Overview
For lenders and mortgage brokers, the borrower intake process remains a major bottleneck. Between collecting pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and verifying employment, even pre-qualifying an applicant often requires multiple rounds of emails, document uploads, and clarification. The process is time-consuming, error-prone, and frustrating for borrowers, especially those doing it for the first time and may be unfamiliar with the terminology or paperwork involved. Worse, every delay risks abandonment or pushes applicants toward simpler alternatives or competitors.
Instead of sending static intake forms or relying on manual follow-ups, mortgage teams can deploy intelligent agents that walk borrowers through the entire application journey in a dynamic, conversational format. These AI agents don’t just collect basic contact info.
Nolana AI agents ask clarifying questions about income type, surface common documentation requirements based on borrower profile (e.g. self-employed vs. salaried), and flag incomplete inputs in real time.
Beyond intake, Nolana’s AI agents automates follow-ups when documents are missing, triggers status updates as applications move through processing, and even creates draft summaries for internal stakeholders. As a result, Nolana helps lenders:
