Legal tools for the AI your firm already uses
Dictena connects Lithuanian statutes and court practice to Claude, ChatGPT or any other MCP client. What comes back names the article or the numbered paragraph it came from, instead of paraphrasing it.
Checking status
Nothing is charged during the beta. The key is issued immediately and shown once.
How it works
Step one
Connect it once
The address and your key go into your assistant's settings. There is no new application to learn, because you keep working where you already work.
Step two
Ask in your own words
Put the question the way you would put it to a colleague. The assistant decides what to look for: the act, the practice, or both.
Step three
Get references, not a retelling
Each statement keeps its pinpoint: the article, the case number, the paragraph, and the date the data was last refreshed.
What a search box cannot do
A ruling is not one block of text. A system that cannot see its structure can only paraphrase it.
Read by structure
Acts break into chapters and articles, rulings into numbered paragraphs and the operative part. You read the paragraph, not an arbitrary slice of characters.
The citation graph
Both directions: what a ruling relies on, and what has relied on it since. That is where the question a search box cannot answer lives, which is how a provision is actually being read.
Still in force?
Whether an act or an article still applies, which consolidated version governs, and what changed. Checking it takes as long as asking.
Matter profiles
The question, the provisions and the documents stay tied to the matter they belong to. When new practice lands on a provision you follow, you hear about it.
What Dictena will not do
Court practice contains personal data. Some things are therefore absent here by design, and it is better to say so on the front page than in a policy nobody opens.
It does not search for people. Practice is served as the courts published it, their anonymisation included. There is no tool that accepts a person's name. You search by legal question, provision, court or date.
It does not tell you what the law means. It hands over sources and pinpoints. The reasoning stays with the lawyer, and so does the responsibility.
It does not keep your questions. The usage ledger records that a tool ran. It does not record what you asked.
What is covered today
This table reports the real state rather than the plan. A feed that stopped and a feed with nothing new look identical from outside, so every source carries its own date.

Data as of 2026-08-28 06:00:34 UTC
Lithuania is the first jurisdiction, not the only one. Every table and every tool carries jurisdiction and language from the first migration, so adding a country is a new source rather than a rebuilt system.

Questions
Does this replace Infolex or a system like it?
No. Those are full legal libraries with editorial staff and decades of archive behind them. Dictena is a different thing: tools your assistant can reach for, so it finds the provision, the practice, and the links between them itself. Most firms will use both.
Where does the data come from?
Statutes from e-TAR, practice from rulings the courts have published. Every source in the table above carries its own date and state. If a source goes quiet, the table says so.
Do my questions go anywhere?
The server records that a tool ran, and that is all. The text of the question is not stored. Your account and everything attached to it is deleted on request at hello@dictena.com.
When does it open?
The tool endpoint opens with the beta. Dictena has to earn its place in real work before it earns a launch, so the start is narrow and quiet on purpose. You can take a key now.
Where is the data held?
On a server in Germany. We store your email, your firm's name if you gave one, and usage counts.
When it opens
One message when the tools go live. No more than that.
