The secret to powerful and effective AI prompts

What is a prompt?

A prompt is a question you pose to a legal AI assistant that guides it towards the specific information or assistance you require. The clarity and precision of your prompt directly influence the AI’s ability to understand your needs and deliver accurate, tailored answers.

Why you need powerful prompts?

The more vague a prompt is, the more likely you’ll receive a vague or irrelevant response. Likewise, the more specific you can be, the more relevance and accuracy you can expect in return. This ultimately saves you more time in the long run, as you can extract the optimal answer quickly.

LawY, as an AI assistant purpose-built for lawyers, is uniquely built to interpret and respond to legal queries. We encourage using the CLEAR framework to create powerful prompts that will help you get the most out of LawY.
