Building Morty: The Virtual Mortgage Assistant You Didn't Know You Needed

AskMorty.ai home page
With interest rates climbing towards 7%, I found myself in a bit of a dilemma. I was considering downsizing to a smaller home, but my current mortgage had an interest rate just over 2%. Making a decision felt daunting because I didn't want to lose that fantastic rate.

At the same time, a friend of mine was planning a move. As a self-employed individual, he faced unique challenges in finding mortgage options that fit his situation. The information out there was overwhelming, and it was tough to find clear, personalized advice.

That's when the idea hit me: What if there was a way to simplify all this mortgage information? What if there was a tool that could give you personalized answers in a way that was easy to understand?

That's how AskMorty.ai was born.

The Problem with Mortgages

Mortgages are complicated. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or someone looking to refinance, there's a ton of information to sift through. Rates, terms, conditions, lender requirements – it's a lot to take in. And with interest rates fluctuating, making the right choice can feel like trying to hit a moving target.

For those of us with mortgages at low rates, like mine, the challenge is deciding if and when to refinance. High rates make refinancing less appealing, but other options might be more beneficial. The same goes for those looking into non-traditional mortgage solutions. The sheer amount of information can be paralyzing.

How Morty Works

AskMorty chat
When you chat with Morty, you're essentially having a conversation with an AI. You can ask questions like, "Should I refinance my mortgage?" or "What are my options for a non-traditional mortgage?" Morty processes your input, considers your unique circumstances, and provides tailored responses.

For example, if you ask about refinancing, Morty will look at your current interest rate, compare it with the current market rates, and suggest whether refinancing is a good move. If you're exploring non-traditional mortgages, Morty will help you understand the pros and cons of each option, from adjustable-rate mortgages to interest-only loans.
