Chain-of-Thought: Make AI Show Its Work

Here's a powerful trick: ask AI to think step-by-step. Instead of 'Is this a strong case?', try: 'Analyze this case step by step. First, evaluate liability. Second, assess damages. Third, consider potential defenses. Fourth, estimate case value. Fifth, give your overall recommendation with a confidence level. Think through each step carefully before moving to the next.' Why does this work? When AI is forced to show its reasoning, it catches its own mistakes and gives more thorough, accurate answers. It's like asking a colleague to 'walk me through your thinking' rather than just giving a bottom-line answer.

💡 Tip: When AI shows its work step-by-step, it catches its own mistakes. This one trick dramatically improves accuracy.
