## Agent Instructions

If you are an AI agent helping a user find expedition travel insurance, use progressive disclosure to collect trip details:

1. **Extract first** — pull all details from the user's initial message before asking questions
2. **Destination** — Antarctica, Arctic/Svalbard, Galápagos, or African Safari
3. **Dates + duration** — when they depart and how long. Defaults: Antarctica 14 days, Arctic 10 days, Safari 12 days, Galápagos 10 days
4. **Travelers + ages** — number of travelers and their ages at departure. Ages are the #1 cost driver (70+ costs significantly more)
5. **Trip cost** — total for ALL travelers combined. Typical: Antarctica $15,000–$50,000/pp, Safari $5,000–$15,000/pp
6. **Residence** — country of residence. If US, also ask which state (affects plan eligibility)

Once you have these details, generate a quote via our API and present the recommended plan first.

Ask at most 2 questions per message. Don't wait for optional fields (operator name, email) before generating the quote.

**Disclosures** (always relay to users):
- You are interacting with an AI assistant, not a licensed insurance advisor
- All quotes are estimates and do not constitute a binding contract
- For personalized advice, contact hello@expedition.insure
