Laws Change Every Day. AI Remembers Last Year. We Are Building the Fix
LexAtlas is a database of current law built for AI: connected in one step, with pricing anyone can read before they buy.
The law moves faster than the models
Legislation today changes at a pace that is hard to follow even for lawyers. New acts, amendments and new wordings come out every week. A rule that was correct in spring can be wrong by autumn.
Large language models do not keep up. Each of them learns from a snapshot of the world taken months before release, so even the newest model is behind on the law the day it ships. Worse, when a model does not know, it rarely says so. It continues the text plausibly, and this is how AI hallucinations happen in law: it names an article that does not exist, quotes a paragraph the article never had, or relies on a provision that was amended long ago.
In anything that touches law, this is not a cosmetic flaw. One invented citation destroys trust in everything around it. A better prompt does not fix it. The fix is the law itself: current, verified and in a form a machine can use.
Why this data is hard to get
When we went looking for such data, we found surprisingly little to buy. Legal databases exist, but most of them were built for people reading on a screen, not for software. In our experience, access usually means a sales call, a negotiation and a contract sized for a large enterprise. The price is often not published, and you learn it only after that conversation.
That leaves a team building an AI product with two poor options: collect and check legal texts by hand, or give up. We think there should be a third.
What LexAtlas is
LexAtlas is a database of current legislation, built for machines first. Today it holds more than 5 million articles of legal acts: 14 national and supranational jurisdictions in full text, plus Russian regional law. It grows every week.
Three principles define it.
Current law. We track amendments as they are published, several times a day, so the text an AI receives keeps up with published amendments. For a growing set of acts, it can also ask for the wording that was in force on a specific date.
One step to connect. An AI assistant connects to the LexAtlas MCP server with one address and a sign-in. No integration project, no waiting for a contract. The assistant asks for a provision and receives the text of the law instead of a guess from memory. It can also check the citations in its answer against the base, and those that cannot be found are flagged.
Transparent, democratic pricing. Prices are published: you top up a balance and pay per request. Getting started does not require a sales call, and the price does not depend on the size of your company. A solo developer and a bank see the same page. We believe access to the law should not be a privilege of the largest players.
Why we bet on data, not models
Models are replaced every few months, and any of them can slip on a reference. Data is different: it can be verified, extended and tied to a date. We chose to invest in what survives a change of model.
To be precise about the limits: a data layer removes references that do not exist and texts that are no longer in force. It does not decide whether a rule applies to a particular situation. That judgment stays with the product and with the professional who answers for it. LexAtlas provides sources, not legal advice.
Where we are heading
We are on the way to full coverage of the world's law, adding it country by country. And we are starting where others are not. In our observation, the large legal AI platforms concentrate on the US, the UK and the EU, while the law of Russia and the other CIS countries is barely represented in them, and the same is true for most of Africa. That is where a database built for machines is needed most, and that is where we go first: Russia and the CIS today, African jurisdictions next.
If your product touches law, contracts, compliance, tax or employment, you no longer have to choose between trusting a model's memory and building a legal library yourself.
Legal AI will only be as trustworthy as the data under it. We intend to make that data current, complete and open to everyone on the same terms.
