Start with the task that costs you the most time each week, and try it on a small, non-confidential sample first.
Which workflow fits?
Check a construction loan draw request line by line against the budget and invoices with AI
Draw reviews come down to the same checks every month: does each requested dollar sit on an approved budget line with an invoice behind it, does the remaining balance still cover the work left, and is retainage held the way the loan documents say. Paste the borrower's request, the approved loan budget, your own draw history and the invoice list into Copilot in Excel or Claude and have it build a line-by-line reconciliation with an exception list. The inspector's site report, title and lien checks, and the funding decision stay with the lender's team.
AI assists The table only reconciles the numbers you paste. Physical progress comes from the inspector's site visit, and title, lien, insurance and loan-covenant checks follow your loan procedures and counsel. Not lending, legal or accounting advice. Keep borrower files in tools your institution has approved.
