI operates on mobile. It is no longer just about returning data quickly; it is about superior depth and reasoning. By shifting to an agentic model, the assistant now intelligently navigates Decree’s vast database of Omani legislation with a higher level of autonomy. This results in unprecedented precision when pinpointing exact legal provisions or case summaries. For complex, multi-layered queries, the system utilizes its deeper retrieval capacity to synthesize large volumes of information, providing the comprehensive context required for high-stakes legal work.

We have also introduced a mobile-specific shortcut to make your on-the-go research even more efficient. You can now retrieve specific legislation instantly by its identifier, simply ask Lex AI about any Royal Decree by its number (e.g., “Royal Decree 53/2023”) and the agentic engine will immediately locate and break down the specific decree for you.

This update ensures that whether you are at your desk or on the move, you have access to the same level of legal intelligence and reliable data retrieval you’ve come to expect from the new Lex AI.

These new agentic features have been updated directly on our backend, so you are not required to update your app to see these changes. However, if you haven’t downloaded the Decree app yet, you can do so now on the App Store or Google Play Store to take the next generation of Omani legal research with you wherever you go.

Lex AI Update https://blog.decree.om/2026/lex-ai-agentic-update/ Wed, 11 Mar 2026 03:52:11 +0000 https://blog.decree.om/?p=3765 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.

Powered by Advanced Agentic Search

The core of this update is Lex AI’s transition to a fully agentic search model, which fundamentally upgrades its ability to intelligently navigate and locate relevant information across Decree’s extensive database of Omani legislation. This agentic capability provides an extremely powerful research experience by offering unprecedented accuracy and a precise ability to pinpoint exact legal provisions and case summaries. It also features a deeper retrieval capacity to synthesize a larger volume of relevant information for complex queries, alongside highly accurate number and data retrieval to ensure you can trust the details in your legal research.

Seamless Conversation History

Legal research is rarely a single question and answer. To better support your workflow, we have added a comprehensive Conversation History feature. You can now easily pick up where you left off by going back to review previous chat conversations. Additionally, you can manage your workspace by renaming individual chats to quickly find specific research topics, and you can delete old conversations you no longer need.

Front Page Access

We have made Lex AI even easier to access. If your subscription includes Lex AI, the assistant will now appear directly on the front page of Decree. You can begin querying our legal database the moment you log in, without having to navigate to a separate page first.


These new features are currently available on the web-based version of Lex AI. They will be added to the mobile version very soon.

Lex AI is available as an add-on to your standard Decree subscription. We highly encourage Decree members to log in today and experience the power and precision of the new agentic search firsthand. If you do not currently have Lex AI on your plan but would like to explore how it can transform your workflow, we would be happy to set up a trial. Please find our contact details here to request a trial.

Automating Debt Recovery with Decree Risk API https://blog.decree.om/2026/automating-debt-recovery-with-decree-risk-api/ Sun, 22 Feb 2026 04:13:08 +0000 https://blog.decree.om/?p=3738 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.

Tracking these announcements manually through the Official Gazette and daily newspapers is tedious and leaves too much room for human error. The Decree API solves this by giving your software programmatic, real-time access to official Omani liquidation, merger, and dissolution announcements.

Who is this for?

The API is built for any organisation extending credit or services to Omani companies:

  • Banks & Lenders: Automatically cross-reference active commercial loans against daily “Liquidation Start” announcements to instantly alert your recovery team.
  • Utility Providers: Automatically flag corporate accounts entering dissolution to halt services and initiate immediate debt collection.
  • B2B Suppliers: Continuously monitor client lists for “Dissolution and Merger” announcements. If a client is being acquired and dissolved, your finance team gets an immediate heads-up to either transfer the debt to the new acquiring company or lodge a formal creditor objection before the statutory deadline expires.

Technical Highlights

The Decree API is a RESTful service designed for seamless integration:

  • Simple & Predictable: Uses standard X-API-Key authentication (1,000 requests/day limit) and returns clean JSON data.
  • Actionable Payloads: Whether it’s a “Liquidation Start” or “Dissolution and Merger” event, the API hands you exactly what you need to act: the company’s Commercial Registration (CR) number, names in English/Arabic, publication date, and contact info.
  • Secure by Design: To protect your highly confidential client lists, the best practice is to use the GET /announcements/recent endpoint to pull daily updates. This allows your system to cross-reference CR numbers locally, ensuring your customer data never leaves your internal network.

You can view the full documentation of Decree API with examples of use on our API page.

Decree API is a separate service from the subscription service of Decree. Use the link below to contact us if you are interested in learning more about this powerful service:

Introducing: Lex AI “Spotlight” https://blog.decree.om/2025/introducing-lex-ai-spotlight-feature/ Mon, 01 Sep 2025 03:45:17 +0000 https://blog.decree.om/?p=3368 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.

Introducing: Decree Toolkits https://blog.decree.om/2025/introducing-decree-toolkits/ Tue, 24 Jun 2025 05:45:11 +0000 https://blog.decree.om/?p=3184 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.

While Lex AI is capable of generating compliance checklists, Decree Toolkits goes beyond this by providing a curated collection of easy to use checklists that are reviewed and verified by our legal team. Each toolkit provides key information regarding the application of the item in question along with a breakdown of the key obligations imposed and a highlight of potential fines for failing to comply. Decree Toolkits are also downloadable in Excel and adopt a structure commonly used by compliance practitioners in Oman, which should allow our users to download our checklists and customize them to work with their workflows.

When a Toolkit is available for a specific item on Decree, a new Toolkit button will be displayed on the page of the law or regulation in question:

It is also possible to browse all available Toolkits on the main Decree Toolkits page and also look them up using the standard Decree search.

Decree Toolkits is available through a bundle subscription to Decree. It is available for free for all Decree members on all subscription plans until the end of the month of July.
