Legal professionals operating across APAC confront a fragmented regulatory landscape that traditional compliance approaches struggle to address effectively.
For example, there are 10 distinct national legal systems operating under one regional umbrella. Cross-border data transfers face complex privacy and security regulations, requiring specialised frameworks like ASEAN Model Contractual Clauses to ensure compliance across jurisdictions. In Japan, heightened transparency and reporting obligations are driven by globalisation and BEPS initiatives, creating new documentation and disclosure requirements for foreign entities.
Throw in legal documentation that spans multiple languages with technical terminology that lacks direct translations, and legal professionals are faced with interpretation risks that can lead to compliance failures.
These markets demand solutions built with deep regional understanding, and that’s where Gani.AI comes in. According to the company, traditional legal AI tools often fail in these diverse regions due to language barriers and jurisdictional nuances.
Gani.AI offers a fresh approach: AI designed specifically for the fast-growing economies of APAC, which account for 60 per cent of global growth.
According to Bintang Hidayanto, co-founder and CEO, the founders see Gani.AI going beyond translation—it was built to understand local legal frameworks and complexities. Timur Nugroho, Gani.AI’s other co-founder and chief product officer, said that they use a combination of Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with its tool. With specific RAG models, augmented by LLMs for natural language engagement, the founders believe that they have found a way to help the legal sector in Asia.

Rapid growth and new features
Since its launch in March 2025, Gani.AI has scaled to over 1,000 users in just 14 weeks. These include major law firms, multinational corporations and government entities in Jakarta, Tokyo and Singapore. “The type of customers reaching out to us usually has a team of five legal professional or smaller,” Nugroho shared.
Gani.AI also introduced PartnerConnect, a feature that links users to vetted networks of legal experts, tax advisors, compliance professionals, and translators across supported regions. Unlike traditional marketplaces, PartnerConnect intelligently matches users with the right professionals based on their specific needs, creating a win-win ecosystem for legal and tech experts alike.
