85-second AI task description for busy lawyers - Merging an Answer with a Complaint

This video presents a nifty hack for lawyers who must match up a defendant's answers with the complaint's allegations . . . paragraph by paragraph. Since an answer rarely reproduces each of the complaint's allegations . . . it's not easy to see what's being admitted or denied,

We created a chatbot task to merge the admissions and denials of a defendant's answer with the corresponding allegations in the plaintiff's complaint. The output is a list with each allegation immediately followed by the defendant's answer.

This makes it much easier to identify the points of contention or agreement

First: Upload your Complaint and Answer PDF files to the Chatbot

Then: Enter the following chat prompt:

[Chatbot Task Prompt - BEGIN ]

The two attached PDF files are the plaintiff's complaint in a civil court case and the defendant's answer to the allegations of the complaint.

The purpose of this TASK is to combine the contents of the two files so that each of the plaintiff's allegations is immediately followed by the defendant's response to that allegation.

The text paragraphs in each document are numbered consecutively, and the numbered paragraphs in the answer correspond to the paragraph in the complaint with the same number.

The Defendant's answers either: 

1 admit the truth of the allegation, 

2 deny the allegation, 

3 admit part and deny part of the allegation, or 

4 claim lack of knowledge of the allegation.

STEP 1 - Extract the first paragraph from the plaintiff's complaint and add it to an output list with the identifier COMPLAINT, plus the paragraph number and the original text.

Step 2. Extract the corresponding numbered paragraph from the defendant's answer and add it to an output list with the identifier ANSWER, plus the paragraph number and the original text.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each of the numbered paragraphs.

IGNORE page numbers.

IGNORE single lines of text that are not associated with numbered paragraphs.

If the document has a number sequence of 1 to 28 along the left margin, IGNORE those numbers.
