Eva AI is the industry’s first agentic AI escrow officer. It’s a dashboard with an AI-driven workflow to support the end-to-end real estate closing process.
Open escrow orders in minutes instead of hours
Automatically coordinate with lenders, HOAs, and government offices
Complete critical steps like document ordering and fund transfers with minimal manual input
Maintain security with end-to-end encryption across the transaction
At-A-Glance
As the lead product designer, I drove the 0→1 UX strategy and defined interaction patterns, designing prompts and system behaviors, and thinking through edge cases to make AI output more reliable and actionable. I shadowed Title, and Escrow Officers to understand their pain points and workflows firsthand.

Problems
The escrow process is lengthy and complex, involving 126 distinct tasks across 12 different categories that could take up to 3 days. Much of this work is manual, with limited opportunities for automation or AI support, and expanding the team to handle the workload is costly.
Design hypthoesis
Escrow officers would benefit from agentic AI that can coordinate tasks, track deadlines, and manage documentation across the entire closing process. This includes AI that can automate routine communications, flag risks or missing items, send emails on their behalf, and guide next steps—essentially acting as a workflow manager and compliance assistant to reduce manual oversight.
Business Opportunity
We saw this opportunity of build a platform that help Escrow Officers to close faster and provide visibility, turning complex manual workflow to automated process.
User Research
I interviewed 15 Escrow officers and internal business ops who deals with average of 3-5 closing a month
Journey mapping sessions with 5 Escrow officers
Cross-functional stakeholder workshops to understand technical visibility vs. user needs
Design Exploration
I initiated brainstorm session with team, assumptions are made based on user research and team expertise. Based on the assumption, I worked with PMs and engineers to ship the initial MVP in 3 months to test product-market fit.

First time experience
The interface guides the user to get started by assigning a task to Eva AI. On the right, Eva AI is turned on but has no active tasks, reinforcing that work begins once a task is assigned.
Task
The task queue ranks ongoing orders by priority, showing progress, value, and quick actions like live view or chat.
Below is a table of all orders gives a broader view of status, completion progress, and revenue, making it easy to track overall operations.
