Grounding legal AI in authentic MENA sources.
We're building the verifiable legal data infrastructure for the MENA region, connecting machine intelligence directly to primary statutory, regulatory, and judicial authority.
The translation gap & hallucination crisis
AI agents are already answering regulatory, corporate, and compliance questions across the Middle East. Yet almost every major model operates in an information vacuum: global legal APIs are built US-first, passing Middle Eastern law through lossy machine translation and discarding citation anchors.
Web search fares worse, returning outdated law firm blogs, commentary on repealed acts, and fragmented summaries with no statutory hierarchy. When an AI agent can't reach the official gazette or primary statute directly, it doesn't just stop. It hallucinates a plausible-sounding provision instead.
In legal applications, an invented statute or mistranslated article is not a minor imperfection; it is unacceptable risk. Dike solves this at the data layer.
How Dike approaches legal truth
Verifiable Primary Authority over Synthetic Guesses
AI models generate plausible language; courts and legal practitioners require verifiable statutory truth. Every response generated with Dike anchors directly to an official source ID, gazette publication date, and authentic statutory text in its authoritative source alongside verified bilingual translations.
MENA-Native, Bilingual Legal Truth
General-purpose legal APIs treat Middle Eastern law as a translation afterthought. Dike is built natively for MENA statutory morphology, civil and commercial codes, and common law free-zone jurisdictions (such as DIFC and ADGM), expanding across the GCC and broader MENA.
Topological & Temporal Graph Integrity
Law isn't static text. It's an evolving graph of amendments, repeals, and cross-statutory citations spanning decades, and we model that full structure so AI agents never cite a repealed article or an outdated decree.
Deterministic Grounding for AI Developers
We provide sub-millisecond REST endpoints, vector search indices, and structured citation anchors designed for seamless integration into RAG pipelines, autonomous agent tool calls, and LLM reasoning workflows.
Deep regional coverage at launch
Dike indexes primary legal authority across major MENA jurisdictions with full bilingual metadata and citation resolution:
Royal Decrees, Council of Ministers Decisions, Ministerial Regulations, Umm Al-Qura Official Gazette.
Federal Decrees, Cabinet Resolutions, Dubai & Abu Dhabi Local Legislation, DIFC/ADGM Common Law, Federal Supreme Court principles.
Primary Civil, Commercial & Penal Codes, Al-Jarida Al-Rasmiyya Official Gazette, Cassation & Supreme Court rulings.
Built on verifiable legal research
Our engineering is guided by empirical benchmarks across 1.44M+ legal documents. We extract topological citation graphs, measure statutory codification velocities, and publish open datasets on Hugging Face so the research community can verify and build upon our findings.
