About
Friday Harbor, an AI-first startup supported by the AI2 Incubator, sought to improve mortgage underwriting efficiency. By using a multi-agent AI framework, Friday Harbor aimed to automate underwriting tasks by breaking them into manageable stages, each handled by a dedicated AI agent. We partnered with Friday Harbor to design one of the AI agents and integrate it into the broader system, helping the company finish their MVP.
Challenge, approach, and impact
Building a Specialized AI Agent
The development required a blend of expertise to determine where traditional calculations could suffice and where AI had to step in to deliver accurate and reliable outcomes aligned with the use case.
Tackling Complexity at the Intersection of AI and Financial Workflows
The project called for a combination of advanced software development, AI expertise, and deep financial domain knowledge. The critical part involved analyzing the underwriting process in detail to define each agent’s role, determine how outputs would connect, and establish a seamless handover process between agents.
