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
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
