Everyone says they’re using AI. Few are trusting it with decisions that matter, like borrower approval. Allison LaForgia talks with First Colony Mortgage’s Corey Shelley and Tidalwave’s Diane Yu about AI deployment, where the stakes are real: 700-page loan files, compliance pressure, and zero room for error. Corey Shelley and Diane Yu break down how they built AI to handle one of the most complex parts of lending, and why it’s the complex part that counts. <br /><br />Shelley described the initial challenge that led to the collaboration. “With wholesale, we were growing so fast, and margins are thin and scalability is hard,” he said. “What we saw with Diane’s product is it’s a way that we could scale, cut out a lot of time . . . without having just to keep hiring and hiring more people.” <br />#MortgageTech #AIinLending #WholesaleMortgage
