Who it's for

Close on time, without the chase.

Blackbird's AI asks each party for exactly what their role owes, reads what comes back, and tracks what is still outstanding. Your closer reviews the exceptions.

Parties on a single transaction can be individuals or entities, and each needs a different set of documents — including lienholders you have no prior relationship with.

How Blackbird runs it

Six stages, mapped to this workflow.

Describe it once. Blackbird builds it, runs it, and keeps a record of every step — against your requirements, not a fixed template.

01

Build

Define the closing checklist, the parties, and what each one owes.

02

Collect

Request payoffs, IDs and lien evidence from lenders, sellers and lienholders.

03

Understand

Read the title commitment, extract exceptions and requirements.

04

Validate

Reconcile payoff figures, confirm authority, check each requirement is cleared.

05

Approve

Closer or attorney sign-off, with provenance preserved.

06

Deliver

Closing file distributed to the lender and parties, ready to record.

What Blackbird collects

It asks for exactly the right documents.

You define what's required — by entity type, risk tier or jurisdiction. Blackbird then requests it from the right party, reads each document, and connects the details to the record. A typical set looks like this:

Requested from

Title examiner

What the AI reads from it

Exceptions Requirements Vesting Legal description

Then it checks

Every Schedule B requirement tracked to an owner
Who's involved

Every party, one workflow.

Complex workflows are rarely two-sided. Blackbird tracks each party’s obligations separately and chases only the one holding things up.

FAQ

Common questions.

How does Blackbird speed up title and escrow document collection?

It opens the file with a checklist of every party and what each one owes, then requests those items directly. Documents are read as they arrive, figures are extracted, and anything outstanding is chased automatically. Your closer sees a live view of what is cleared rather than assembling the picture from an inbox.

Can it request and reconcile payoff letters from multiple lienholders?

Yes, and this is usually the slowest part of a file. Each lienholder is requested separately, and Blackbird extracts the payoff amount, good-through date and per-diem from each letter, then reconciles those figures against the settlement statement. A payoff that expires before closing is flagged rather than silently used.

How does the audit trail help reduce wire-fraud and liability exposure?

Every request, document, figure and approval is timestamped and attributed to a person, and every field records the document it came from. Wiring instructions are held for out-of-band confirmation rather than actioned on receipt. Blackbird does not move funds u2014 it makes the evidence behind each instruction explicit.

Does it read the title commitment and track Schedule requirements?

Yes. Blackbird reads the commitment, extracts the exceptions and requirements, and turns each requirement into a tracked item with an owner. As curative documents arrive they are matched to the requirement they satisfy, so what remains open is always visible.

What happens when a party is an entity rather than an individual?

The document set changes, so the request changes with it. An entity party is asked for formation documents, evidence of good standing and signing authority instead of a personal ID, and Blackbird checks the signer against the authority it found.

Does Blackbird clear title or close the file?

No. It owns collection, extraction, reconciliation and completeness. Clearing an exception, accepting a curative item and closing the file remain decisions for your closer, attorney or examiner, and each one is recorded against the person who made it.

What is title and escrow document automation?

Blackbird requests payoffs, IDs and curative items from every party on a closing, then reads and validates each one. It tracks what has cleared and hands your closer a complete, time-stamped file.
