Blend: AI Visibility Report

How AI sees Blend

Broad reach in lending AI, but depth stays shallow.

Where it wins. In Loan Origination & Lending Software, Blend surfaces more than half the time at a 53% mention rate, landing a solid rank 4 of 15. That's real coverage for a category where nCino and Encompass dominate the conversation.

Where it loses. Mortgage Lending & Origination tells a harder story: a 25% mention rate, rank 6, and zero first-pick selections. The models also consistently skip Blend when prompts get into enterprise decisions, startup fit, or budget comparisons across both categories.
