2. Click the Prompt Enhancer button - AI analyzes and expands your input
3. Review the enhanced version - Check what was added
4. Customize if needed - Add specific context or requirements
5. Run or save - Execute immediately or save to your library

What makes enhancement powerful

Before enhancement

Review this contract

After enhancement

You are in-house counsel reviewing a software vendor agreement.

Focus Areas:
- Termination clauses and notice requirements
- Indemnification scope and carveouts
- Liability caps and exclusions
- Payment terms and penalties

Deliverables:
1. Five-bullet risk summary
2. Flag non-standard commercial terms
3. Suggest negotiation priorities

Format: Business-friendly language for internal stakeholders

The enhancer adds structure, context, and clear output requirements automatically.

Tips for better enhancement

Start with clear intent

The clearer your initial input, the better the enhancement.

Weak	Strong
Check this	Review vendor MSA for compliance risks
Look at the terms	Analyze payment terms against market standards

Layer your context

After enhancement, add your unique situation:

Enhanced prompt: [General review structure]
Your addition: "We're a Series A startup with limited leverage. 
This is a critical vendor for our product launch next month."

Use trigger words

Different starting phrases trigger different enhancement styles:

• “Analyze…” → Detailed breakdown with multiple perspectives
• “Summarize…” → Concise extraction of key points
• “Compare…” → Structured comparison framework
• “Draft…” → Creation of specific documents
• “Review for…” → Targeted issue spotting

Combine with document context

The enhancer works best when it understands what you’re reviewing:

Upload: [Vendor Agreement]
Prompt: "Review payment terms against market standards"
Enhanced: Full analysis framework with industry benchmarks

Advanced techniques

The double enhancement

Run enhancement twice for complex tasks:

1. First pass: Basic request → Enhanced prompt
2. Second pass: Enhanced prompt → Ultra-specific prompt

Each pass adds another layer of sophistication.

Context injection

Add context between enhancement and execution:

Step 1: "Review this DPA" → Enhanced
Step 2: Insert: "Healthcare industry, HIPAA applies"
Step 3: Run enhanced + contextualized prompt

Multi-document enhancement

For multiple documents, enhance separately then combine:

Doc 1: "Review MSA" → Enhanced for agreements
Doc 2: "Review DPA" → Enhanced for data protection
Combine: Merge both enhanced prompts for comprehensive review

Role enhancement

Start with a role to shape the enhancement:

"As conservative outside counsel, review this agreement"
→ Enhancement adds risk-averse perspective throughout

Best practices

Edit, don’t accept blindly

The enhancer provides a framework, but you know your specific needs:

• Remove irrelevant sections
• Add company-specific requirements
• Adjust tone for your audience
• Include deal-specific constraints

Save enhanced patterns

When an enhanced prompt works perfectly:

1. Save it to your library immediately
2. Name it descriptively
3. Note what made it effective
4. Reuse for similar situations

Test variations

Try different starting points for the same task:

• “Review this NDA” vs “Analyze confidentiality provisions”
• “Check for risks” vs “Identify deal-breakers”
• “Summarize terms” vs “Extract key obligations”

Different starts yield different useful frameworks.

Build enhancement chains

Link enhanced prompts for complex workflows:

Prompt 1: "Identify risks" → Enhanced risk framework
Prompt 2: "Prioritize findings" → Enhanced prioritization
Prompt 3: "Draft response" → Enhanced communication

When not to enhance

• Already Detailed Prompts If you’ve written a comprehensive prompt, enhancement might add noise.

• Simple Yes/No Questions “Is there a liability cap?” doesn’t need enhancement.

• Tested Library Prompts Your proven prompts are already optimized.

• Time-Sensitive Quick Checks When you need a fast answer, skip enhancement overhead.

Quick fixes

Issue	Problem	Solution
Too Generic	Enhancement feels boilerplate	Start with more specific initial input
Over-Enhanced	Prompt becomes too complex	Trim unnecessary sections post-enhancement
Wrong Focus	Enhancement emphasizes wrong areas	Guide with keywords in initial prompt
Missing Context	Enhancement lacks industry/role specifics	Add your unique context after enhancement

Power keywords

Type	Keywords
Urgency	Critical, urgent, time-sensitive
Scope	Comprehensive, quick, high-level
Audience	For board, for legal team, for business
Format	Table format, executive brief, checklist

Remember

The enhancer is a starting point, not an endpoint. Use it to quickly build a solid foundation, then add your expertise and context to create prompts that deliver exactly what you need.

Great prompts combine AI enhancement with human judgment. Let the enhancer handle the structure while you provide the strategy.
