Standard LLMs confidently invent citations. Athar runs your questions through a custom, jurisdiction-aware legal database, delivering precise summaries backed by verified legislative links.
Traditional AI models are trained on unstructured crawl data, making them highly susceptible to hallucinating GCC company laws, royal decrees, and cassation references. They confidently output logical-sounding text backed by non-existent article numbers.
Athar maps your query directly to an authoritative database containing parsed official gazettes. We run every generated answer through a structural validation pipeline, silently dropping any references that cannot be proven.
A breakdown of how Athar processes, verifies, and outputs legal answers.
Athar parses your query in Arabic or English, performing semantic expansion to capture regional legal jargon (e.g., matching 'شبهة جنائية' or 'مسؤولية تقصيرية' to the exact statutory synonyms used across different GCC countries).
Our search algorithms retrieve candidate articles and judicial precedents from our secure Middle East legislation vault, indexing federal codes, company laws, and historical Cassation Court judgments.
Before generating a response, the retrieval pipeline cross-verifies every citation against official sources. If an LLM-suggested reference cannot be mapped to a real, openable legislative page, it is dropped entirely.
The assistant synthesizes a precise legal summary citing only the verified reference numbers. Click any inline citation to view the corresponding gazette page side-by-side.
