Use the following tips to get the most out of your conversations. ## Provide specific details The more detail you include, the better Ask AI can understand your intent. #### Example | Instead of: | Try: | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Tell me about LJM2.` | `What did Enron’s CFO Andrew Fastow say about LJM2’s structure?` | ### Maintain consistent context Stick to one topic for each conversation. Shifting topics can confuse Ask AI and reduce response quality. Start a new conversation when switching topics. Ask AI preserves context at the conversation level, so starting a new conversation helps ensure that responses remain focused and accurate. **Example** | Instead of: | Try: | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `What are the main issues and implications discussed regarding off-balance sheet entities in the Enron documentation?`and`Create a summary analyzing the insider trading conducted by Ken Lay and Andrew Fastow. Include supporting evidence with DOC ID citations instead of index numbers.` | Start a new conversation for each topic to keep responses focused and accurate. | ### Use quotes for exact search Use quotation marks to search for exact phrases. This ensures the results find the words used together in the specified order. **Example** | Instead of: | Try: | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Find examples of documents that mention insider trading.`This prompt returns results that mention the terms *insider*, *trading*, or *insider trading*. | `Find examples of documents that mention "insider trading".`This prompt only returns results that mention the term *insider trading*. | ### Focus on topics or ideas Ask about ideas or issues rather than requesting lists of documents. This leads to more insightful responses. For instance, a more effective prompt might summarize key points from various documents, highlight significant discussions, and provide a clearer understanding of the topic. **Example** | Instead of: | Try: | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | List all documents that mention off-balance sheet entities. | What are the main issues and implications discussed regarding off-balance sheet entities? | ### Avoid number-based prompts Refrain from asking Ask AI for counts or quantities. It is better to focus on meaning over metrics. Because AI Chat uses a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approach, it prioritizes relevance over completeness and is not designed to return authoritative counts. **Note:** For document counts or search metrics, use your eDiscovery platform directly. **Example** | Instead of: | Try: | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | How many documents mention off-balance sheet entities? | What are the implications of off-balance sheet entities as discussed in the documents? | ### Rephrase when needed If a prompt does not return the expected results, try rephrasing, breaking it into parts, or using synonyms. **Example** | Instead of: | Try: | | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Was this a violation of GAAP? | Did the documents discuss whether the accounting followed GAAP rules? | ### Build on results Use snippets and citations from responses to refine your prompts or ask follow-up questions. **Example** | Instead of: | Try: | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | List all documents that mention off-balance sheet entities.Since this prompt centers on a list, there is no deeper insight to expand upon. | What are the main issues and implications discussed regarding off-balance sheet entities?Then:Can you provide more details about how Enron’s off-balance sheet entities were structured? |
