The AI Riff (Ep7 MidRiff)

🚨 Mortgage AI Arms Race: Are You Ready? 🚨

UWM’s MIA + LEO.
Better.com’s Tin Man.
CoreLogic’s Ollie.

One by one, the industry’s biggest players are wiring AI into every inch of the loan stack—slashing back-office drag and hunting sub-$5K cost-per-loan.

Should you worry you can't compete?
But here’s the real question 👉 Who stitches these layers together first, and who gets stitched up?

Episode 7.5 of The AI Riff (our mid-week “MidRiff”) breaks it all down:

1️⃣ Targeted AI ≠ Hype – Success lives in narrow, well-scoped wins (think “loan-estimate sniper,” not a sci-fi robo-LO).
2️⃣ The Moat Myth – Most solutions have zero moat. Expect rapid copy-and-paste adoption across vendors.
3️⃣ Small & Mid-Size Lenders – Your edge won’t be writing code; it’ll be orchestrating best-in-class point tools before they become table stakes.
4️⃣ Hidden Cost Center – Half of every loan’s expense is still LO comp. AI-driven lead funnels could rewrite that math faster than any ops bot.

If you’re serious about building “the next Salesforce of mortgage,” this 20-minute riff is your front-row seat. 🎧

👇 Tune in, drop a comment, and tell us which AI layer you think moves the ROI needle first.
