IQL templates

The Isaacus Query Language (IQL), a legal AI query language designed specifically for analyzing legal documents with AI systems, supports the use of templates, which are highly-optimized, reusable queries that abstract away the need to optimize new idiosyncratic prompts for individual models.

Templates may be invoked using the IS keyword followed by the name of the template and any number of required arguments enclosed in double quotation marks, for example, {IS confidentiality clause} or {IS clause entitling "Customer"}.

This page provides a list of currently available built-in templates for Isaacus models.

If you’re interested in learning more about how to use templates in practice, you can check out our introduction to IQL to get started. If you’re looking for a complete, formal definition of IQL, you can find that here. Also, if you’d like to suggest new templates or provide feedback on existing ones, please reach out.

It is important to note that the number of input tokens and statements in a template’s queries can change at any time without notice, so it is recommended that you check this page for the most up-to-date information. Currently, all of our templates use only a single statement, so we do not provide a column for that right now.
