About the Client: Emerging Mortgage Services Firm in the U.S.

The client is a mid-sized mortgage services provider based in Atlanta, GA. With operations across multiple states and a growing loan portfolio, the company manages a range of customized loan programs catering to homebuyers, property investors, and condominium buyers.

The firm employs 100-150 professionals, including a team of Loan Officers who act as the first point of contact for borrowers. The client is recognized for offering flexible portfolio loan programs with complex eligibility rules and documentation requirements.

Given the nature of their work, the company deals with frequent updates to program guidelines, regulatory compliance, and strict service-level expectations. Their sales and operations teams often struggled to keep up with changing policies and respond to borrower queries efficiently.

The Challenge: A Smarter Way for Loan Officers to Access Program Information

The client approached Flatworld.ai with a clear but complex objective: to enable its Loan Officers to quickly access the most up-to-date information on various portfolio programs and condo requirements without having to dig through static documents or rely on manual back-and-forth with internal support teams.

Inputs Provided by the Client

  • A set of documents, including Portfolio Program Guidelines and Condo Requirements
  • Access to their Microsoft 365 Intranet for deployment

Deliverables Requested:

  • A conversational AI agent that could handle questions about loan programs in natural language
  • An admin dashboard with role-based controls to manage users and knowledge-base content
  • A usage analytics dashboard to track performance, accuracy, and volume of agent interactions

Solution Delivery: Building and Launching Telena in Six Structured Phases

Flatworld.ai followed a phased approach that allowed rapid prototyping, real-time feedback incorporation, and smooth deployment on the client's existing infrastructure.

1

Requirement Gathering & Planning

The team aligned with key stakeholders to define business goals, capture technical constraints, and establish the deployment environment. Clear timelines and role ownership were established at this stage.

2

Design & Prototyping

A functional prototype of the AI assistant — customized on top of the Telena framework was developed. This included setting up intents for common loan queries and drafting sample email templates for escalation.

3

Development & Integration

Telena was trained on the customer's program guidelines. To enable fast and context-aware responses, Flatworld.ai integrated vector search technology for retrieving unstructured documents. The chatbot widget was customized for compatibility with Wix and WordPress and embedded on the client's internal portal.

4

Model Fine-tuning & Optimization

Flatworld's team ran prompt tuning exercises and tested Telena with real queries from Loan Officers. The model was repeatedly refined to improve its handling of tabular data like rate charts and program matrices.

5

Testing & UAT

Internal QA was followed by user acceptance testing with the client's team. Feedback was collected around response accuracy, response tone, and coverage of edge cases.

6

Final Rollout & Training

After going live, Flatworld.ai provided user training sessions and shared quick-start guides. The team monitored live usage for two weeks to ensure a smooth transition and performance stability.

Behind the Scenes: Key Challenges Tackled by the Flatworld.ai Team

While the project stayed on track in terms of timeline, several technical and operational complexities had to be addressed by the Flatworld team:

  • Tabular data handling: Much of the client’s program documentation included tables with variables. Translating these into accurate, conversational AI responses required additional model tuning and structured prompt design.
  • Frequent program updates: The client regularly updated their program rules, which meant the AI knowledge base had to be updated on a rolling basis. Flatworld implemented a controlled admin interface to manage and publish changes in real-time.
  • Compatibility with existing infrastructure: Ensuring Telena worked smoothly with the client’s Microsoft 365 environment and their intranet CMS (Wix/WordPress mix) required careful widget customization and cross-platform testing.

Technology Stack Used for Telena AI Deployment

Results Achieved: 3× Conversion, 80% Faster Responses, and Happier Borrowers

Post-deployment, the client reported significant gains in operational efficiency and sales productivity.

  • 80% faster response time for common borrower queries
  • 3× increase in lead conversion attributed to faster turnaround on program-related questions
  • 40% improvement in borrower satisfaction scores, driven by clearer, faster communication
  • Reduced internal support workload, allowing senior underwriters to focus on exception cases

Client Impact: Real-time Access to the Right Answers

With Telena live on their internal portal, Loan Officers ask detailed program questions and get instant, accurate responses. This replaced manual searches through static PDFs and reduced reliance on underwriting teams. Loan Officers are now better equipped to respond on the spot, improving speed, consistency, and borrower confidence during every conversation.

Takeaway: Turning Static Lending Rules into Instant, Usable Knowledge

Flatworld.ai helped the client convert complex program documentation into a live, searchable knowledge assistant. This shift not only improved operational speed but also reduced compliance risks and allowed the business to scale support without increasing headcount.
