The short version
Tidalwave’s SOLO is a polished, borrower-facing point-of-sale experience: a conversational, multilingual flow that helps applicants complete a verified application quickly, with real-time income, employment, and asset checks. It’s aimed at the front door of origination — and it complements an operations platform well.
Sei automates the lender’s side of the loan. The same managed platform runs sales voice and LO appointment booking, calculates rep-and-warrant-eligible income through Fannie’s Income Calculator, underwrites with cited conditions, automates the Closing Disclosure, runs post-close QC, and handles FDCPA-compliant servicing — integrating with the POS you already run.
WHAT TIDALWAVE DOES
Tidalwave’s SOLO is an agentic-AI mortgage point-of-sale (POS) platform with a conversational assistant that guides borrowers through application, verification, and document collection.

Where Sei is different
Fully managed, end to end
Sei builds, deploys, and runs the agents and workflows for you — from the first sales call through underwriting, closing, and post-close QC. You get outcomes, not a toolkit to configure, typically live in weeks.
Rep-and-warrant-eligible income
Income is calculated across W-2, self-employed (Schedule C, K-1, S-corp, 1099), rental, and retirement income, with Fannie Mae Income Calculator integration — so eligible calculations earn representation-and-warranty relief and lower repurchase risk.
Closing and QC built in
Closing Disclosure automation with TRID timing and fee-tolerance checks, plus pre-close and post-close QC with agency- and investor-ready audit trails — the same platform that originated and underwrote the loan.
Where Tidalwave fits
- Fast, multilingual borrower application experience at point of sale
- Real-time verification of income, employment and assets during application
- Mortgage-only design with traceable, recorded AI conversations for review
When Sei is the better fit
- You want to automate the lender’s operation, not only the application front door
- You want underwriting, income, closing and QC on one managed platform
- You want agent-driven sales and servicing voice plus 100% call QA
