Generative AI tools are only as effective as the input they receive. This Guide aims to share good practices for prompt engineering, helping lawyers achieve better results  \nwhen using this technology.  \nEarly applications of AI in the legal profession centred around data analytics, making predictions based on data or searching large volumes of information. AI technology automating tasks such as discovery, due diligence and contract management has become widespread but, until now, many AI tools have seen rudimentary use in the legal profession.  \nGenerative AI offers an unprecedented opportunity to advance innovation in the legal profession. By automating routine work, generative AI allows lawyers to focus on higher-value work – from offering strategic guidance to building trusted client relationships – where critical thinking, commercial acumen, and a holistic understanding of the client’s needs come into play. Microsoft lawyers demonstrated that generative AI tools made them 32% quicker on tasks and 20% better on accuracy 1.  \nGenerative AI capabilities are becoming readily accessible. For example, legal research and contract drafting tools are incorporating generative AI; and the Singapore courts are starting with assisting litigants-inperson at the Small Claims Tribunal2. The Singapore Academy of Law is also augmenting its research databases with the technology.  \nSome lawyers have access to generative AI solutions designed for legal tasks, such as legal research, contract analysis and document review, while most can access general purpose generative AI tools.  \nThis guide provides fundamental prompt engineering techniques that are helpful across various chat-based generative AI tools.  \n1 Microsoft, Beyond Anecdotal Success: Copilot Delivers Value for Microsoft’s CELA Organization (23 May 2024)  \nExamples of use cases for lawyers using appropriate AI tools:  \nLegal drafting: creating first drafts of contracts, legal advice and court pleadings.  \nLegal research: researching and summarising information drawn from various sources and extracting trends and insights.  \nLegal analysis: evaluating contracts to assess risksand compliance. Document intelligence tools are gaining popularity as AI becomes a standard part of due diligence exercises.  \nSummarisation: generating synopses, summaries and fact sheets for large swathes of data.  \nNegotiation support: generating standardised responses and providing negotiation and compete intelligence.  \nKnowledge management: retrieving information and generating insights from knowledge databases.  \nCommunications: preparing first drafts of client and other communications in a customised voice.  \nMeetings: scheduling of meetings, translation features for more inclusive meetings, transcribing and summarising meetings and extracting insights.  \nPractice management: generating insights into performance metrics and financial optimisation.  \nBilling: automating billing processes, estimating time to complete tasks based on past instances.  \nMarketing: creating marketing content for firms and teams to showcase capabilities and achievements.  \n2 Channel NewsAsia, Generative AI being tested for use in Singapore Courts, starting with small claims tribunal (27 September 2023)  \nPrompt Engineering Guide  \nKnowing the basics of prompt engineering – the practice of formulating instructions to achieve specific outcomes from a generative AI tool – will enable lawyers to generate more accurate and pertinent results. This Guide provides concepts and guidance that lawyers can apply to most prompt-based generative AI tools.  \nBasic Concepts  \nWith prompt-based generative AI models, the user interacts w","cbCairAueNi14ZGG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairAueNi14ZGG","pdf",1119139,54,"English","# Examples of use cases for lawyers using appropriate AI tools\n## Legal drafting\n## Legal research\n## Legal analysis\n## Summarisation\n## Negotiation support\n## Knowledge management\n## Communications\n## Meetings\n## Practice management\n## Billing\n## Marketing\n# Knowing the basics of prompt engineering\n## Basic concepts\n## Structuring a good prompt\n## Breaking it down","[{\"question\":\"Why does prompt engineering matter for lawyers using generative AI?\",\"answer\":\"Generative AI tools are highly sensitive to the input they receive.
