Better AI prompts
for legal work
Prompt Pilot adds instructions, called tunes, to the prompt you were going to send. With one click, the tunes tell the AI to ask you questions first, give you options to choose from, and flag the judgment calls for you to make.

A one-line prompt…
Start with an outline only: structure, key points, and the role of each section.
Confirm with me which jurisdiction governs before relying on any legal rule.
Before substantive work, list every assumption you are making: about the facts, the parties, the procedural posture,…

A less obvious risk of using AI in legal work
Made-up citations are a known risk, and you probably check for them already. A less obvious risk is that the AI chooses the argument, the structure, the tone, and the emphasis, and you end up reviewing work you did not direct. Over time, the AI makes more of the decisions you are paid to make.
You do not have to use AI less. You can write prompts that leave those decisions to you, and Prompt Pilot adds that language to any prompt automatically.
“Draft a motion to compel.”
“Draft a motion to compel. But first ask me your 3 highest-value questions, then show me an argument menu with strength ratings. I pick. Flag every judgment call.”

What Prompt Pilot does
Auto Pilot chooses tunes that fit the task
Auto Pilot identifies the kind of task in your prompt (drafting, research, contract review, or discovery) and adds the tunes that help most with it. A prompt health score compares the prompt before and after.
- Different tunes for drafting, research, and review
- A prompt health score before and after, with each check shown
- Three depths to choose from: light, balanced, or deep

Eight flight modes for different kinds of work
Co-Counsel is the most collaborative. Skeptic pressure-tests an argument. Voice Guardian protects your own writing voice. Each mode changes how the AI works with you, and you can switch modes in one click.
Lenses for your practice area and your role
Add a lens for your practice area (litigation, transactional, IP, employment, tax, and more) and one for your role (associate, partner, in-house, GC, solo, paralegal). Each lens tells the AI about the norms, risks, and audience for that kind of work. New tunes are added regularly.

For the reasoning behind the tunes, read the guide
The AI-Enabled Lawyer is Joe Regalia's guide to AI and legal work: judgment, writing, workflows, and better legal services, with worked examples and practice resources. It has 16 chapters in four parts. For lawyers and law students. Free to read online, no account needed.
Read it to learn why a tune works. It covers how an AI model produces an answer, when to use AI on an assignment, how to give instructions the AI can act on, and how to take responsibility for what it gives back. The playbook in Prompt Pilot is one chapter of the book, and the guide covers the subject in full.

Common questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. Prompt Pilot runs in your browser and works with any AI tool, including ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and your firm’s in-house assistant. You add tunes to your prompt here, then paste it into the tool you use.
Is my prompt or client data sent anywhere?
No. Prompt Pilot works entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded to a server or stored on one, so your prompt stays on your computer.
Which AI tools does it work with?
All of them. Prompt Pilot changes the text of your prompt, and you paste the result into whichever AI tool you already use. It does not depend on any particular AI model.
Will this slow down my work?
It takes one click. Auto Pilot reads your prompt and adds the tunes that fit the task. You can use the result as it is or remove any tune you do not want.
What does it cost?
Nothing, and you do not need an account. Everything is free to use: the Cockpit, all 8 flight modes, all 120 tunes (including the 33 practice-area and role lenses), the 181-prompt library, and the playbook. Prompt Pilot is made by Write.law, whose courses cover the judgment behind it in more depth.
