If you upload a PDF, Word, Excel, or text file, you can ask questions about it or use it as a basis to draft new documents. For example: "Summarize the testimony of [witness]," "Summarize this document," or "Draft a [specify type of document] based on the uploaded file", "Identify issues in the document."... Clearer requests lead to more accurate responses. 


Thank you for trying our new AI document drafting feature. We're excited to see how it's helping legal professionals like you save valuable time.

To ensure you get the most accurate, comprehensive, and relevant drafts on your first try, the AI works best with a little more context. Think of it as briefing a new associate—the more background you provide, the better the first draft will be.

How to Write an Effective AI Query

Instead of a short command, try providing a detailed prompt that includes:

  • Document Type: What are you drafting?
  • Key Parties & Facts: Who is involved and what are the crucial details?
  • Jurisdiction & Governing Law: State, federal, country?
  • Desired Tone & Specific Clauses: Aggressive, neutral, boilerplate, or custom?
  • Analyzing Documents: Upload the document and ask questions such as "find deficiencies", "summarize testimony of XYZ", "draft request for admissions based on this complaint/answer".  A comprehensive document analysis example is provided below.

Examples:

❌ Instead of a vague prompt like this...
"Draft a demand letter.""Draft an NDA."
"Motion to dismiss.""Lease agreement."
✅ Try a detailed prompt like this...
Demand Letter:
"Draft a strongly worded demand letter for a breach of contract related to a failed software implementation. The client, TechCorp Inc., paid $150,000 to VendorXYZ but the software never met the performance metrics outlined in Section 4.2 of the agreement. Demand full repayment within 14 days under the laws of the State of California before we file suit."		NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement):
"Draft a mutual NDA for a potential joint venture between a US-based pharmaceutical company ('PharmaCo') and a German biotech research firm ('BioGmbH'). It must include standard exceptions for publicly available information, a term of 5 years, and specify that disputes will be resolved under ICC arbitration rules in Zurich."
Motion to Dismiss:
"Draft a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction in a Florida federal court. The defendant, my client, is an Illinois LLC with no physical presence, employees, or regular business operations in Florida. The plaintiff's claim arises from a single online purchase made from our Illinois-based website."		Residential Lease:
"Draft a residential lease agreement for a single-family home in Austin, Texas. Include a 12-month term, a pet addendum for one dog with a $250 non-refundable deposit, specific clauses on maintenance responsibilities for the yard, and strict adherence to Texas Property Code guidelines."

Document Analysis Example:

If your goal is to extract “facts” from a document, upload the document to CaseFox AI Document Analyzer. Then, paste the following detailed prompt into the analyzer’s text box to get accurate results. Think of CaseFox AI as your intelligent assistant—clearly describe the task you want it to perform, providing as much detail as possible.

Idea
You are a legal analyst AI. Your task is to identify and extract only the factual statements from the provided legal document text. A "fact" is any objective statement describing what happened, when, where, how, and to whom, without including opinions, arguments, or legal conclusions. Below is a section of a legal document related to an incident. 1. Extract and list all distinct factual statements from the text. 2. Each fact should be concise, self-contained, and written in plain language. 3. Ignore opinions, allegations, legal arguments, or procedural details. 4. If multiple facts are related, separate them as individual bullet points. 5. Preserve key details like dates, people, locations, and actions.

By providing this level of detail, you guide the AI to generate a foundational draft that is much closer to the final product, requiring less time for you to review and edit.

We are committed to building tools that make you more efficient and effective. Happy drafting!
