Turn permission notes into three questions
Why now: The Brave dispute makes the distinction between service access and third-party content rights a useful starting point for supplier questions.
Prompted by today's lead: Publishers accuse Brave of selling scraped journalism to AI firms
What you'll need
- Non-sensitive notes describing a service, your intended use and any permissions that remain unclear.
Steps
- Gather your intended use and the permission wording you already have.
- Paste the notes into the prompt.
- Check that the draft describes your plans accurately before sending it.
The prompt
Draft a supplier inquiry email from these notes. Use plain text with no Markdown formatting and stay under 120 words. Include a subject line, one sentence describing our intended use, and exactly three questions: whether that use is permitted, what third-party content rights are included, and where the relevant permission is documented. Close with a request for written clarification. Use only the notes; do not invent permissions or give a legal conclusion. Notes: [paste your service and intended-use notes]
What you should get
An email under 120 words with a subject line, one intended-use sentence, exactly three permission questions and a request for written clarification; no invented rights or legal conclusion.

Input
Our neighbourhood reading club is considering a paid newspaper archive subscription. We want to choose short passages for a printed discussion handout and use an AI assistant to draft questions about them. The brochure mentions searchable access but says nothing about copying passages or sending text to another service. We have not subscribed and want the supplier to clarify these uses first.
Output
Subject: Clarification of archive subscription permissions Hello, Our neighbourhood reading club is considering a paid newspaper archive subscription to select short passages for a printed discussion handout and send them to an AI assistant to draft discussion questions. The brochure mentions searchable access but does not address copying passages or sending text to another service. Are both of these intended uses permitted? What rights to third-party content are included in the subscription? Where is the relevant permission documented? We have not subscribed. Please provide written clarification before we decide whether to subscribe. Thank you, The neighbourhood reading club
