Blue J is designed to help you quickly understand tax issues, find relevant authorities, and generate structured outputs.
The best results come from asking clear, focused questions and using Blue J for the types of tasks it’s designed to handle.
Use the guidance below to get the most value from your queries.
What works best in Blue J
Blue J performs especially well when you:
- Ask clear, specific questions
- Focus on tax-related issues
- Request structured analysis, summaries, or comparisons
- Build on answers using follow-up questions
How to ask effective questions
1. Use objective, specific language
Questions work best when they focus on clearly defined criteria.
Instead of:
- “What are the leading cases on X?”
Try:
- “What cases address [specific issue]?”
- “What cases are most frequently cited in [area]?”
This helps Blue J return more precise and relevant results.
2. Use Blue J to support analysis and drafting
Blue J is most effective as a tool to:
- Summarize complex material
- Identify key issues
- Generate structured drafts or outlines
For more complex work:
- Use Blue J to build a strong foundation
- Then refine and finalize using your own judgment
If available, Deep Reasoning can help produce more detailed and structured outputs.
3. Keep questions within tax scope
Blue J’s responses are based on tax-related sources.
For best results:
- Focus on tax-specific aspects of your question
- Break broader, cross-domain questions into smaller tax-focused parts
4. Focus on real scenarios and established guidance
Blue J works best with:
- Existing rules
- Published guidance
- Decided cases
You can get strong results by asking about:
- How rules apply
- How similar issues have been addressed in the past
5. Be clear and focused when working with documents
When using documents (uploaded or pasted):
- Ask one specific question at a time
- Clearly state what you want (e.g., summary, comparison, issue identification)
- Break large or complex tasks into smaller steps
Example:
- Instead of: “Analyze this document”
- Try: “Summarize the key tax issues in this agreement”
6. Keep prompts simple and direct
Blue J is designed to understand professional tax questions without extra instructions.
You do not need to:
- Add role-based prompts (e.g., “Act as a tax professional”)
- Request formatting that is already built in (e.g., citations on every sentence)
Simple, direct questions produce the best results.
Quick tips for better results
- Be specific about the issue or rule you’re asking about
- Avoid vague or subjective language
- Focus on real scenarios and established guidance
- Break complex questions into smaller parts
- Use follow-up questions to refine your results
Still not getting what you need?
If your results aren’t as expected, try:
- Adding more detail or context to your question
- Narrowing the scope
- Asking a follow-up to clarify or expand the answer
