BaufiKlar

A Last Bench venture

One platform. Two paths.

The problem
A mortgage file moves between borrower, broker and bank as a slow, repetitive back-and-forth over incomplete documents.
What it’s building
A shared financing profile and document workflow that both borrowers and mortgage professionals use, with an agentic layer (Athena) that progresses files toward completeness under explicit human control.
Key concept
"Human Control" is a stated design principle, not a caveat: Athena progresses files and drafts next steps, but does not make credit decisions.
In more detail
For borrowers, BaufiKlar is a free mortgage-preparation tool: a reusable financing profile, secure document collection, and a completeness score (ReadyFile) that shows exactly how close a file is to bank-ready — no ads, data under the borrower's own control. For mortgage professionals and institutions, BaufiKlar pairs the same platform with Athena, an agentic system that helps move leads toward a complete, verified financing file through follow-ups, missing-information requests, document analysis and workflow progression, with human handover built in as a stated principle.

Important

BaufiKlar is not a bank, not a licensed mortgage broker, and makes no automated credit decisions — a distinction BaufiKlar states on its own site ("BaufiKlar ist keine Bank, kein lizenzierter Finanzierungsvermittler und trifft keine automatisierten Kreditentscheidungen").
