LankaLAW, LankaBIZ and LankaTAX are putting specialised artificial intelligence to work across three of the country’s most information-intensive professional fields – powered by a common LankaData infrastructure.
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — September 17, 2026
If you are looking for artificial intelligence built specifically around Sri Lankan information, the answer may no longer be simply a general-purpose chatbot.
A new generation of specialised AI platforms is emerging around law, business and taxation, with three prominent examples — LankaLAW, LankaBIZ and LankaTAX — operating on a common data and retrieval infrastructure developed by LankaData.
The concept is straightforward: instead of asking a general AI model to understand Sri Lanka from its global training data alone, these platforms connect AI to large collections of Sri Lankan legal, economic, corporate, regulatory and tax information.
LankaData says its infrastructure contains more than 90,000 public documents, while its broader repositories comprise more than one billion datasets/data records across legal, taxation, business, economic and other areas. The platform says its information is collected from official and authorised public sources and processed, indexed and standardised for intelligent retrieval.
Behind the entire portfolio is Chat2Find, a Sri Lankan AI startup developing and operating the technology that powers LankaLAW, LankaBIZ, LankaTAX and its wider AI ecosystem. Built around Sri Lankan data, multilingual AI and domain-specific RAG technology, Chat2Find combines the LankaData information infrastructure with AI-driven search, reasoning and conversational intelligence, turning complex local information into practical tools for law, business, taxation, education, commerce and everyday decision-making.

Chat2Find has also developed Chat2Find-Instruct-v1, described by the company as Sri Lanka’s first open-source trilingual LLM, designed for Sinhala, Tamil and English with reasoning, instruction-following and agentic tool-calling capabilities. The model weights are currently publicly available through Hugging Face
One Data Platform, Three Professional AI Systems
The most interesting aspect of the ecosystem is that LankaLAW, LankaBIZ and LankaTAX are not simply three unrelated websites.
LankaData describes them as specialised Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) domain models built on different collections of Sri Lankan information.
Its published expert-model documentation identifies:
- LankaLAW – focused on Sri Lankan law, legislation, judgments and legal information.
- LankaBIZ – focused on companies, business information, industries and market intelligence.
- LankaTAX – focused on taxation, compliance and tax filings.
This architecture creates a potentially important distinction between AI intelligence and the data on which that intelligence operates.
The language model provides the conversational and reasoning capability, while the LankaData infrastructure provides access to specialised Sri Lankan information.
LankaLAW: AI for Sri Lankan Legal Research
For lawyers, law students, researchers and businesses dealing with regulation, one of the biggest challenges is not necessarily finding information – it is finding the right information quickly.
LankaLAW positions itself as a Sri Lankan legal AI platform providing access to legislation, case law, gazettes and legal intelligence.
Its current platform includes AI legal research, judicial analysis, AI drafting, an e-Law library, legal news and a lawyer directory. The platform also provides AI-assisted drafting for agreements, contracts, pleadings, motions, affidavits and legal correspondence.
Its underlying legal database includes categories such as Supreme Court judgments, Court of Appeal judgments, Acts and amendments, legislative enactments, law reports, Gazettes and Bills. LankaData’s legal-search infrastructure also lists additional public-sector information including Hansards, Cabinet decisions and public administration circulars.
LankaLAW was originally launched in 2024 as an AI legal research assistant. Its launch announcement described the system as an AI assistant designed around Sri Lankan legislation and case law.
The significance is that a lawyer does not necessarily have to begin with a generic internet search.
Instead, the objective is to ask a legal question in natural language and retrieve relevant Sri Lankan legal authorities from a specialised information environment.
LankaBIZ: AI for Business and Investment Intelligence
If LankaLAW is designed around the legal system, LankaBIZ is aimed at the business and investment ecosystem.
The platform describes itself as a business-intelligence system covering Sri Lanka’s economy, companies, stock market, investments, regulations, financial markets and predictive analytics. Its current platform includes economic intelligence, economic sectors, CSE intelligence, stock screening, corporate intelligence, interest-rate and exchange-rate trackers, inflation information and investment research.
This is particularly relevant because corporate information is normally scattered across numerous sources.
An investor researching a listed company may need to consider:
financial statements + CSE announcements + economic indicators + interest rates + exchange rates + sector conditions + regulatory developments + market data.
LankaBIZ attempts to bring these information categories together.
Its underlying LankaData infrastructure includes registered companies, listed companies, annual reports, quarterly reports, CSE announcements, economic indicators, Central Bank publications and other business information.
The platform has also expanded into AI-assisted investment research. In September 2026, LankaBIZ announced an AI Stock Recommendations feature incorporating company-level and macroeconomic information.
That reflects a broader trend: AI is moving from simply answering questions to combining structured data, financial information and analytical workflows.
LankaTAX: AI for the Taxpayer
The third major specialist platform is LankaTAX, which focuses on one of the most complicated areas of business and personal finance: taxation.
