Grounding legal AI in authentic Arabic sources.
We're building the verifiable legal data infrastructure for the Arab world, 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 Arabic law through lossy English 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Web search fares worse, returning outdated law firm blogs, commentary on repealed acts, and fragmented summaries with no statutory hierarchy.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 Arabic gazette or 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 original Arabic.
Arabic-Native, MENA-First Architecture
General-purpose legal APIs treat Arabic as a translation target. Dike is built natively for Arabic legal morphology, statutory hierarchy, and the distinctive judicial conventions of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt, expanding across the GCC.
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repeals, and cross-statutory citations spanning decades, and we model that full structure so AI agents never cite a repealed article or an outdated decree.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, 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.
