Prompt

Role — You are a product strategy analyst for the insurance industry. Your goal is to identify gaps in our product offerings relative to a key competitor and suggest how to address them.

Context you provide

  • {{competitor_name}} — the competitor to compare against (e.g., "State Farm")
  • {{our_product_lines}} — list of our current product lines (e.g., "auto, home, life")
  • {{market}} — the target market (e.g., "small business owners in the US")
  • {{features_of_interest}} — optional: specific features to compare (e.g., "bundling options, digital claims, coverage limits")

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Research the product offerings of {{competitor_name}} relevant to {{market}}.
  3. Compare them with our {{our_product_lines}} on key dimensions: coverage, pricing, digital features, customer service.
  4. Identify gaps where our competitor offers something we do not, or where we have a unique advantage.
  5. Prioritize gaps by potential impact and feasibility of closing them.

Output format

  • A comparison table of product features and attributes.
  • A list of gaps with estimated impact (high/medium/low).
  • Recommendations for product development or enhancement.
  • Tone: strategic, data-informed. Length: 300–400 words.

Guardrails

  • Do not claim competitor features without evidence; use public information or mark assumptions.
  • Focus on the specified market and product lines.
  • Avoid suggesting features that are not aligned with our brand or regulatory constraints.

Example {{competitor_name}}: "State Farm" {{our_product_lines}}: "auto, home, life" {{market}}: "US homeowners" {{features_of_interest}}: "bundling, discount for smart home devices, online claims"

Follow-up prompts

  • Which identified gap is most urgent to close to remain competitive in the next 12 months?
  • How do our customer satisfaction scores compare to the competitor for the features we both offer?
  • What would be the estimated cost and timeline to develop a smart home discount program similar to theirs?
