Need Help Finalizing Attorney Numbers for Law Firm Data Collection

·

Hi! submitted an email but looking to hit a deadline - moving here: Thank you in advance!! Hi, In this table, I am trying to finalize the number of attorneys that work at a firm, but wondering why I'm not getting the response that I am looking for some. https://app.clay.com/workspaces/339088/tables/t_qUWvEXCjwGye/views/gv_mfyPGFmuQMXx 1) AI not continuing to "secondary" prompt and checking external sources. Example: Smith Gambrell and Russell (line 189) - the search stops at the website, but does not look at industry sources. When I google the firm, I see that Chambers clearly lists ~350 attorneys, but did it not continue on to find this. 2) Formatting of output I'm looking for numbers only. Some have 1500+ for example, when I'm only looking for 1500. 3) Credits How do I run the "tweaked" prompt only for those firms that need it, and not ones that it already found. "Confidence" is not perfect as some are "high confidence" but no result. Thank you! Nicole

To improve your results when searching for attorney numbers at law firms, you'll need to adjust your prompt with these key principles: 1. Set clear context and step-by-step instructions for the AI to: • First check the firm's website • Then check specific external sources like Chambers • Format numbers as exact integers without modifiers (e.g. "1500" not "1500+") 2. Be explicit about the output format you want: • Specify that you need only numerical values • Include formatting requirements (no plus signs or approximations) • Define which external sources should be checkedYou can use the "Help me" feature in Clay to generate an optimized prompt that includes these specifications. Then test and refine the prompt on a small sample before running it on your full dataset.

Hey Nicole, thanks for reaching out about this use case and situation you encountered. I jumped into the table to test a slight modification to the prompt and some overall suggestions to clean up the results. Here's a video on this but let me know if you run into issues or have additional questions! https://www.loom.com/share/0a5e46b878944a87b9d2ad0a4aba1898
