You get high-quality curated clauses, but also access to real-life alternatives from your precedent documents. * **To stay in the zone while writing**\ The interface is deliberately minimal and unobtrusive, so you stay focused on your drafting. Search results appear contextually, eliminating the need to juggle multiple documents and allowing you to browse your content without breaking your flow. *** #### ❌ **When you *****shouldn’t***** use it:** * **If you prefer full control over search queries**\ Similar Clauses works best when you want quick and smart help. If you prefer to navigate folders manually, Truffle Hunt or the Quality Library might suit you better. * **If your document is already finalised**\ This tool is meant for the drafting and editing phase. If your document is ready for signature, there's usually no need to go searching for alternatives. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.clausebuddy.com/autosuggest/why.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
