AFG Unveils AssistAI Document Intelligence Tool
The AI tool pre-fills mortgage fact-finds from customer documents and will reach brokers via BrokerEngine Plus in the new year.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Artificial Intelligence
AFG unveiled AssistAI Document Intelligence, an AI tool that reads customer documents such as payslips, residential history and financial information to pre-fill mortgage fact-finds. It was announced at the AFG Next national broker conference at Crown Melbourne.
Why it matters
The tool targets the manual data entry that slows mortgage applications, with automated checks designed to flag incomplete information and discrepancies across documents. It is part of the BrokerEngine Plus platform within the Suite360 technology offering.
AssistAI Document Intelligence reads uploaded payslips, residential history and financial documents, extracting relevant details to populate the mortgage fact-find. Pricing and accuracy benchmarks have not been disclosed.
The players
AFG
AFG is an Australian mortgage broking aggregator that provides technology, compliance and business support to a national network of brokers.
The details
Customers upload supporting documents, and the system reads and combines them before extracting relevant details into the fact-find. Automated verification checks then flag incomplete information and discrepancies across the documents.
Timeline
9 to 12 November 2026: AFG Next national broker conference held at Crown Melbourne, Melbourne.
11 November 2026: AssistAI Document Intelligence announced and presented to brokers.
New year (2027): Tool becomes available to brokers through BrokerEngine Plus.
2027: Next AFG Next conference scheduled in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Tech Race
AssistAI extends AFG's BrokerEngine Plus, part of the Suite360 technology offering, by adding automated document reading to the broker workflow. It places AFG's broker platform alongside other mortgage technology providers adopting AI to reduce manual data entry.
Brokers using BrokerEngine Plus may spend less time manually entering applicant details into mortgage fact-finds once the tool is available. The automated checks are designed to surface missing or conflicting information before a file moves further through the application process.
The takeaway
Brokers can prepare for AI-assisted fact-finds by keeping customer documents such as payslips and residential histories complete and consistently formatted before uploading. Checking for discrepancies early reduces delays when the tool becomes available.
What happens next
AssistAI Document Intelligence is scheduled to become available to brokers through BrokerEngine Plus in the new year, and the next AFG Next conference is set for Auckland in 2027.
