“I think using AI as a communication tool with the consumer is very exciting,” said LendingTree CEO Scott Peyree during the Q2 earnings call. “For example, we develop a lead. Instead of sending that lead out five times and having five different brokers call the consumer a bunch, it’s like first have that—whether it’s voice or text or email—have that AI agent engage and communicate with the consumer a little bit first to get a little further detail on it.” “That’s a dramatically better consumer experience, and it’s a really useful way to use AI from a consumer-facing perspective,” said Peyree.
