AI Skills for Financial Advisors

Amplify for Advisors Skills are guided AI tools that run inside Claude's Cowork. You install them once and they handle the work for you.

Each Skill was built specifically for financial advisors. They read your personal Voice Template so the output sounds like you, not like a template. And every Skill includes compliance guardrails so you're not spending time stripping out language that would make your compliance officer nervous.

Skills are included with every paid Amplify for Advisors subscription. Just $20 per month. No extra cost.

Months of trial and error compressed into something you install in five minutes.

How to Get Started

Skills run inside Claude's Cowork in the Claude Desktop app.

If you're new to Cowork, here's the quick version: download the Claude Desktop app, create a Cowork Project with your Voice Template and compliance instructions, and install your first Skill.

The whole setup takes about 10 minutes.

Skill #1: Voice Training

Build your complete AI Voice Template in about 30 minutes.

Most advisors using AI get output that sounds like it was written by a corporate marketing department. The Voice Training Skill fixes that by mapping exactly how you communicate. It asks the right questions, analyzes your real writing samples, and builds a Voice Template that captures your tone, your vocabulary, your compliance voice, and the analogies you naturally reach for when you're explaining something complicated.

This is the foundation Skill. Every other Skill reads from the Voice Template this one creates. Build it first, use it forever.

What it maps that generic tools miss: your compliance voice (how you naturally handle the line between education and advice), your analogy domains (the worlds you reach for when a technical explanation needs a different angle), and the personality markers that make you sound like a specific person.


Skill #2: Content Recycler

Get a week's worth of content from one piece you already wrote.

You already have good content sitting in your archive doing nothing. The Content Recycler takes one longer piece (a newsletter, an article, a detailed LinkedIn post) and extracts the strongest elements from it. Then it rebuilds those elements into platform-ready posts for LinkedIn, Substack Notes, Facebook, X, and client emails.

It doesn't just shorten your original piece. It identifies seven different types of extractable elements (core insights, stories, quotable paragraphs, frameworks, data points, actionable takeaways, and questions) and builds new standalone content from each one. When your audiences overlap across platforms, it pulls different angles from the same source so you're not saying the same thing twice to the same people.

Every piece comes out in your voice with compliance guardrails already in place.


Skill #3: Niche Authority Scanner

Find the content gaps your competitors don't even know exist.

You answer four questions: who you serve, your authority topics, your geographic focus, and your website URL. The Niche Authority Scanner does the rest. It searches the web for what prospects in your niche are actually searching for on Google and ChatGPT, checks what content already exists on those topics, and cross-references everything against what you've already published so it doesn't recommend topics you've already covered.

The output is a prioritized content plan saved to your folder. Each recommended topic includes the exact search query a prospect would type, a suggested article title in your voice, what competition exists, why the topic is worth your time, and what format to use. Topics you've already published on go in a separate "Already Strong" section with suggestions for strengthening them.

Twenty-five percent of high-income prospects are already using AI to find their financial advisor. This Skill shows you exactly what to publish so you show up when they search. Run it once a quarter to keep your content strategy focused on what actually drives visibility.


Skill #4: Content Generator

Go from "I don't know what to write" to a finished piece of content in three choices.

Tell the Content Generator your niche and what's going on in your clients' world right now. It generates 10 topic ideas specific to your audience. You pick one. It generates 10 hooks or subject lines tailored to the platform you chose. You pick one. It writes the finished piece in your voice with compliance guardrails built in.

Works for client newsletters (with subject lines), LinkedIn posts (with Picture Test hooks), Facebook posts, and Substack Notes. Every piece reads like you wrote it because the Skill re-reads your Voice Template before writing every single draft.

After saving your first piece, the Skill asks if you want to create content for another platform using the same topic. Say yes and it skips the setup, jumps straight to hooks for the new platform, and writes the next piece. One session. Multiple platforms. No starting over.

This is the Skill you'll use the most. The blank screen is the reason most advisors stop creating content. The Content Generator makes that problem disappear.


More Skills Coming

These four Skills work as a connected system. Each Skill's output feeds the next.

The Voice Training Skill builds your foundation. Every other Skill reads from the Voice Template it creates. The Niche Authority Scanner tells you what to write about. The Content Generator writes it. The Content Recycler distributes it across every platform you use.

More Skills are coming. Each one plugs into this system and adds another piece to the workflow.

Difficult Conversation Starter — Generate conversation openers for the client discussions you've been putting off. Fee conversations, family dynamics, life transitions, uncomfortable portfolio decisions.

Client Email Library Builder — Build a complete library of email templates for every type of client communication, all written in your voice with compliance guardrails.

Referral Introduction Drafter — Write the warm introduction email between your client and their CPA, attorney, or other professional. Gets the tone right without sounding too formal or too casual.

And more after that. Every Skill connects back to your Voice Template so the output sounds like you from day one.

What You Need

1. Claude Pro plan or higher - ($20/month from Anthropic). This gives you access to Claude Desktop and Cowork where Skills run.

2. Amplify for Advisors paid subscription - ($20/month on Substack). This gives you access to every Skill, plus twice-weekly newsletter issues with frameworks, prompts, and systems for using AI in your practice.

3. Your Voice Template - Skill #1 builds it for you. Everything else works better once AI knows your voice.

Questions Advisors Ask

Do I need to be technical to use these?

No. If you can download a file and follow a two-minute video, you can install and use any Skill. There's no coding, no terminal, no configuration. You install it once and then just talk to it.

Will the output be compliance-safe?

Every Skill includes compliance guardrails that keep output educational rather than prescriptive, use qualifying language, and avoid guarantees or specific product recommendations.

That said, you should always review AI output before publishing or sending to clients. The Skill gets you most of the way there. Your judgment gets you the rest.

What if I use ChatGPT instead of Claude?

Skills currently run inside Claude's Cowork, which is only available in the Claude Desktop app. ChatGPT doesn't have a comparable feature yet. If you've been thinking about trying Claude, the Skills are a good reason to start.

Can I use Skills without the Voice Template?

Technically yes, but the output won't sound specifically like you. I'd recommend starting with Skill #1 (Voice Training) and building your template first. It takes about 30 minutes and makes every other Skill significantly more useful.
