To help you get experience writing, experimenting with and refining prompts that you can use in your practice, we have developed a library of prompts for financial advisors. These are prompts designed with an advisor’s daily tasks in mind, which you can easily copy and paste for your own use, editing and adapting them to the specific situations and needs of your business.
As you use this library, there are a few essential things to keep in mind. First, the AI tool that you use may make a difference in the efficacy of the prompts. Some will be better for certain prompts than others. Some may not be able to handle certain prompts at all. Consider a trial-and-error approach. Experiment with the tools that are available to you first, then explore others. Bookmark this page and visit often, as it will be regularly updated with new prompts as tools become more sophisticated.
Second, the more context you provide in your prompt, the better the AI’s output will be. Many of the prompts in this library have placeholders for you to add information and upload documents. The more the AI knows about your philosophy, your practice and your clients, the more it will be able to cater its responses. In fact, context is such an important part of a good prompt that many people with a background in AI now use the term “context engineering,” not “prompt engineering.” But proceed with caution. Be sure to check with your compliance department or home office and follow their guidance to ensure your use of AI stays within policy. Do not upload personally identifiable information and proprietary data to public chatbots.
Third, keep a human in the loop to review every AI output. Even with the best prompts, AI models can and sometimes do get things wrong or invent things altogether (known as “hallucinating”). This is why it can be dangerous to blindly use AI outputs without a human editor.
