“The system’s technology begins when customers upload their first document to their secure portal,” Rocket said in a statement. Press release. “Rocket Logic uses artificial intelligence to scan and identify documents to ensure customers provide the correct documents. Once the document is uploaded, the system’s computer vision model extracts relevant information and processes the document immediately.”
