There’s no magic button for AI in the mortgage industry — and that’s exactly what I talk about in this episode.

In this week’s Mortgage Tech Talks, I share my full recap of the National Mortgage Conference — what I saw, what I learned, and why so many brokers are still chasing shortcuts instead of building real systems that last.

I also unpack the biggest question I kept hearing: “What’s the one AI tool I should be using?” The truth? There isn’t one. But there are ways to use AI that actually move the needle — and I walk through a few real examples of that in action.

You’ll also hear my thoughts on privacy, security, and how tech is making a real comeback in the mortgage space right now.

If you’re a mortgage broker who’s tired of surface-level “AI hacks” and wants to understand what’s actually working in our industry — this one’s for you.

In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, Tom Hall shares a special pre-conference breakdown of the Canadian National Mortgage Conference — including what to expect, which sessions to prioritize, and his own upcoming keynote, “If AI is Already Here, Why Does My Job Feel Exactly the Same?”

Whether you’re attending the conference or following from afar, this episode gives you a quick, insightful preview of the ideas shaping the future of mortgages, technology, and business in Canada.

AI Clones for Mortgage Brokers? How This Tech Could Change the Industry

In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, we dive into a futuristic—but very real—idea: AI clones. Imagine a digital version of you that clients can interact with online, ask questions, and even hear your voice respond back.

We’ll cover what AI clones are, how they work, and how mortgage brokers and financial advisors can use them today for lead generation, nurturing, and building client trust. This isn’t sci-fi. People in the Canadian financial space are already using this technology.

00:00 – Intro: What’s an AI clone?

👉 If you’re a mortgage broker, financial advisor, or just curious about how AI is reshaping client relationships, this episode is packed with insights you can’t ignore.

In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, I dive into one of the most common questions I hear at conferences and panels: “Should mortgage brokers be worried about client privacy when using AI tools like ChatGPT?”

Instead of giving the usual surface-level answer, I take a contrarian approach and unpack why many of the fears around AI privacy are more about perception than legal reality. From comparing ChatGPT to Gmail, to breaking down Canadian compliance laws, this 15-minute rant is all about challenging the myths that keep brokers from adopting powerful technology.

Whether you agree or disagree, this episode will push your thinking and hopefully unlock new opportunities for how you use tech in your business.

In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, we set out to uncover AI tools built specifically for mortgage brokers. But what started as a simple research mission turned into a much bigger realization: there aren’t really standalone AI tools just for brokers—and maybe that’s the point.

Instead, we explore how brokers are actually using tools like ChatGPT, Fathom, and voice AI dialers, and why the future of AI in the mortgage industry might be less about new standalone apps and more about embedding AI capabilities into existing platforms like Velocity and BluMortgage.

If you’ve ever wondered “What AI tools should I actually be paying attention to as a mortgage broker?”—this is the episode for you.
