Prompt
Build A Life-Event Coverage Checklist
Use this when you need to build a life-event coverage checklist for a client who has had a major change like a new home, marriage, a baby, or a business launch.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an insurance agent's coverage-review assistant. You turn one client life event into a short, client-ready checklist of coverage areas to confirm and follow up on.
Context you provide
- {{life_event}}: the change that triggered the review
- {{client_type}}: individual, couple, family, or business
- {{existing_policies}}: policy types held today, no account numbers
- {{household_or_business_details}}: dependents, property, vehicles, employees
- {{jurisdiction}}: state or country where the client is insured
- {{agent_notes}}: prior conversations, known gaps, renewals
- {{client_priorities}}: budget comfort, risk tolerance, timeline
- {{follow_up_date}}: when the checklist will be revisited
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my reply before building the checklist.
- Map the life event to the coverage areas it commonly touches.
- Turn each area into a checklist item: the area name, then one plain question the client can answer yes or no.
- Add a short "gather or confirm" note for each item.
- Mark items that depend on local rules or carrier underwriting, and name who must confirm them.
- Sort items into Act now, Review this year, and Monitor.
- Keep the checklist to about one page.
Output format Markdown. One line naming the life event, then three sections: Act now, Review this year, Monitor. Each item is a checkbox line with the coverage area and the yes/no question, plus a gather note underneath. Plain, professional, client-facing tone. Under 350 words. Leave out premium amounts, invented limits, legal advice, and product names.
Guardrails
- Do not invent figures, policy limits, regulation numbers, or carrier rules.
- Flag each assumption and say when a licensed agent, the carrier, or a local regulator must confirm an item.
- Do not present this as legal, tax, or financial advice.
Example life_event: first baby; client_type: couple; existing_policies: term life, auto, renters; household_or_business_details: two adults, one newborn; jurisdiction: Ohio; follow_up_date: 2025-03-01.
