Improve prompt

Improve prompt is a one-click rewrite that turns a rough idea into a clearer, more specific request. Click the sparkle button next to the prompt box and Parachute rewrites your draft into a stronger version, using any context you have attached. You stay in control - the rewrite goes back into the editor so you can review, edit, or undo it before sending.

Where to find it

Section titled “Where to find it”

The sparkle icon sits in the toolbar directly below the prompt box. It appears on:

  • The home page, before you start a new thread
  • A matter page, when adding a new thread to that matter
  • The new thread modal
  • An active thread, when sending a follow-up message

The button is disabled while the prompt is empty, while a file is still uploading, or if you have reached your usage limit for the period.

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”
  1. Type your rough prompt in the input box. It is fine if it is short or vague.
  2. Optionally add context - attach files, reference knowledge base documents with @, pick a template, or open the prompt inside an active matter.
  3. Click the sparkle button. Parachute replaces your draft with an improved version, usually within a second or two.
  4. Review the rewrite. Edit anything you want, fill in any placeholders, then send.

If you do not like the rewrite, click Undo improve to put your original wording back exactly as you typed it.

What it does to your prompt

Section titled “What it does to your prompt”

Improve prompt rewrites your draft to be clearer and more useful to the AI, while staying true to what you asked for. In practice, this means:

  • Restates your request more precisely. Vague asks like “draft a privacy policy” become specific, well-scoped instructions.
  • Pulls in your attached context. If you have attached files, referenced knowledge base documents, selected a template, or are working inside a matter, the rewrite grounds the prompt in those materials.
  • Adds inline placeholders for missing specifics. Where the prompt is missing details like party names, jurisdictions, dates, or contract values, the rewrite inserts small highlighted hints such as [party name] or [governing jurisdiction] for you to fill in.
  • Uses appropriate legal terminology. Plain phrasing is upgraded to the right legal terms where it helps.
  • Keeps your voice. The rewrite stays conversational and sounds like something you would have written. It does not turn into a formal memo.

It also follows a few deliberate rules:

  • Never invents facts. If a detail is not in your prompt or attached context, Parachute leaves a placeholder rather than fabricating one.
  • Never asks you clarifying questions. The rewrite is ready to send, not a checklist.
  • Preserves your intent. Minor edits only, when your prompt is already clear and well-structured.

Example

Section titled “Example”

Before improve:

review this lease and tell me whats risky

After improve:

Review the attached commercial lease for [lessee name] and identify any clauses that present material risk to the lessee. Cover unusual rent review mechanisms, broad indemnities, demolition or relocation clauses, make-good obligations, and any restrictions on assignment or subletting. Flag each issue with the relevant clause reference and a short explanation of the risk. Jurisdiction: [governing jurisdiction].

The rewrite is grounded in the attached lease, structured around what a lessee would actually want to know, and leaves the lessee name and jurisdiction as placeholders for you to fill in.

When to use it

Section titled “When to use it”

Improve prompt is most useful when:

  • You have a clear idea but cannot be bothered to type a long, structured prompt.
  • You have attached files or knowledge base documents and want the prompt to reference them properly.
  • You are about to send something to a more capable AI mode (Lawyer or Senior Associate) and want to make the credits count.
  • You are not sure what level of detail to include.

You probably do not need it when your prompt is already specific - a one-line follow-up like “now redraft clause 12 in plainer language” is fine as is.

Privacy and credits

Section titled “Privacy and credits”

The rewrite happens server-side using the same data-handling protections as every other AI interaction in Parachute. Your prompt, attached files, and referenced context stay within your organisation. See security for details.

Improve prompt does not use your AI credits. Only the AI response to the final, sent prompt is charged.
