Draper Goren Launches Free AI-Ready Database of 224,000 Loan Officers
LenDb.ai offers a lender-neutral directory of U.S. loan officers designed for AI assistants, managed by an AI chief executive.
Draper Goren, a proptech-focused studio with 10 portfolio companies, has launched LenDb.ai, a free database cataloging 224,000 U.S. loan officers built specifically to serve AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.

Draper Goren's approach positions LenDb.ai as infrastructure for the emerging layer of AI-driven mortgage and real estate guidance, where consumers increasingly turn to chatbots for financial referrals.

Draper Goren's proptech studio context suggests the platform is intended to complement, not replace, the licensed professionals it indexes.
