Friday Harbor, an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, has launched open APIs to give mortgage lenders and vendors more integration flexibility.
The new API suite makes it easy to plug Friday Harbor’s AI-powered Origination Assistant into any LOS or POS, the company says in a release. With it, lenders can bring the power of AI-assisted file review into any workflow, regardless of which loan origination system (LOS), point-of-sale (POS) platform or internal tools they use.
The APIs are fully documented and designed to support rapid onboarding, with developer-friendly guides and real-time support to help lenders and partners get up and running quickly.
“Lenders shouldn’t have to change their tech stack to get the benefits of Friday Harbor,” says Theo Ellis, CEO of Friday Harbor, in the release. “With our open APIs, they don’t have to. Now any lender or vendor can easily connect to Friday Harbor and unlock the same speed and accuracy that has helped our customers reduce file touches, cut days off their loan cycles and improve the borrower experience.”
“We saw an opportunity to accelerate our implementation of Friday Harbor using the new open APIs,” adds Andrew Badstubner, chief information officer at First Community Mortgage. “The ability to integrate on our own timeline allowed us to put AI-powered origination tools into the hands of loan teams much faster and start delivering value right away.”
In addition to embedding Friday Harbor into custom workflows, vendors such as LOS and POS providers can now use the open APIs to build native integrations that deliver Friday Harbor’s capabilities directly within their user interfaces. Once connected, lenders gain the ability to ingest any borrower document and automatically identify conditions within Friday Harbor.
They can also use Friday Harbor’s web-native experience to resolve conditions in real time and sync resolved issues and audit-ready documentation back to their system of record.
