Legal News Use Case and Prompt Tip for Protégé General AI

A common request for researchers is to get information on a particular company or even a specific issue that might show up in the news.

Prompting Protégé General AI and allowing it to search both the Web and LexisNexis legal content, can provide an up-to-date summary and highlights as an excellent starting point.

For example, here’s a recent prompt run the day after Netflix backed out of the potential purchase of Warner Bros./Discovery:

What are the reasons Netflix has backed out of the competition with Paramount for the purchase of Warner Bros./Discovery? Discuss the offers from both Netflix and Paramount.

Once the result comes back – with links to online sources on the Web – one might ask:

Based on the above, create a Boolean search for use with the News and Legal News content on Lexis+

The result typically includes more than one suggested Boolean search, depending on the variety of issues involved.

The Boolean search prompt request yielded several alternative search strings, covering the following topics:

• Primary Boolean query
• A search for “Financial/Valuation Coverage”
• A search for “Deal Structure and Terms”
• A search for “Strategic/Business Analysis”
• A search for “Legal/Regulatory Focus”

The results also included additional search tips and an expanded search for broader coverage.

Naturally, one should review the searches and make any adjustments before running in the News/Legal News on Lexis+.
