TL;DR
This agent automates the review of loan and credit application documents, detects inconsistencies and fraud risks using AI, and routes high-risk cases for human review while logging low-risk cases for record-keeping.
What It Does:
- Ingests and processes uploaded loan application documents (including scanned files with OCR). 
- Analyzes documents with an AI model trained to spot inconsistencies, fraud indicators, and risk factors. 
- References a knowledge base of fraud indicators and performs web searches for up-to-date verification. 
- Classifies applications as high-risk or low-risk using an AI routing node. 
- Automatically notifies reviewers via email for high-risk applications. 
- Logs low-risk applications to Google Drive for compliance and tracking. 
Who It’s For:
- Loan officers and underwriters 
- Credit risk teams 
- Financial institutions and banks 
- Compliance and fraud detection teams 
Time to Value:
- Immediate: Upload documents and get a risk assessment, summary, and routing decision in minutes—no manual review required. 
Output:
- For high-risk applications: - Detailed AI findings and recommendations 
- Automated email alert to the reviewer 
 
- For low-risk applications: - AI summary and risk assessment 
- Record automatically created in Google Drive 
 
Common Pain Points for Closing

- Fraud indicators are often missed due to volume or lack of expertise 
- High-risk cases may not be escalated promptly 
- Record-keeping for compliance is tedious 
- Difficulty in keeping up with new fraud tactics and up-to-date information

Step-by-Step Build (StackAI Nodes)
1) Files Node (doc-0)
What it does:
- Accepts user-uploaded files (PDFs, images, etc.). 
- Extracts and processes text, including OCR for scanned documents. 
Goal:
- Provide all document content for downstream AI analysis. 
2) LLM Node (llm-0)
What it does:
- Analyzes the uploaded documents. 
- Detects document types, checks for missing/expired/non-compliant items. 
- Outputs a checklist with status symbols and a summary. 
Goal:
- Automate expert-level review and checklist generation. 
Instructions
Prompt
3) Python Node (python-0)
What it does:
- Receives the LLM’s checklist output. 
- Checks for the presence of ❌ or ⚠️ symbols. 
- If issues are found, passes the checklist through; otherwise, outputs an empty string. 
Goal:
- Ensure only problematic checklists trigger notifications. 
4) Template Node (template-0)
What it does:
- Formats the checklist and review summary in markdown. 
- Uses the Python node’s output, so only displays/sends the checklist if issues exist. 
Goal:
- Create a user-friendly, professional report for output and email. 
5) Output Node (out-0)
What it does:
- Displays the formatted checklist and review summary to the user. 
Goal:
- Provide immediate, clear feedback in the app. 
6) Send Email Action Node (action-0)
What it does:
- Sends an email with the checklist if issues are found. 
- Uses a pre-configured Gmail connection and sends to a specified recipient. 
Goal:
- Automatically alert stakeholders when action is required. 
7) Sticky Note Node (stickynote_v2-0)
What it does:
- Provides a visual summary and instructions within the workflow builder. 
Goal:
- Help users understand the workflow’s purpose and logic.
