The company aims to reduce production costs to under $1,000 per mortgage, but details on staffing changes and cost methodology remain unclear.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Better's push to automate most lending processes lands you a test: partner decisions now hinge on trusting AI-driven operations to deliver savings and speed. If you work with mortgage tech or lending platforms, consider re-evaluating your reliance on human-heavy processes before the AI-first wave makes those obsolete.
