The chatbot prompts the customer to provide essential information, such as:

The chatbot provides immediate feedback on the pre-qualification status, informing the customer whether they are likely to qualify for a loan based on preliminary data.

Once pre-qualified, the chatbot guides the customer through the application submission process. Customers can upload necessary documents such as:

• Proof of Income
