Understanding Templates
Templates act as the blueprint for all your AI-generated documents. ProPlaintiff.ai provides five pre-made templates you can use immediately, or you can build your own from scratch to fit your firm’s style and structure. Each template defines which sections your document will include.
For example:
Cover Page
Accident Summary
Patient History
Diagnostic Tests and Results
Executive Summary
💡 Think of templates as your master layout — they determine how your Demand Letters and Medical Chronologies are organized from start to finish.
How to Use Templates in ProPlaintiff.ai
Use templates to create consistent, professional Demand Letters and Medical Chronologies while reinforcing your firm's branding and saving valuable drafting time.
Create a New Template
Start by giving your template a clear name and structuring it with sections and subsections that fit your workflow.
Add Branding Elements
Include your firm's custom letterhead, signature blocks, and contact information for a polished, branded appearance.
Customize Styling
Adjust fonts, colors, and formatting styles to match your firm's visual identity.
Use Prompts Effectively
Write prompts that guide the AI on content, tone, and structure so each section includes the appropriate information and follows your firm's preferred writing style.
Why Templates Matter
Templates help standardize your documents, maintain consistent branding, and significantly reduce the time spent drafting repetitive documents.
Document Sections: Feeding the AI
Under the Document Sections tab, you'll define the structure and instructions the AI uses to generate content. Each section includes a title and an AI prompt that tells the system what information to include and how to format it.
Example:
Example of Output:
Each section you add directly influences what the AI includes in your generated output.
If the information isn’t covered in your sections, the AI won’t generate it, so it’s important to build your templates thoughtfully.
Controlling AI Output
If you're recreating a document your firm sends on a regular basis—such as a client letter, settlement letter, authorization, or other standardized document—you don't have to let the AI rewrite everything.
Instead, build the document so only the information that changes from case to case is generated dynamically.
Use Brackets for Dynamic Information
Place any information you want the AI to populate from the case inside square brackets [ ].
Examples:
[Client Name][Insurance Company][Today's Date][Claim Number][Check #]
When the document is generated, ProPlaintiff.ai replaces these placeholders with information from the case.
Use Quotes for Fixed Text
Any wording you want to remain exactly the same every time should be enclosed in quotation marks " ".
This tells the AI to preserve the text exactly as written instead of rewriting or paraphrasing it.
Example
Rather than asking the AI to write your opening paragraph, provide the exact language you'd like every document to begin with.
Prompt Example:
Verbatim only. Fill in the words in brackets with data from the file:
"Dear [Insurance Company], The Ashley Law Firm represents [Client Name]..."
The AI will leave the quoted text unchanged while replacing the bracketed placeholders with the appropriate case information.
When to Build From Scratch
If the AI continues rewriting a section in a way you're not happy with, it's usually best to build that portion of the template from scratch.
Write the text exactly as you want it to appear, place any variable information inside brackets ([ ]), and surround the text you want preserved with quotation marks.
Once the template is complete, you'll only have to build it once. Every future document generated from that template becomes plug-and-play, automatically inserting case-specific information while preserving your firm's preferred language.
💡 Pro Tip: For standardized letters and forms, keep as much of the document fixed as possible and only use brackets for information that changes between clients. This produces more consistent and predictable results.
How Templates and Sections Work Together
Templates = The layout of your document.
Sections = The instructions for what the AI writes in each part of that layout.
When you generate a Demand Letter or Medical Chronology, the AI looks at your selected template and follows the prompts you’ve written in each section to fill in case-specific details.
💡The more detailed and structured your prompts are, the more accurate and professional your generated documents will be.
Editing or Creating a New Template
To build or customize a template:
Navigate to Main Navigation → Templates.
Choose an existing template or click Add Template.
Define your Document Sections by clicking Add Section.
Edit the AI prompt for each section to control the content and formatting.
Save your template.
Example in Action
In the screenshot above, you’ll see how the Document Sections on the left (Cover Page, Accident Summary, Patient History) correspond to the generated document on the right.
The AI followed each section’s prompt, pulling data from uploaded case files to produce structured, professional text with clear formatting.
Key Takeaway
Your template determines what appears in your document.
Your document sections determine what the AI writes and how it writes it.
By combining well-structured templates with clear, intentional prompts, and using brackets for dynamic information and quotes for fixed text, you can generate professional, consistent documents that match your firm's style every time.
