Best Practices for AI Chat

The quality of answers from the Lawis AI Chat depends significantly on how questions are framed and how the conversation is structured. These best practices will help you get more precise, reliable results.

Be specific about jurisdiction

Legal rules vary widely between jurisdictions. Always specify the country or emirate you're asking about, or use the jurisdiction selector in the chat interface. Instead of asking:

• "What is the notice period for employment termination?"

Reference specific articles or laws

• "What is the notice period for employment termination under UAE Federal Labor Law No. 33 of 2021?"

Reference specific articles or laws

If you know the specific law or article you're researching, include it in your question. This grounds the AI's retrieval in the exact document you need:

• "Explain Article 84 of the UAE Commercial Companies Law"
• "What does the DIFC Employment Law say about end-of-service gratuity?"

Use follow-up questions to go deeper

Don't try to ask everything in one message. Start with a broad question, then use follow-ups to explore specific aspects:

• First: "What are the requirements to form an LLC in the UAE?"
• Follow-up: "What are the minimum capital requirements?"
• Follow-up: "Does this differ for free zone companies?"

Export and share conversations

When you have a research thread worth keeping, export the conversation or share it with teammates. Use the export options in the conversation header to save as PDF or DOCX, or generate a share link to collaborate with colleagues.

Rate responses to improve quality

Use the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons on any message to rate the quality of a response. This feedback helps Lawis continuously improve the AI's accuracy and relevance for legal professionals.

Combine with the Search Engine

Use AI Chat and Search Engine together for deeper research: use Chat to get a quick overview and identify the key laws involved, then use the Search Engine to locate and read the full text of those specific documents.
