Loanwright browser extension

Right-click any selected text to look up Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, or USDA guidelines via Loanwright. Works in Encompass web, ARIVE, Calyx Path web, Floify, agency PDF viewers, or any other web page. The extension does not read your screen and does not request host-page permissions.

On a phone or tablet? Mobile browsers do not run web extensions, so the right-click shortcut is desktop-only. Use the Guideline Lookup tool directly - same data, same citations, same rate-limited public endpoint the extension calls under the hood.

Install from source (beta)Try the lookup tool first

Chrome Web Store listing in progress. The extension is functional today as an unpacked install for early users; load instructions below.

How it works

  1. 1.You highlight text in your LOS, an agency portal, a PDF viewer, or any other page in your browser.
  2. 2.You right-click and chooseLookup "…" in Loanwrightfrom the context menu.
  3. 3.A small popup window opens beside your work with a cited answer drawn from the published agency guidelines. The same URL pattern (/tools/guideline-lookup?q=…) you would use by hand.
  4. 4.You stay in your LOS; the lookup window is a separate sized popup, not a full tab takeover. Close it when you have your answer.

What the extension is, and isn't

Does not read your screen

The extension declares no host-page permissions. It cannot access the page you are on. The only data it ever sees is the text you explicitly highlight and submit via the right-click menu.

No new data path

Selected text travels in the URL of a normal browser navigation to /tools/guideline-lookup, the same public tool anyone can use without an extension. No private API, no extra telemetry, no new abuse vector.

No account required

The extension uses the public lookup endpoint. You can install it without a Loanwright account. Public lookups are rate-limited per IP at the server level.

One click from selection to citation

Highlight text in any LOS, right-click, choose Lookup in Loanwright. A small popup window opens beside your work with a cited answer drawn from the published Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and USDA guidelines.

Loading the beta (unpacked install)

The extension is shipping today as a beta in the Loanwright repository. The Chrome Web Store listing is in progress. To use it now:

  1. 1.Clone or download the Loanwright repository and locate the extension/ folder at the repo root.
  2. 2.In Chrome or Edge, open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode (top right).
  3. 3.Click Load unpacked and select the extension/ folder.
  4. 4.Pin the extension to the toolbar so the settings page is easily reachable. Right-click the icon and choose Options to switch between popup window and new-tab open modes.

The beta build does not yet include icon assets, so Chrome shows its default puzzle-piece icon. The Chrome Web Store release will include final iconography.

Privacy in one paragraph

The extension declares no host-page permissions. It cannot read the page you are on. It cannot see your borrower data, loan files, or anything inside your LOS. The only data ever transmitted to Loanwright is the text you explicitly highlight and submit through the right-click menu, which travels as a normal browser navigation to /tools/guideline-lookup?q=…. That endpoint is the same public, rate-limited tool anyone can use without an extension. Full details in the privacy policy.

First-mover note

None of the other broker-facing AI tools surveyed during Loanwright's competitive analysis ship a browser extension that surfaces guideline citations inside the broker's existing LOS workflow. This extension exists because keeping the broker in their LOS is more valuable than dragging them into a separate web app for every question.
