Seamlessly Integrating AI: The Key to Business Agility and Innovation
February 24, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s a present-day necessity for businesses looking to remain competitive. Organizations that successfully integrate AI into their existing systems gain an unparalleled advantage in efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making. However, integrating AI quickly and seamlessly remains one of the biggest challenges, especially as AI technologies evolve at a rapid pace.
At Brimma, we understand that AI’s value lies not only in its power but in its adaptability. The businesses that will thrive in the coming years are those that can implement AI quickly, derive value immediately, and pivot just as fast when new innovations emerge. One of the most effective ways to achieve this level of agility is through a declarative programming approach, which simplifies AI integration, minimizes disruptions, and allows businesses to focus on strategic growth rather than technical roadblocks.
The Need for AI Integration: Why Fast, Seamless Adoption Matters
AI is transforming industries by automating processes, improving decision-making, and enhancing customer interactions. For example, Brimma’s Vallia AI solutions are designed to automate underwriting, streamline document processing, and enhance borrower experiences. But for AI to truly deliver on its promise, it must integrate seamlessly with existing core systems such as loan origination software (LOS), customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, and data validation tools.
At Brimma, we believe AI needs to meet you where you already work.
Challenges of AI Integration
Already, many organizations are struggling with AI adoption because:
- Their existing systems weren’t designed with AI in mind.
- They can’t envision how chat-based GPTs fit into legacy systems
- There is so much legacy tech debt, that they are afraid to “break” what they already have.
The Power of Declarative Programming in AI Integration
To overcome these challenges, businesses need a flexible and scalable approach to AI integration—this is where declarative programming comes in.
What is Declarative Programming?
Declarative programming is a method of writing software that focuses on what the system should accomplish rather than how to accomplish it. Instead of scripting complex step-by-step procedures (imperative programming), declarative programming allows AI models to operate based on rules, constraints, and expected outcomes. Simply put, declarative programming allows for faster construction of software that is of a higher quality. That is, it allows you to deliver solutions faster.
Brimma’s approach to AI integration is rooted in enabling businesses to harness AI’s power quickly while maintaining full control and adaptability. Our Vallia AI suite, including Vallia Disclose, Vallia AI DocFlow, and Vallia AUS Sandbox, is designed to integrate with any existing mortgage or financial system using a declarative, rules-based approach. This is why, unlike other vendors who are still purveying side-by-side chat assistants, Brimma is embedding AI directly into its tools so that working with AI is a natural consequence of your daily work.
Real-World Applications of Brimma’s AI Integration Approach
1) Vallia AUS Sandbox: Effortless Integration to Brimma Products
- The base AUS Sandbox system was built well before CPTs and AI were stable enough to leverage.
- Brimma’s programming approach allowed a new AI assistant to be integrated in one day.
- The AUS Sandbox can fully leverage the AI (which evaluates AUS findings) while still operating completely independent of the AI.
2) Vallia AI DocFlow: Effortless Integration to POS/LOS/Borrowers/Vendors
- Mortgage lending involves thousands of documents that require classification, validation, and verification.
- Vallia AI DocFlow automatically processes and verifies documents, to determine whether a document aligns to the loan application and to other documents.
- Relatedly, in its 8+ year existence, Brimma has built nearly every possible type of system interface
- The design for how documents “get to” DocFlow and where documents “go to” depending on their quality is 100% declarative programming that leverages all of Brimma’s previous integrations.
The Competitive Edge: AI-First, Not AI-Forced
Brimma’s approach ensures that AI is a natural extension of a business’s existing processes rather than an external force that disrupts operations. By leveraging declarative programming, our AI solutions:
- Integrate seamlessly without forcing businesses to abandon their current systems.
- Adapt to change effortlessly, ensuring companies stay ahead of market shifts.
- Enhance decision-making, reducing the complexity of AI adoption.
Brimma’s Resources: Making AI Integration Happen in Days, Not Months
Brimma takes a customer-first approach to AI integration, ensuring businesses can quickly deploy AI solutions without extensive implementation timelines. Our lightweight SaaS tooling allows customers to integrate AI into their existing systems in days, not months.
And we’re eating our own dogfood by unwinding existing apps, where appropriate, so that they conform to a structure that will allow them to be more nimble. The power of this was evidenced recently when we took automations that had taken months to build and we pulled them apart and reconstructed them with our new framework. To be fair, we did not have to redefine the functionality, just port it into the new framework. But we were able to convert our legacy apps into the new framework in less than one week. When you combine that with the fact that we can now deploy variations of those apps almost overnight, we have achieved maximum delivery speed!
Isn’t that what you want and need to keep up with your business?!
Final Thoughts: Future-Proofing AI Integration
AI is here to stay, and its potential is only growing. However, the businesses that thrive in an AI-driven world won’t necessarily be the ones with the most advanced AI models—they’ll be the ones that integrate AI seamlessly and adapt quickly. By embracing declarative programming and leveraging Brimma’s AI-native solutions, organizations can accelerate AI adoption, drive efficiency, and stay agile in an evolving technological landscape.
