Blend Labs Launches Commercial Customers for Blend Autopilot
Blend Labs announced the first commercial customers for Blend Autopilot following a four-month early preview. This comes after a 4-month preview period, where lenders activated Autopilot across more than 25,500 loans and provided feedback that shaped weekly product releases. More than half of mortgage origination activity happens outside of 9-to-5 business hours. Autopilot aims to solve this by reviewing documents as they are uploaded, comparing them against lending guidelines so lenders resolve issues while borrowers are still completing their application. Onity Mortgage is also expanding its work with Blend beyond pre-underwriting. The company plans to use Blend's MCP Server, which allows lender-built agents and applications to securely access Blend capabilities and loan information, to support new AI-powered customer service experiences.