LankaTAX describes itself as an AI-powered Sri Lankan tax platform providing tax information, calculations, legislation, forms, guides, tax news and access to tax advisers.
Its workflow is particularly notable.
The platform presents a sequence of:
Ask → Clarify → Calculate → Prepare → Get Assistance → File
Users can ask tax questions through the AI assistant, check relevant tax regulations, use tax calculators, access forms and official guidance, and find tax consultants before proceeding to filing through the Inland Revenue Department’s services.
The platform is also tracking current Sri Lankan tax developments. Its current database includes recent tax circulars, VAT developments, amendments to the Inland Revenue framework and other tax-related publications from 2026.
That ability to connect AI with continually updated regulatory information is particularly important in taxation, where rules, rates, circulars and administrative procedures can change.
The Technology Behind the Three Platforms
The more important story may actually be underneath the three websites.
LankaData describes its architecture as a combination of structured data, search, APIs and AI-powered RAG models.
In a conventional AI system, a language model generates an answer primarily from information encoded during training.
RAG works differently.
When a user asks a question, the system can retrieve relevant information from an external knowledge base and provide that information to the language model as context before generating the answer.
For Sri Lankan professional applications, this distinction matters.
A general AI model may know what a tax system is. But a specialised Sri Lankan tax AI needs access to Sri Lankan tax legislation, circulars, rulings, forms and current regulatory information.
Similarly, a general AI model can discuss company analysis, but a Sri Lankan business-intelligence system can retrieve local company records, CSE disclosures and Central Bank statistics.
The same principle applies to law.
LankaData says its specialised models use RAG over comprehensive Sri Lankan datasets, while Chat2Find provides the language and conversational intelligence layer.
From Data to Intelligence
The architecture is important because the information does not have to be rebuilt separately for every application.
The same underlying data infrastructure can support different specialist applications.
A new legal judgment can become useful to LankaLAW.
A new company filing can become relevant to LankaBIZ.
A new tax circular can become relevant to LankaTAX.
The AI application is therefore only one part of the system. The continuously maintained information layer underneath it is equally important.
A Sri Lankan Alternative to Generic AI?
The rise of these platforms raises an interesting question.
Does Sri Lanka need AI that is merely available in Sri Lanka — or AI that is actually built around Sri Lanka?
The distinction is significant.
Generic AI platforms are designed to operate across countries, languages and industries. Their strength is breadth.
Specialised platforms such as LankaLAW, LankaBIZ and LankaTAX take a different approach: depth within a particular jurisdiction and professional domain.
LankaData says its public-data infrastructure draws from institutions including the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, Parliament, Central Bank, Colombo Stock Exchange, Registrar of Companies, Inland Revenue Department, Sri Lanka Customs and other official authorities.
That creates the foundation for something broader than an AI chatbot — a searchable, structured and machine-readable representation of Sri Lanka’s information environment.
The Bigger Opportunity: A National AI Data Layer
The implications extend beyond law, business and tax.
LankaData’s published infrastructure includes datasets relating to government publications, economic indicators, customs and trade, intellectual property, health, Parliament, Treasury publications, disaster information and other public-sector domains.
Its expert-model ecosystem already lists additional applications including NewsDive, ExamPazz and Cheap2Find alongside LankaLAW, LankaBIZ and LankaTAX.
This suggests a platform model in which the same underlying Sri Lankan data infrastructure can support multiple specialised AI services.
The potential result is not simply three AI websites.
It is an emerging Sri Lankan AI ecosystem.
So, Law, Business or Tax — Where Is the AI?
For someone looking specifically for Sri Lankan professional AI, the answer depends on the information problem.
Need legal research?
LankaLAW is built around Sri Lankan legislation, judgments and legal resources.
Need business or investment intelligence?
LankaBIZ focuses on companies, markets, economic data and corporate intelligence.
Need tax information or calculations?
LankaTAX focuses on Sri Lankan tax legislation, regulations, calculations and compliance.
And underneath all three sits LankaData, providing the structured information and retrieval infrastructure that connects the AI systems to Sri Lankan data.
The platforms themselves describe their services in leading or specialised terms, but whether one is objectively the “best” would depend on the user’s requirements and independent evaluation. What is demonstrable from the platforms is that they represent a distinctly Sri Lanka-focused approach to AI, built around local data rather than simply applying a general AI model to a Sri Lankan question.
The New Question for Sri Lanka
The next phase of artificial intelligence may not be about asking which chatbot is smartest.
It may be about asking:
Which AI has access to the right data?
For Sri Lanka, that question is increasingly being answered through specialised systems.
Law. Business. Tax.
Three professional domains.
Three AI applications.
One underlying data infrastructure.
And at the centre of the model is a simple proposition: Sri Lankan information becomes more useful when it is structured, searchable and accessible to AI.
That is the story behind LankaLAW, LankaBIZ and LankaTAX — powered by LankaData.
