AI prompt toolkit
From transcript to case work product
Eleven specialized AI prompts that turn raw deposition, interview, and meeting transcripts into structured case analysis when piped to ChatGPT, Claude, or your firm's preferred LLM — contradiction analysis, timeline construction, cross-examination prep, key facts extraction, intake summaries, and more.
How attorneys use the toolkit
The recommended workflow: bulk-transcribe a case batch with BrassTranscripts Legal, then paste the TXT output into a chat with one of these prompts as the system instruction — the LLM produces structured analysis attorneys can verify and refine, eliminating hours of manual transcript review per case.
Each prompt has its own page with the full prompt text (with a copy button), tips for using it well, and a description of what the output will look like. Open the prompt that matches your task, copy, paste, run.

Frequently asked questions
Do these prompts work in any LLM, or only specific ones?
Any general-purpose LLM that accepts long-form context — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama-based open-source models, and your firm's preferred AI tool if it routes to one of these. The prompts are plain text instructions, not API calls; the same prompt produces consistent structured output across major LLMs.
How long can the transcript be?
Most LLMs accept up to 100K-200K tokens of context (roughly 75K-150K words). A 90-minute deposition transcript is typically 12K-15K words, well within limits. For batches of 50+ depositions, run prompts on each transcript separately rather than concatenating them.
Should I trust the AI output as-is?
No. Treat AI output as a structured first draft, not finished work product. Verify cited page/line references against the source transcript, spot-check factual claims, and use legal judgment on strategic recommendations. The prompts save hours of manual review; they do not replace attorney review.
Can I modify the prompts for my practice area?
Yes. The prompts are templates — adapt them for your jurisdiction, practice area, or firm conventions. The "Legal Strategy Developer" prompt in particular benefits from customization to your firm's standard case-evaluation framework.
Are these prompts privileged when I use them?
The prompts themselves are public. The transcript content you paste IS your privileged material — handle it according to your firm's AI policy. For privileged content, use an LLM your firm has vetted (enterprise ChatGPT/Claude with no-training contractual terms, or an on-premise model) rather than a free consumer-tier service.
