Beginner’s Guide to Prompting in Lexa

What is Lexa?

With Lexa, Lexzur’s AI Assistant, your team can tackle every challenge effortlessly—reviewing contract clauses, analyzing risks, ensuring compliance, assessing case strengths and weaknesses, uncovering key insights, and more. Integrated into Contra and Practice, Lexa delivers real-time insights so teams spend less time on manual work and more time on strategic decisions.

Why Prompting Matters

A prompt is the instruction you give Lexa. The clearer the instruction, the better the output.

• Clear prompts = precise, actionable answers
• Vague prompts = generic results

Example:
❌ “Check this contract.”
✅ “Review this vendor agreement, highlight indemnity and payment terms, and summarize them in 3 bullet points.”

Think of prompting as briefing a trusted colleague.
