Let’s meet Doug, a loan officer.

What does a day look like for Doug?
Doug is a loan officer. Lenna is a first-time homebuyer meeting with Doug.
While Doug knows general answers, the detailed specifics around rate changes, policies, and secondary market guidelines change constantly.
As Doug searches through internal documents and secondary guidelines to answer Lenna...
Later that day, Doug answers several calls from folks interested in home equity loans, auto loans, and refinancing.
In between calls, Doug painstakingly reviews loan applications and documents to ensure the loan meets the guidelines before passing off to underwriting.
She has multiple questions about mortgage lending, interest rates, and wants to understand different loan options.
She starts to lose trust and eventually leaves the meeting unsure about whether to move forward with the loan with Doug—and maybe even the institution.
Callers expect him to instantly answer questions like:
  • What type of loan is best for me?
  • What are today's rates?
  • What exactly is a loan estimate?
  • What are points and credits?
  • How does this affect my credit score?

Unfortunately, Sharepoint, shared drives, and other folders are full of both old and new process documents, and comparing them against secondary market guidelines takes him nearly all day.

AI + Lending = the perfect pair

AI isn’t replacing humans anytime soon. But, folks who use AI will outperform those who don’t. And it’ll make them happier and more engaged at work.
