鈥淲riting prompts: A quick guide for lawyers using generative AI鈥�

Prompts are the instructions or queries that you provide to a generative AI system, guiding it to produce the desired output. On the surface, generative AI looks simple.  Give it an instruction and it will write you an answer.  However, as with many things in life, a little bit of knowledge can transform your ability to maximise value from generative AI.

AI, like you and me, needs direction.  It needs context and clarity.  In the context of legal practice, well-crafted prompts can empower AI tools like Lexis+ AI to draft high-quality legal clauses and client documents, conduct legal research, analyse contracts, and perform a wide range of tasks with remarkable accuracy and efficiency.

Think of it like this: if you gave that prompt to a mid-level associate, would they understand what you were asking them to do?  Have you given them the direction they need to complete the task?  AI is no different.
