  • Does it understand the task correctly?
  • Is the output format what you expect?
  • Does it use your uploaded documents appropriately?
Adjust instructions based on test results. It often takes a few iterations to get things right.

Writing Effective Instructions

The quality of your instructions determines how well the assistant performs.
Instead of “Review contracts,” write “Review the uploaded contract and identify clauses related to termination, liability caps, and intellectual property assignment.”
Specify how you want results presented: “Create a table with columns for Clause Reference, Issue, Risk Level, and Recommendation.”
If the task involves judgment calls, include examples of how you want things categorized or evaluated.
Clarify what the assistant should and should not do: “Focus only on German law. If the contract involves other jurisdictions, note this but do not analyze.”
