AI prompt to explain disability income insurance

Life, annuity and health products are complex and closely regulated, so clear, neutral explanations matter. AI helps agents prepare plain-language explainers, meeting prep and checklists, which you then check against product materials and your compliance rules.

Below is a ready-to-copy prompt to explain disability income insurance, a detailed version that asks you clarifying questions first, and tips for using it. It works in any AI assistant: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.

The prompt

Explain disability income insurance in plain English: short- vs long-term, elimination and benefit periods, and why paycheck protection matters, with one example. Terms vary by policy. Under 200 words.

Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)

Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (the product type, the client's life stage and the format). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team.

Task: Explain disability income insurance in plain English: short- vs long-term, elimination and benefit periods, and why paycheck protection matters, with one example. Terms vary by policy. Under 200 words.

What a good result looks like

A good explanation compares short-term and long-term disability in plain words, explains the elimination period (how long you wait before benefits start) and the benefit period (how long benefits can last), and uses one simple example about replacing part of a paycheck.

Common mistakes and watch-outs

Avoid statistics about how likely disability is unless you have a cited, current source, and don't promise benefit amounts or approval. Definitions of disability vary by policy, so keep that general and check the product you sell.

How to adapt the prompt

Ask for a version for self-employed clients or one for employees deciding on workplace coverage. You can also ask for three questions to discuss in a needs review.
