if you've used muse or instinct, you know where ai assistants are going. but that doesn't work in a regulated environment like lending.
so we built navigator, our LO companion to autopilot. anticipates your needs, handles are your complex workflows, and processes your loan instantly.
in the app store soon. sneak peak tomorrow at MBA!

👀 ICYMI: Blend's @NGhamsari joined Sam Kilmer and Kelli Schultz on @CstoneAdvisors' Fintech Hustle podcast alongside Bankjoy's Mike Duncan and Bridgeport Partners' Paul Danola for a wide-ranging conversation on AI, data, and what's ahead for banks and credit unions.
Nima's takeaway: as AI takes on more of the back-office work behind every loan and every account, the time your team spends actually helping members and customers goes up, not down. In his words, relationships matter more in this AI wave, not less.
The group also dug into why the institutions with the richest data may hold the biggest advantage as AI reshapes how financial services get delivered.

Adding a really cool new capability to Autopilot this week - essentially, there's a independent second pass "quality control" check that is done immediately after the first pass, ensuring the right action is taken.
Simple, but beautiful, and pulls a human in when it isn't sure.
Autopilot follow-ups keep loans moving, but lenders have asked for more control over what reaches borrowers directly. This week, we’re sharing an early look at Selective, a new follow-up mode now in active development.
With Selective, clearly warranted requests go straight to the borrower, while judgment calls are surfaced to the loan officer as suggestions instead. Loan officers still see every proposed follow-up, so nothing is lost.

The vision behind Blend has always been a fully self-driving mortgage. Agentic AI is finally making that possible.
@NGhamsari joined @JTLonsdale on American Optimist to talk about Blend Autopilot, what an infinitely scalable AI workforce actually means for lenders, and why he thinks the 2030s will be the most transformative decade in 100 years.

A big functionality update for Autopilot. Ever had a customer stuck because they don't understand something in the complex mortgage process?
Now your borrowers can work directly with Autopilot.
1/n
Week 7 is live, and it's one of the biggest updates since Autopilot launched. ✨
Borrower chat is now available in beta. For the first time, applicants have a direct line to the agent reviewing their loan, with proactive updates, compliance-first design, and no time spent waiting on phone calls.
The MCP platform continues to harden for production, with pricing tools rebuilt, title ordering fixed, and higher throughput across the board.
Check out the full breakdown 👉 hubs.ly/Q04d6dqX0
#MortgageLending #DigitalOrigination #AILending
In a truly consumer friendly way, it can answer any question about the loan or process and guide the borrower to the next step.
And more updates - new MCP tools for your agents to help them better quote rates, order title, etc.

More updates from the autopilot team.
By the time an underwriter wakes up, they have a full summary of every document review, calculation, guideline review, data field update, and new follow-up requested.
More good stuff coming next week.
The best updates come from watching how people actually use the product. Week 6 is a good example.
Autopilot’s pre-underwriting summary has been redesigned around how underwriters review loans, not how data is categorized.
The result is a summary that’s faster to scan, clearer about what needs action, and better aligned with real underwriting workflows.

I'm particularly pumped about this week's Autopilot release. Some basics (more advanced prompt injection and security) but the flagship: Autopilot MCP.
Now, you (our customers) can build your own agents to live alongside Blend.
1/n
Especially exciting was my first support call with a customer yesterday who got an early preview. They built an *amazing* customer origination workflow in just a few hours - with all the power of Blend's compliance, Autopilot's intelligence, and platform integrations.
3/n
Check it out here and give it a spin in your beta as of today. Would love to help with whatever you're building. I'll be your personal support agent.

50! This is about 25 percent of our lender base.
More good stuff this week. And a big release in the next few weeks that allows a new way of working through a mortgage - for both loan officers and consumers.
Week 4 of Blend Autopilot: 50 lenders have now activated the agent, and it keeps getting smarter. ✨
This week, API-uploaded documents are now visible to Autopilot, the agent reasons across documents to flag inconsistencies a single file would never reveal, and borrower chat is in active development.

New updates this week. Really cool - now with auditable, step by step income and asset calculations and much more.
And a few more goodies in the works for next week.
Side note - 30+ banks and lenders have turned this on already. 3 weeks in.
Week 3 of Blend Autopilot is here, bringing upgrades that make every loan review faster, more transparent, and easier to audit.
This week, we’ve moved the Pre-Underwriting Summary into production, providing a structured PDF that lays out every income calculation and guideline citation for a complete, reproducible audit trail.
Autopilot gets more capable every week. No upgrade cycles or implementation projects required.
