Help with… Help → Writing effective prompts
Writing effective prompts includes formatting the prompt correctly, leveraging answer types and using the preview answer feature to ensure your prompt gives you the most effective output.
- Tailor for Clarity: Phrase your questions as if explaining to a slightly less experienced professional for maximum clarity.
- Be Specific: Ensure your questions are precise. Vague questions may not yield the answers you’re looking for.
- Simplify Complex Queries: Break down questions with many components into individual ones.
- Instead of "What are the renewal terms?".
- Try: "Does the contract include automatic renewal?" (Yes/No).
- Follow with: "What is the renewal period?" (Number - Duration).
- Add Context: Providing background or context can significantly enhance the relevance of the answers.
- Use Action-Oriented Language: Start your queries with action verbs like “summarize” “identify” or “write” to clarify the expected output.
- Leverage Templates: Break down your templates to account for unique legal language and contextual nuances.
- Leverage Answer Types: Choosing the right answer type ensures you receive outputs in the most helpful and actionable format.
- Using Answer Preview Feature: This allows you to test and refine your questions before running a complete report.
💡Pro Tip: When using Select or Multi-Select, provide clear criteria for each option to help the AI make accurate selections.
