Zalari is an early research preview built around Southern African law-report material. Ask a question, inspect potentially relevant judgments, and test what the sources actually support. Drafting is experimental, while team workspaces and private deployments can be configured with us.

Legal Research

Ask a question in plain language, find potentially relevant cases in the preview, and read the underlying judgments before relying on them.

Experimental drafting

Try possible structures and language for opinions, submissions, or clauses. These drafts are experiments, not production-ready legal documents.

Document review direction

We are developing ways to compare documents and trace findings back to their source. Ask the team which review tools are available for your setup.

Team workspaces

Team workspaces are available. Scope access and data handling with us before using one for confidential matters.

Citation checks

Open cited judgments and check that each passage supports the proposition, in the right court and legal context.

Configured workflows

Discuss repeatable research and review steps for your team; the exact workflow is configured for the deployment.

What case law can I research in Zalari?

The preview is being developed around Zimbabwean, South African, and Zimbabwe Labour Court reports. Check the courts, years, and documents available in the app for your question; do not treat an empty result as proof that no authority exists.

How do Zalari's cited answers work?

Ask a question in ordinary language and use any retrieved judgments or cited answer as a starting point. Open the original text and check that the court, passage, and proposition fit your matter.

Can Zalari help draft legal documents?

Drafting is experimental in the early preview. You can explore possible structures or wording, but the output is not dependable for production legal work and must not be sent or filed as it stands.

How is Zalari different from ZimLii or a general AI assistant?

ZimLii is a valuable public source of judgments. Zalari is an early preview exploring question-led retrieval against selected law-report material. Whatever tool you use, inspect the original judgment before relying on a legal proposition.

Can I rely on Zalari without checking the original judgment?

No. Read the cited passage in context, confirm the authority is current and applicable, and make your own legal assessment. The preview can miss material, and its drafting is experimental.

“From legal question to source.”

The preview is designed to widen the first search and keep the underlying judgment within reach. Counsel decides what the source means and what the work can responsibly say.
