Tavant Launches TOUCHLESS AI Suite: Revolutionizing Mortgage Origination
Tavant Unveils TOUCHLESS: A New Era for AI-Powered Mortgage Origination
In a significant advancement for the financial technology sector, Tavant, a prominent provider of fintech solutions, has recently introduced its innovative TOUCHLESS AI Mortgage Origination Suite. This groundbreaking technology is designed to fundamentally transform the entire mortgage origination process, offering an end-to-end AI-driven solution that spans from initial lead generation to the final funding of a loan. The unveiling marks a pivotal moment, promising to reshape how lenders and borrowers interact within the complex mortgage landscape.
The Genesis of TOUCHLESS: Addressing Industry Challenges
The mortgage industry has long grappled with the dual challenges of delivering a seamless borrower experience and managing escalating origination costs. Traditional processes often involve extensive paperwork, manual reviews, and prolonged cycle times, leading to inefficiencies and potential applicant frustration. Tavant’s Head of TOUCHLESS, Mohammad Rashid, underscored these issues, stating, "The industry's promise of seamless borrower experience and lower origination cost has often fallen short." The TOUCHLESS suite is Tavant's comprehensive answer to these persistent problems, aiming to bridge the gap between aspirational promises and tangible outcomes through the strategic application of artificial intelligence.
Key Features and Modules of the TOUCHLESS Suite
The TOUCHLESS suite is not merely a single tool but a comprehensive ecosystem of modules engineered to integrate seamlessly with existing Loan Origination Systems (LOS) and Point of Sale (POS) platforms. This modular approach allows lenders to incrementally upgrade their infrastructure, fostering a gradual yet profound digital transformation.
Agentic AI Assistants
A cornerstone of the TOUCHLESS suite is its deployment of Agentic AI assistants. These intelligent agents are designed to automate and streamline various aspects of the mortgage process, providing support and guidance throughout, reducing the burden on human loan officers and underwriters.
AI-Powered Document Analysis
Manual document review is often a bottleneck in mortgage origination. The TOUCHLESS suite incorporates advanced AI-powered document analysis capabilities, which can rapidly process, verify, and extract crucial information from a multitude of documents, significantly accelerating the underwriting process and minimizing errors.
AI-Assisted Underwriting
Underwriting, a critical phase, benefits immensely from AI integration. With AI-assisted underwriting, the system can perform data consistency checks, automate conditions clearing, and apply "Policy-as-Code" rules, leading to more efficient, accurate, and standardized decisions.
Dynamic Personalization
Recognizing that no two mortgage applications are identical, the TOUCHLESS suite features an Agentic AI architecture that dynamically personalizes workflows, loan products, and programs. This adaptability ensures that each borrower receives tailored support and access to the most suitable financial products, enhancing the overall experience.
MAYA: The Intelligent AI Assistant at the Core
Central to the TOUCHLESS suite’s functionality is MAYA, Tavant’s intelligent AI assistant. MAYA embodies the vision of a truly responsive and supportive AI, capable of engaging with borrowers, loan officers, and underwriters in real-time.
Enhancing Borrower Experience
MAYA provides personalized, round-the-clock support to borrowers, guiding them through complex application questions and explaining the nuances of various mortgage products and programs. It intelligently identifies instances where applicants might hesitate and intervenes proactively to offer assistance. This human-like interaction significantly reduces application errors and abandonment rates, fostering confidence and clarity for borrowers.
Boosting Underwriter Productivity
Beyond borrower support, MAYA also plays a crucial role in empowering underwriters. By combining with the suite's AI-powered document analysis, data consistency checks, automated conditions clearing, and Policy-as-Code underwriting, MAYA helps elevate underwriter productivity to unprecedented levels. Pilot programs have reported impressive results, including a 12x gain in underwriter productivity and a substantial 60% reduction in overall operational costs.
Proven Impact and Industry Recognition
The effectiveness and innovative nature of Tavant’s solutions have not gone unnoticed, garnering significant industry recognition and demonstrating tangible benefits for users.
Tangible Benefits
The collective impact of the TOUCHLESS suite translates into enhanced borrower satisfaction, increased loan volumes, and dramatically lower origination costs. This trifecta of benefits positions lenders to achieve greater profitability and market share in a competitive landscape.
IDC FinTech Rankings
Tavant’s consistent excellence in fintech has been recognized by its placement in the top 100 of the 2025 IDC FinTech Rankings for the seventh consecutive year. This consistent recognition underscores Tavant's enduring commitment to innovation and its leadership position in the financial technology sector.

The demonstration highlighted how generative AI, voice-enabled conversational AI, and advanced data security can collectively lower sales costs, increase lead conversion, and ensure stringent regulatory compliance.
