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.

EDITING YOUR DRAFTS

Think of Alexi’s drafting features as a process, not a one-time task. The more you iterate, the closer you’ll get to obtaining a draft that perfectly serves your needs.

Here are some examples of prompts that you can use to refine, adjust, focus or tailor your drafts.
‍

1. Prompts that Refine Content or Detail

• Add more factual detail to clarify the timeline of events.
• Include a brief explanation of why these documents are being requested.
• Make the summary more focused on the financial consequences for the client.

2. Prompts that Adjust Tone or Style

• Make the tone more aggressive toward opposing counsel.
• Soften the language to be more client-friendly and reassuring.
• Make the tone more authoritative and confident without sounding confrontational.

3. Prompts that Focus the Purpose

• Make this email solely about requesting the records; remove any commentary on liability.
• Emphasize the urgency of this request for the litigation timeline.
• Reframe this message to stress compliance with discovery obligations.

4. Prompts that Tailor to the Audience

• Adapt the explanation so it's suitable for a client with no legal background.
• Make this more appropriate for a senior partner's review.
• Reword to be more suitable for opposing counsel in a contentious matter.
