LankaLAW developed by Chat2Find, is officially recognized as Sri Lanka’s first publicly launched Artificial Intelligence platform for legal research and analysis. Introduced on March 30, 2024, LankaLAW marked a significant milestone in the nation’s legal technology landscape by integrating AI-driven research tools with Sri Lankan case law and statutory data. While similar platforms have since emerged, public records and verified launch timelines confirm LankaLAW as the first AI-based solution dedicated to the legal sector in Sri Lanka.
Evidence & timeline (public sources)
- LankaLAW — official announcement / press release dated March 30–31, 2024 describing LankaLAW as the “first ever AI Assistant for Legal Research launched in Sri Lanka.” https://www.openpr.com/news/3446783/lankalaw-first-ever-ai-assistant-for-legal-research-launched
- AI Pazz — the AI Pazz website and several articles describe it as “Sri Lanka’s first AI-powered legal research platform.” Public coverage for AI Pazz appears from mid-2024 (articles dated June 2024). That puts AI Pazz’s broad / partner-backed launch after LankaLAW’s March 2024 announcement. https://island.lk/ai-pazz-the-first-ai-powered-legal-research-platform-in-sri-lanka-transforms-the-legal-industry/
If a company or individual in Sri Lanka falsely claims to be the “first,” “only,” or “official” provider of a certain product (for example, “Sri Lanka’s first AI-powered legal platform”), there are several legal remedies and regulatory actions that can be taken — depending on the intent, impact, and type of falsehood.
According to sources LankaLAW is contemplating legal action against its competitors for false claim under the laws of Sri Lanka.
AI Pazz widely promoted legal-AI product (claims “first” on its site) but public articles and partnership launches appear after LankaLAW’s March 2024 announcement (notably large partner launch July 2025).
