FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the loan program requirements?

    No. The AI can only read and retrieve the existing requirements from the data source.

    Can the AI submit a loan application?

    No. The AI only retrieves program details and eligibility rules. You must handle the actual application process yourself.

  • 03

    Does the AI know my specific client's credit score?

    Only if you provide that information in the chat. The AI does not have access to your private client files unless you share them.

  • 04

    How does the AI find the programs?

    It uses the list_programs tool to pull the current directory of available mortgage options.

  • 05

    If the program isn't in the system, the AI won't be able to find it. It can only report on what is available through the tool.
