Objective

Learn how to effectively use the Chat feature to analyze and understand your contract documents.

Background

The Chat feature provides AI-powered contract analysis, helping you quickly find and understand specific contract provisions.

Using Contract Chat

Accessing Chat

Find the Chat feature by:

• Locating the Chat button in the lower-right corner

• Clicking "Chat with your contract" to begin

Understanding Chat Responses

Chat responses provide:

• Direct links to referenced contract pages

• Copy-paste functionality for notes in Document Crunch

Creating Effective Prompts

Use Action-Based Requests:

• "Find and summarize the payment terms"

• "Define the substantial completion requirements"

• "Explain the change order process"

• "Create a numbered list of contractor responsibilities"

Avoid Single-Word Queries:

• Instead of "weather" → Ask "What are the weather delay provisions?"

• Instead of "retainage" → Ask "What is the retainage percentage and release schedule?"

Build Comprehensive Queries:

• Combine related questions in one prompt

• Example: "What insurance requirements exist and when must certificates be provided?"

• Example: "What are the notice requirements for delays and how must they be documented?"
