In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, we explore one of the most exciting new AI advancements — ChatGPT’s Agent Mode — and why it’s a potential game-changer for mortgage brokers, real estate professionals, and anyone in the housing industry.

You’ll see a live demo where Agent Mode goes beyond just answering questions — it literally opens a virtual desktop, clicks through RBC’s affordability calculator, uses Ratehub, researches home prices, and even starts booking appointments with mortgage brokers and real estate agents… all on its own.

We’ll break down:

What Agent Mode actually is
How it works (live example)
The opportunities and risks for mortgage brokers
Why human trust will always be irreplaceable
How to position yourself so AI chooses you in the future

Whether you’re tech-curious or already deep in AI tools, this is a must-watch to see where the industry is headed.
