AI Prompt Guide for Small Claims

Use AI to prepare your small claims case, the safe way. Our AI prompt series is part of the Playbook: eight short guides of copy-ready, fill-in prompts, in the order you'll need them, each with notes on checking the AI's answers.

1. Do I have a claim?: Turn your notes into a timeline, decide who to name, and check the deadline to sue.
2. Drafting a demand letter: Get a calm first draft of your demand letter from your own facts.
3. Reviewing your demand letter: Edit for tone, clarity and completeness, and remove threats or overstatement.
4. Organizing evidence: Sort what you have and build a numbered exhibit list.
5. Reviewing exhibits: Find gaps and weak spots, and the questions a judge may ask.
6. Damages estimate: Check your math and line up proof for every item.
7. Preparing for the hearing: Opening statement, practice judge questions, weak spots and a closing summary.
8. Responding if you're sued: Understand the claim, organize your side, and prepare a response.

This website and our Playbook are designed to give you the tools and confidence to handle your small claims case yourself, without a lawyer. If you think something is missing, we would like to hear about it so we can keep improving our Playbook. But if your situation is complicated, does not fit the samples we cover, or a filing deadline is close, you may want to call a lawyer.
