The Hitchhiker’s Guide to AI in Mortgage Lending with LenderLogix

AI has officially entered the mortgage universe, and most of us are still trying to figure out where it’s actually taking us. There’s a lot of noise, a lot of bold claims, and not a lot of clarity on what’s genuinely useful versus what just sounds impressive. LenderLogix CEO Patrick O'Brien provides a practical field guide, breaking down what AI actually looks like inside mortgage tech today, where it’s already driving efficiency and improving borrower experience, and how to spot real value inside the systems you’re already using.  He also talks about why personal experimentation matters, how teams can move off repetitive busywork, and what skills will matter as things keep evolving. No hype, no panic, just a clear way to think about where AI fits into your day-to-day and where it’s headed next. Originally aired live on 4/14/2026
