Template Customization and Document Generation#

Personalized Petition and Support Letter Drafts#

• Firms can configure Parley to draft O-1A, EB-1, EB-2 NIW, H-1B, L-1, E-2, TN, and other petitions using templates that reflect the firm’s unique organizational structure and writing philosophy.
• Drafts are dynamically generated from uploaded evidence; system pulls key data, integrates reference quotes, and automatically matches prior successful petitions for style and structure alignment.
• Reference letter generation can be tailored to author and recipient preferences, including jurisdictional, case type, and individual attorney requirements.

Example Use Cases

• Inclusion of Custom Headers/Footers: All generated documents automatically carry specified firm header, footer, disclaimers, or watermarks.
• Variable Language Style: Teams may instruct Parley to favor formal, conversational, or technical tone depending on intended recipient (e.g., USCIS examiners, clients, government agencies).

Forms Generation#

• Standardized forms (e.g., I-129, I-140) are automatically filled from evidence and custom questionnaire responses streamlined by firm-specific process.

Branding Capabilities#

• Firm Identity Integration: Parley allows the embedding of firm names, logos, contact details, and custom disclaimers in all outgoing drafts and assembled PDFs.
• Style Guide Enforcement: Firms can upload style guidelines so that AI output consistently matches preferred font, formatting (e.g., block quote style, exhibit labeling) and citation conventions.
• White-label Support: Parley drafts can be produced in a white-label format—no Parley branding—in line with firm requirements for invisible AI assistance.

Prompt Customization & Adaptive Controls#

• Attorney and Firm Prompt Profiling: The AI learns from past drafts, feedback, and accepted/rejected suggestions, refining its prompts to match evolving team strategies and preferences.
• Custom Instruction Injection: Users may provide specific instructions before drafting (e.g., emphasize published peer-reviewed material, de-emphasize salary data) directing the AI to prioritize/present information accordingly.
• Granular Section-by-Section Control: Attorneys may lock or override sections of a draft so that Parley only rewrites specific areas, enforcing granular review and update control.
• Team-level Defaults: Firms may set default strategies or prompt frameworks—such as focusing on certain visa criteria or referencing specific governing case law—automatically applied to all new matters.

Example

• A firm that specializes in technology cases may default their O-1A templates to highlight patents, published technical articles, and peer endorsements, rather than filmography or awards.
