## The Problem

Quoting a new Residential Mortgage account means pulling loss runs, building exposure schedules, and sending submissions to 6 carriers — and the carriers that respond fastest win.

## What We Build in Optimal Blue

AI builds the submission from the broker's intake, routes to carrier APIs via Encompass, and assembles the quote comparison — submission-to-proposal time drops from 5 days to same-day. Purpose-built for teams running Optimal Blue — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Optimal Blue Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Optimal Blue configuration.** We map the specific Optimal Blue objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your residential mortgage practice.
2. **Build on the Optimal Blue API or agent.** Integration happens inside Optimal Blue — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Optimal Blue with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
