Tips
- Be specific: "Art. 97 OR foreseeability" is better than "contract damages".
- Include citations: Reference articles and BGE numbers when you have them.
- Specify jurisdiction: Mention the canton for cantonal law questions.
- Choose language: Query in your preferred language (DE/FR/IT/EN).
- Use workflows: For complex matters, let the gateway coordinate multiple agents.
