Amplify Prompt
Definition
Amplify Prompt is a feature that automatically enriches a lawyer's query with relevant context before sending it to the AI model. It adds jurisdictional parameters, matter context, relevant document references, and structural framing to a simple question, transforming a brief query into a comprehensive, well-structured prompt that produces higher-quality results.
The quality of AI output is directly correlated with the quality of the input. A prompt that includes relevant context, specific parameters, and clear structure will produce dramatically better results than a bare question. However, manually crafting detailed prompts for every query is impractical in the flow of legal work, where lawyers need quick answers and cannot pause to write paragraph-long instructions.
Amplify Prompt bridges this gap by automatically enriching the lawyer's query. When a lawyer asks a simple question like 'is this non-compete enforceable?', the system automatically adds the relevant jurisdiction from the matter context, references the specific non-compete provision from the uploaded agreement, includes relevant facts from the matter file, and structures the prompt to elicit a comprehensive analysis. The lawyer writes a simple question; the AI receives a rich, contextualized prompt.
This feature is particularly valuable because it democratizes prompt engineering. Instead of requiring every lawyer to learn optimal prompting techniques, the system handles the engineering automatically. Junior associates get the same prompt quality as experienced users, and the output quality is more consistent across the firm because the enrichment follows the same best practices every time.

Prompt Engineering for Lawyers
Prompt engineering is the practice of structuring instructions to an AI system to elicit accurate, useful, and appropriately scoped responses. For lawyers, effective prompting includes specifying jurisdiction, defining the role the AI should assume, providing relevant context, and clearly articulating the desired output format.
WorkflowMatter Context
Matter context is the accumulated body of information relevant to a specific legal matter, including uploaded documents, prior research, communications, and case facts, that an AI system maintains and references across all interactions. It allows the AI to provide increasingly relevant assistance as the matter develops, without requiring lawyers to re-explain background each time.
AI ConceptsAI Context Window
The context window is the maximum amount of text an AI model can process in a single interaction, measured in tokens. A larger context window allows the model to consider more documents, longer contracts, or more extensive case histories simultaneously, which directly impacts the quality and completeness of its legal analysis.
AI ConceptsLegal Operating System
A legal operating system is a unified AI platform that consolidates research, drafting, document analysis, and knowledge management into a single interface. Rather than requiring lawyers to switch between multiple point solutions, it provides one environment where every legal workflow connects to the same underlying intelligence layer.
