Your Prompt
prompt.txt
Design the complete loan application and approval flow for QuickFund, a personal loan and line of credit platform.

**Product context:**
- Loan type: personal loan and line of credit
- Target borrowers: working professionals aged 25-45, credit scores 650+
- Average application time target: under 10 minutes for basic application, 24 hours to decision
- Regulatory requirements: TILA, ECOA, state lending regulations, fair lending compliance
- Framework: Next.js + React Hook Form + Tailwind

**Design the following stages:**

1. **Pre-Qualification / Eligibility Check:**
   - Soft pull consent disclosure (clear, non-intimidating language)
   - 3-5 question quick screener: income range, credit score range, loan purpose, desired amount
   - Instant eligibility result with estimated rate range
   - "Pre-qualified" badge with confidence indicator
   - If not eligible: clear reason + alternative suggestions (smaller amount, co-signer, improve credit tips)

2. **Application Form (Multi-Step Wizard):**
   - Step indicator: Personal Info then Employment then Financial then Documents then Review
   - Auto-save on every field change (no lost progress)
   - Smart field pre-fill from linked bank account (Plaid/MX integration prompt)
   - Real-time validation with helpful error messages (not just "invalid input")
   - Conditional fields: show/hide based on employment type, loan purpose
   - Progress persistence: resume from any device with SMS/email magic link
   - Estimated time remaining per step

3. **Document Upload Center:**
   - Required documents checklist with status (uploaded, verified, needs resubmission)
   - Drag-and-drop upload with camera capture on mobile
   - Document type auto-detection (ID, pay stub, bank statement)
   - Image quality check: blur detection, readability warning before submission
   - Secure upload indicators (encryption badge, data handling disclosure)
   - Missing document reminders via email/SMS

4. **Application Review & Submission:**
   - Full application summary in readable format (not a form repeat)
   - Edit buttons next to each section for quick corrections
   - Terms and conditions with key points highlighted (not just a wall of text)
   - E-signature integration with legal compliance
   - Submission confirmation with application reference number and timeline expectations

5. **Applicant Status Dashboard:**
   - Visual pipeline: Applied then Under Review then Documents Verified then Decision then Funded
   - Current step highlighted with estimated completion time
   - Action items: outstanding documents, additional info requests
   - Communication log: all messages between applicant and underwriter
   - Option to withdraw application

6. **Admin/Underwriter Approval Interface:**
   - Application queue with priority scoring and age indicators
   - Side-by-side view: application data left, documents right
   - Risk assessment summary: credit score, DTI ratio, employment stability score
   - Decision buttons: Approve, Conditional Approve (with conditions), Decline (with reason selection)
   - Compliance checklist: required disclosures sent, fair lending checks passed

7. **Next.js + React Hook Form + Tailwind Implementation:**
   - Form state management with step-level validation
   - File upload component with chunked upload for large documents
   - Status polling or WebSocket for real-time status updates
   - Accessible form controls meeting WCAG 2.2 AA
   - Mobile-first responsive design (60%+ of applicants are on mobile)

The application flow should feel like a conversation, not a government form. Reduce anxiety at every step.

What this prompt does

This prompt designs the complete loan application and approval journey for your lending product. You provide [product_name], [loan_type], [target_borrowers], [time_target], [regulations], and [framework], and it designs every stage: pre-qualification, a multi-step application wizard, a document upload center, application review and submission, an applicant status dashboard, an underwriter approval interface, and [framework] implementation notes.

The structure works because lending flows are where applicants either drop off or push through, and each stage has a specific anxiety to defuse. The prompt designs a soft-pull pre-qualification with clear consent language, an auto-saving wizard so progress is never lost, and document upload with quality checks and auto-detection. It ties consent and disclosure language to your [regulations] and targets your [time_target] for completion, with the explicit goal that the flow feels like a conversation, not a government form.

When to use it

  • You're building a lending product and need the full application-to-disbursement journey designed.
  • Applicants are dropping off and you need a pre-qualification soft pull and auto-saving wizard to keep them.
  • You need a document upload center with quality checks and auto-detection of IDs and pay stubs.
  • Your [regulations] (TILA, ECOA, fair lending) require specific disclosures built into the flow.
  • You need both an applicant status dashboard and an underwriter approval interface designed.
  • You want [framework] guidance for multi-step form state, chunked uploads, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility.

Example output

You get a stage-by-stage journey design: a pre-qualification screener with soft-pull consent and an instant eligibility result (or a clear reason and alternatives if declined); a multi-step wizard with auto-save, smart pre-fill, conditional fields, and resume-by-magic-link; a document upload center with drag-and-drop, camera capture, auto-detection, and blur/quality checks; a readable review-and-submit step with e-signature; an applicant status pipeline (Applied → Under Review → Verified → Decision → Funded); an underwriter queue with side-by-side data and documents and decision buttons; and [framework] implementation notes.

Pro tips

  • Set [loan_type] precisely; a personal loan, mortgage, and business line of credit need different fields and disclosures.
  • Use [target_borrowers] to tune tone and complexity to who's actually applying.
  • Make [time_target] realistic — it drives how aggressively the wizard pre-fills and trims fields.
  • Name your real [regulations] so consent language and disclosures are built into the right stages, not bolted on.
  • Keep the auto-save and resume-by-link features; abandoned applications are the biggest leak in lending funnels.
  • Match [framework] to your stack and prioritize the mobile-first, WCAG 2.2 AA notes since most applicants are on phones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include a soft credit pull for pre-qualification?
Yes. The pre-qualification stage is designed around a soft-pull consent disclosure with clear, non-intimidating language, a short screener, and an instant eligibility result with an estimated rate range — so applicants can check without affecting their credit score.
How does it prevent applicants from abandoning the form?
Through auto-save on every field change, smart pre-fill from a linked bank account, conditional fields that hide irrelevant questions, and resume-from-any-device via an SMS or email magic link. These features directly target the drop-off that kills lending funnels.
Does it cover regulatory compliance?
It builds consent language and disclosures around whatever you list in `[regulations]`, such as TILA, ECOA, and fair lending rules, and includes a compliance checklist in the underwriter interface. It is a design aid, not legal advice — have counsel review your actual obligations.
Is the application flow mobile-friendly?
Yes. The implementation notes specify mobile-first responsive design (on the assumption that most applicants are on phones), camera capture for document upload, chunked uploads for large files, and accessible form controls meeting WCAG 2.2 AA.
