Introduction

Integrated seamlessly into the Connective CRM and Research App, this tool empowers you to deliver accurate and efficient answers to your and your clients' questions. With support for over 14 leading Australian lenders and plans to expand to 20 lenders by February 2025, Connective AI is transforming the way you handle complex scenarios.

Accessing Connective AI

To access Connective AI, simply click the "Ask Connective AI" button located in the top navigation of the CRM and Research App. This launches a dynamic modal interface designed for seamless interaction. The modal allows you to pose detailed and multifaceted questions about lending policies, general lender terms and conditions, forms, and other important documents, ensuring prompt and accurate responses.

Capabilities of Connective AI

Connective AI is meticulously designed to:

  1. Provide Accurate Policy Information: The tool retrieves and interprets relevant data directly from associated lender files, including policies on income types, security types, terms, and conditions.

For instance, the tool can calculate commissions over time based on different lending scenarios or answer queries like, "How much will I earn if I go with this specific lender over 6 years?" or "Which lender provides the highest commission for my client's scenario?"

  6. Support Conversational Interaction: This progressive AI model enables you to refine your queries and build on previous answers, creating a conversational flow that helps narrow down information based on your needs.
