Figure (FIGR) Bets AI Agents Can Rescue Trillions in Stalled Home Loans

Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) partnered with Sierra to deploy an AI agent aimed at increasing the completion rate of home equity loan applications. The agent, built on Sierra's Horizon platform, improved loan conversion rates by 30-52% in a pilot program. Figure reported strong Q2 2026 growth with $4.3B in loan volume and $226M in revenue, but noted risks including a declining net take rate and market dependence on HELOC and home values.
