-    Currently, only chains from question answering is implemented. See:
-    https://langchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/chains/combine_docs_examples/question_answering.html
+    The classic example uses `langchain.chains.question_answering.load_qa_chain`.
+    This returns a chain that takes a list of documents and a question as input.
+
+    You can also use Runnables such as those composed using the LangChain Expression Language.
 
     Arguments:
-        chain: A langchain chain that has two input parameters, `input_documents` and `query`.
+        chain: The langchain chain or Runnable with a `batch` method.
+               Input keys must be `input_documents` and `question`.
+               Output key must be `output_text`.
         prompt: The prompt to be used in the model. If no prompt is given,
                 `self.default_prompt_` is used instead.
         nr_docs: The number of documents to pass to LangChain if a prompt
