Qanooni

AI legal assistant built for lawyers, not against them

Dubai-based AI-native legal platform integrating into Outlook and Word for drafting, reviewing, and managing documents. Supports English and Arabic with enterprise-grade security.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Qanooni is betting that generative AI will transform Arabic-language legal work the same way it's beginning to transform English-language practice. The bilingual AI assistant integrating into Outlook and Word targets the daily workflows where lawyers spend their time.

At $2 million pre-seed, this is an early bet with significant upside. Arabic legal corpora are poorly digitized, existing English tools don't handle Arabic well, and Gulf regulatory complexity creates demand for intelligent assistance. The risk is that larger AI companies build Arabic legal capabilities as a feature rather than a product.
