Frequently asked questions

Athar is an AI legal research assistant for the Arab world. You choose a jurisdiction, ask questions in Arabic or English, and get grounded answers with verified, numbered citations to that country's legislation, court judgments, and fatawa.

Athar retrieves relevant documents before it answers, allows the model to cite only what was retrieved, verifies every citation against the source corpus, and silently drops any reference that doesn't resolve. When the law doesn't support an answer, it says so rather than guessing.

No. Athar is a research and drafting tool, not a law firm, and it does not provide legal advice. It is built to make a practitioner faster and better-supported — you remain responsible for reviewing and exercising professional judgment over every output.

Yes. Athar is Arabic-first: retrieval and reranking are tuned for Arabic legal language, and citation strings are formatted the way practitioners write them in each jurisdiction. You can work in Arabic, English, or both.

Athar is built to span the Arab world — the Gulf (GCC), the Levant, Egypt, and the Maghreb. Egypt's corpus is live today, and we're onboarding the rest of the region jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Each one is held to the same standard: real primary sources and verified citations.

Within each jurisdiction, Athar reasons over the primary sources of that country's law: legislation (codes, laws, decrees, regulations), court judgments, and official fatawa — never a neighbouring system's law presented as your own.

Yes. With document grids you define the questions as columns and Athar answers them across a whole set of documents, returning a structured table where every cell links back to its source.
