NDA draft prompt

What most people type

draft a simple mutual NDA for two small businesses exploring a partnership

It works, but the AI has to guess your party A details, party B details and partnership purpose, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

Draft a simple mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) between two small businesses exploring a potential partnership. Write it in plain English, as a starting draft for a lawyer to review.

Parties and context:
- Party A: [business name, entity type, address]
- Party B: [business name, entity type, address]
- Purpose of the discussions: [brief description of the potential partnership]
- Governing law and jurisdiction: [state/country]
- Effective date: [date]

Include the clauses a standard mutual NDA needs, in numbered sections:
- Definition of confidential information, including what is excluded (public, already known, independently developed, lawfully received from a third party)
- Purpose and permitted use
- Each party's obligations (standard of care, limits on sharing with employees and advisers who need to know)
- Compelled disclosure by law
- Term of the agreement and how long confidentiality lasts: [term in years]
- Return or destruction of materials
- No license, no obligation to enter a deal, and no warranty
- Remedies, governing law, entire agreement, amendments, and signature blocks for both parties

After the draft, add a short list of the points the parties should decide or have a lawyer check, such as term length and local legal requirements. Don't invent facts about the parties.

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: business name, entity type, address, brief description of the potential partnership, state/country, date, term in years.

Why this version works

• Added placeholders for parties, purpose, law, term. An NDA needs these facts; none were given.
• Listed standard mutual NDA clauses. Ensures a complete, usable draft on the first try.
• Asked for lawyer-review notes. Flags choices the parties must make, without guessing.
• Kept plain-English, simple tone. Matches the person's request for a simple NDA.
