Mortgage technology commentary is increasingly focused on whether CRMs can adapt as AI becomes embedded in the advice process. The strategic shift is from a database that stores notes and documents to a system that supports timely servicing, workflow management, compliant communications and better use of client data.

- Data quality: poor records will produce poor AI outputs.
- Governance: define permitted AI use, access rights and audit trails.
- Consumer Duty: use automation to improve understanding and outcomes, not merely reduce handling time.
