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.

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard for enabling AI agents to access external tools. General-purpose AI tools such as Claude, as well as legal-specific solutions such as Harvey, do not have access to a reliable Omani legislation database, and therefore cannot be confidently trusted when it comes to matters specific to Omani law. Decree MCP allows you to power up your Claude and Harvey accounts by connecting them to Decree directly.

Decree MCP can also be used by organisations wishing to build their own custom-made AI solutions that require access to Omani legislation. For example, if an organisation in Oman wishes to build an in-house AI-powered compliance solution that maps obligations imposed by new Omani laws to specific departments, the in-house solution can link with Decree MCP to maintain continuous access to the latest legislation. This approach can also support greater compliance with data protection requirements, as Decree MCP provides only the legal information and leaves the organisation free to process that data without Decree’s involvement.

Decree MCP is currently experimental, and usage is rate-limited while we learn how legal teams put it to work in practice. Access is available to Decree members whose subscription bundle includes Lex AI.

If your subscription includes Lex AI, you can begin connecting Decree MCP to your AI tools today at https://mcp-lr.decree.om/.

Organise Your Workflow with Pinned Conversations

Managing multiple research threads is now easier than ever. Your conversation list is now divided into Pinned and Recent sections, so your high-priority projects stay front and center.

• Conversations Controls: We’ve added a simple “hold and press” gesture. Just long-press any conversation to pull up a menu of options to Rename, Delete, or Pin/Unpin your chats.
• Search Within Chats: No more endless scrolling. You can now use the search bar within your conversation history to instantly find specific topics or past advice.

Smart Notifications for Deep Research

Because our new agentic search performs deep synthesis of Omani legislation, complex answers can take a moment to generate. You no longer need to wait inside the app. Simply submit your query and switch to other tasks and Lex AI will send a push notification to your phone and allows you to receive notifications on the desktop as soon as your response is ready.

These updates are live for all users on both iOS and Android as well as the web version of Lex AI. Update your app on the App Store or Google Play Store to get started.

Pick up where you left off You can now access your previous chats at any time. Whether you’re returning to a complex query from yesterday or double-checking a summary from last week, your entire research history is now at your fingertips.

Organize and declutter To help you stay focused, we’ve added tools to customize your conversations list:

• Rename Chats: Give your conversations specific titles (e.g., “Labor Law Compliance” or “RD 53/2023 Analysis”) so you can find them instantly.

• Delete Conversations: Easily remove old threads to keep your research area clean and relevant.

These features are designed to make Lex AI not just a search tool, but a long-term partner in your legal workflow.

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.

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.

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:
