Tavant, a leading platform-powered AI transformation specialist, announced the integration of its TOUCHLESS® AI Mortgage Automation platform with the Empower® loan origination solution (LOS) from Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology.

The integration brings Tavant’s advanced, AI-driven, automation capabilities into the Empower ecosystem, helping lenders streamline underwriting, accelerate cycle times, enhance loan quality and extend Tavant’s exception-based, data-driven, loan decisioning to Empower LOS users. Operational gains for lenders include reduced cost per loan, automation of repetitive and time-intensive tasks, improved data accuracy and consistency through standardized AI-powered automation and the ability to scale loan production without proportional increases in headcount. Borrowers benefit as well, experiencing faster approvals, fewer documentation requests and more transparent, predictable loan timelines.

“We designed Empower as an open platform so partners can connect their best ideas directly to our lenders. Tavant's TOUCHLESS integration is a strong example of the innovation an open platform makes possible, giving lenders more ways to automate and close faster,” said Vikas Rao, chief executive officer at Dark Matter.

The integration is designed to help lenders automate key stages of the mortgage lifecycle, including loan setup, document classification, data extraction and intelligent comprehension, processing, underwriting, conditions management and pre-close quality checks. By reducing workflow fragmentation and manual handoffs, the solution supports faster decision-making, greater consistency, and a more connected loan manufacturing process.

“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,” said Mohammad Rashid, head of fintech products, Tavant. “Our integration with Dark Matter extends that vision by augmenting the Empower LOS with TOUCHLESS automation capabilities, making it easier for lenders to adopt agentic workflows, exception-based processing and automated underwriting and decisioning.”
