Selecting Prompts or Question Sets

Once you’ve selected your documents and chosen how Lexlegis should work with them (Interact or Search), the next step is to define what kind of analysis Lexlegis should perform.

You can do this by selecting:

• a Prompt
• a Question Set
• or by writing custom instructions

This step determines how Lexlegis reads your documents and what kind of output it generates.

1. What Are Prompts?

Prompts are single, focused instructions that tell Lexlegis how to analyse your documents.

They act as structured guidance for the system, ensuring the analysis follows a specific legal objective.

1.1. What Prompts Are Used For

Prompts are commonly used for:

• Clause summarisation
• Risk assessment
• Timeline or obligation extraction
• High-level document analysis

Each prompt is designed to produce a specific and consistent type of output.

1.2. Use Prompts When You Want To

Use Prompts when you want to:

• Analyse documents in a particular way
• Run focused, single-purpose analysis
• Get consistent outputs across multiple documents

Lexlegis provides curated prompt libraries (such as LL Prompts) that are optimised for common legal use cases and help you get started quickly.

1.3 Creating a New Prompt

You can create a new Prompt by clicking the Add Prompt (+) option.

When creating a Prompt, you can:

• Choose an existing folder to store the prompt
• Add a title and optional description
• Write the prompt instruction that defines how documents should be analysed
• Add tags for easier reuse and discovery

Important:
You can only add Prompts to existing folders from this screen.
To create or reorganise Prompt folders, go to the Library.

Once saved, the Prompt becomes immediately available across Ask, Interact, and Draft (where applicable).

2. What Are Question Sets?

Question Sets are groups of related questions that Lexlegis applies across your selected documents in one run.

Instead of giving a single instruction, Question Sets allow Lexlegis to perform structured, multi-question analysis.

2.1. What Question Sets Are Used For

Question Sets are ideal for:

• Due diligence reviews
• Contract or agreement reviews
• Case preparation workflows

Examples include Rental Agreement Question Sets or Service Level Agreement (SLA) Question Sets.

2.2. Use Question Sets When You Want To

Use Question Sets when you want to:

• Ask multiple predefined questions together
• Perform comprehensive document reviews
• Maintain consistency across similar documents

Each Question Set shows how many questions it contains, helping you understand the scope of analysis before running it.

4.2 Creating a New Question Set

You can also create a new Question Set by clicking the Add Question Set (+) option.

When creating a Question Set, you can:

• Select an existing folder
• Provide a title and optional description
• Add multiple questions, each on a new line
• Tag the Question Set for structured reuse

Question Sets are especially useful for repeatable workflows such as:

• Due diligence reviews
• Contract audits
• Standardised document reviews

Note:
As with Prompts, folders cannot be created or edited from this screen. Folder management is handled in the Library.

3. Customising Your Own Instructions

If the available Prompts or Question Sets don’t match your needs, you can write custom instructions in the input box provided.

Custom instructions allow you to:

• Define exactly what Lexlegis should analyse
• Control the depth and structure of the response
• Handle specialised or one-off legal requirements

This option is especially useful for unique workflows or highly specific legal questions.

4. Choosing Between Prompts and Question Sets

You can select either a Prompt or a Question Set, not both at the same time.

5. Best Practices

• Use Prompts for focused, repeatable analysis
• Use Question Sets for structured, multi-question reviews
• Write custom instructions for specialised or unique use cases
• Start with built-in prompts if you’re unsure where to begin

6. What Happens Next

After defining what Lexlegis should extract using a Prompt, Question Set, or custom instructions, the next step is to choose how those documents should be analysed.
