What does an Ideal Input Include?

An ideal research input consists of 3 basic elements:

1. Context - Tell Alexi about the file you’re working on, or the work you’re trying to perform. 
2. Goal - Describe what your ideal outcome would look like.
3. Instructions - Provide a task for Alexi to draft (such as drafting a letter, email, contract clause or an internal memo)

Here’s an example:

I’m drafting an employment agreement for a client in Ontario. The goal is to protect the client’s customer relationships without making it too restrictive. Please suggest an enforceable non-solicitation clause. Do not include a non-compete clause. Structure the clause in clear, professional legal language.

Examples of other drafting questions you can ask:

• Please draft a concise, professional letter to opposing counsel in a commercial supply-agreement dispute, requesting production of production run logs and PO/ASN/invoice files.
  
  
• Prepare a client email outlining discovery prep: documents to bring, likely topics (discipline, performance, mitigation), and etiquette.
  
  
• Draft targeted discovery questions for the HR manager on policy training, investigation steps, and consistency of discipline across comparators.
  
  
• Draft a concise letter to opposing counsel requesting 2019–2022 general ledgers, bank statements, and board minutes relevant to related-party payments, referencing Alberta proportionality and proposing rolling production within 14 days.

FAQ
‍

What type of documents can Alexi draft?

Alexi can draft relatively concise documents like emails, letters, correspondence, and internal memos. For more complex documents (pleadings, motions, contracts etc.), this requires a custom workflow, which may or may not be included with your subscription. For more information on custom workflows, please reach out to support@alexi.com.

Where information does Alexi use to create its drafts?

Sometimes, Alexi will generate a draft that is solely an LLM-based answer. Other times, it may draw on authorities (such as caselaw or your documents) to inform its draft. If you specifically want Alexi to draw from authorities, you should specify that in your prompt. For example “Please review the rules of civil procedure, then draft a letter outlining the next steps after discoveries are complete”.
