Setup
How do I set up a lending platform for my business?
Get a lending support agent live in minutes. Upload your loan policies, application guides, and FAQs into Chatref, then embed the widget on your lending platform. The AI answers customer questions grounded in your content - no coding required. You can customize the look, connect your team through a shared inbox, and start with $50 free credit, pay only for what you use.
Onboard your lending platform in minutes
Sign up at app.chatref.ai — every account gets $50 in free credit with no credit card needed. Point Chatref at your document sources: upload PDFs of lending policies, rate sheets, or application checklists; paste URLs of your loan product pages; or submit a sitemap. The platform indexes everything automatically, so your AI agent can answer questions immediately. This turns your existing loan management software setup into a self-service knowledge hub without any technical work.
Customize the widget for your lending brand
Once your content is in place, make the chat widget feel native to your lending brand. Set the primary color to match your logo, upload your own icon, and write a welcome message that reflects your loan services (e.g., “Ask us anything about rates, applications, or requirements”). These controls are on every account — no extra charge for branding removal and no feature gates. A lending software configuration that looks professional builds trust with applicants.
Manage lending conversations via the shared inbox
Your team can monitor every chat in real time from the shared inbox. Loan officers see the full conversation context, so when an AI agent hands off a complex question — like an unusual eligibility edge case — they step in seamlessly. The shared inbox keeps all discussions in one place, letting you scale support without scaling headcount. The AI handles routine lending platform setup questions, freeing your people for high-value conversations.
Build and maintain your knowledge base
A lending knowledge base needs to stay current as products and regulations change. Add new documents or re-sync your sitemap at any time; Chatref re-indexes automatically. You can also retrain agents to prioritize updated content. This keeps answers about interest rates, loan terms, or compliance rules accurate without constant manual review. That’s the power of a knowledge base grounded in your own content, not generic web search.
