Tavant just plugged its TOUCHLESS® AI platform into Dark Matter Technologies’ Empower loan origination system, and the results could make mortgage lending significantly less painful for everyone involved.
Think of it as giving your LOS a serious intelligence upgrade. Tavant brings the AI firepower, Dark Matter brings the platform, and lenders get automation that actually works the way it’s supposed to.
What This Means for Lenders
The integration isn’t just another tech announcement destined to collect dust in your inbox. It’s designed to tackle the stuff that makes mortgage professionals want to flip their desks: repetitive tasks, manual data entry, and those soul-crushing workflow bottlenecks that turn simple loans into month-long odysseys.
Here’s what’s on the menu: automated loan setup, smart document classification, data extraction that actually understands what it’s reading, intelligent processing and underwriting, conditions management, and pre-close quality checks. Basically, all the tedious stuff that eats up your team’s time and sanity.
The real wins? Lower cost per loan, better data accuracy, and the ability to scale up production without hiring an army of new processors. It’s exception-based processing, which means the system handles the routine stuff automatically and only flags the loans that actually need human eyes on them.
Borrowers Win Too
While lenders are celebrating reduced costs and faster cycle times, borrowers get something even better: quicker approvals, fewer “we need just one more document” emails, and loan timelines they can actually plan around. Everyone’s happy, which is shockingly rare in mortgage lending.
What the People Behind It Are Saying
“We designed Empower as an open platform so partners can connect their best ideas directly to our lenders,” said Vikas Rao, CEO at Dark Matter. Translation: they built their system to play nice with others, and this integration shows exactly why that matters.
Mohammad Rashid, who heads up fintech products at Tavant, put it this way: “Tavant is focused on helping lenders transform mortgage operations with classical, generative and agentic AI-based automation that delivers measurable efficiency, higher levels of operational productivity and a far better borrower experience.” That’s a fancy way of saying they’re using every flavor of AI in the toolkit to make mortgages suck less.
When Can You Get It?
The integration is live right now, with more features planned for future rollouts. If you’re already using Empower LOS, you can tap into TOUCHLESS automation and start cutting down on manual work immediately.
In an industry that’s notorious for moving at glacier speed when it comes to adopting new technology, seeing two innovative companies team up to actually solve real problems is refreshing. Here’s hoping more partnerships follow this playbook.
