Writing Effective Prompts for the Inkfree AI Assistant
The assistant answers exactly what you ask — so asking well is the skill. Four habits cover it.
1. Be Specific
"What's the payment schedule in section 4?" beats "explain this". Name the topic, clause, or section whenever you can.
2. Shape the Output
Tell it the form you want:
• "List as bullet points…"
• "Answer yes or no, then explain in two sentences."
• "Give me a table of dates and what happens on each."
3. Ask Follow-Ups
The assistant keeps context in a session. "What about early termination?" after a termination question works — you don't have to restate everything.
4. Anchor Comparisons
For "is this normal?" questions, name the baseline: "How does this liability cap compare to a standard mutual NDA?" gets a sharper answer than "is this cap okay?"
Prompts Worth Stealing
• "Extract the parties, effective date, term, and renewal terms."
• "List every deadline and notice period with its clause number."
• "Quote the exact text of the indemnification clause."
