Best practices for working with GitLaw Agent

  1. Be specific: Provide clear instructions and important details to get the best results. Vague requests may require multiple refinements.

  2. Verify outputs: The Agent is based on trusted templates, but you should always review the draft for legal accuracy and compliance with local laws. Involve a human lawyer if necessary.

  3. Iterate: Use the chat to refine the document. Ask follow‑up questions or request alternative language until the document meets your needs.

  4. Maintain contractual confidentiality: GitLaw stores data securely, but you are responsible for complying with your contractual obligations.

  5. Leverage version control: When saving the document, take advantage of GitLaw’s versioning features to track changes and collaborate with others.
