Prompting Guide for Noticia Go

Writing effective prompts in Noticia Go is the key to getting accurate, consistent, and useful results from your documents. A good prompt is simply a clear set of instructions for the AI on what to extract or analyze.

Why Prompts Matter

Think of a prompt as instructions you would give to a junior colleague. If you’re precise about what you want — and how you want it presented — you’ll get much better outputs.

Principles of Good Prompts

• Be clear and specific: Spell out exactly what you want, e.g. “List all dates mentioned in the document,” rather than “Summarize this.”
• Define key terms: If asking for relevance or privilege, state what counts (e.g. “Relevant if it discusses Project Phoenix deadlines”).
• Ask for structure: Tell Go how to format the answer (list, table, JSON, short fields).
• Keep it short and focused: A few sentences or bullets is enough — long prompts don’t help.
• Limit answers: If you need quotes, say “Extract up to three short quotes (under 300 characters each).”
• Stay consistent: Use the same wording across documents for reliable, comparable results. This is especially important where you have multiple reviewers. 

Examples You Can Adapt

Here are simple prompt templates for common review tasks. You can copy, paste, and adjust them for your case needs. For a full library of sample prompts, see this document.

Relevance Review

Classify this document as Relevant or Not Relevant. Relevant means it discusses contract negotiations about the 2021 Supplier Agreement. Extract up to three short quotes that show relevance. If no relevant content appears, respond: Not Relevant.

Privilege Review

Classify this document as Privileged, Not Privileged, or Both. Privileged means it includes legal advice, attorney–client communications, or attorney work product. If Privileged, extract the sentence(s) that show this, with exact wording.

Objective Coding (Metadata)

Extract the following from the document:
- Date(s) mentioned
- Sender(s) and Recipient(s) if present
- Names of companies referenced
If any field is missing, write: Information not found in document.

Entity Extraction

List all people mentioned in the document, with their full names exactly as written. Return as a bullet list.

Key Fact Finding

Identify any dates when meetings or deadlines are scheduled. List each date once, in the format it appears.

Quick Checklist

• Did I clearly state what I want (list, classification, extraction)?
• Did I define key terms (what counts as Relevant, Privileged, etc.)?
• Did I specify the format of the answer (list, table, quotes)?
• Did I set limits (e.g., max three quotes)?
• Did I include what to do if information isn’t in the document?
• Am I using the same prompt wording for similar tasks?

Takeaway

Writing prompts is like giving instructions to a junior team member. Be precise, define what matters, and say how you want the answer delivered. That’s how you’ll get consistent, trustworthy results with Noticia Go.
