The partnership brings IBISWorld’s analyst-verified intelligence across 700+ industries into Lama AI's AI-native loan origination platform, giving lenders instant, deal-specific insights
IBISWorld, a leading provider of industry research and risk intelligence, today announced a partnership with Lama AI, the AI-native loan origination platform used by banks and lenders across the country. Through the integration, IBISWorld's research across more than 700 industries and 4,000 product segments is embedded directly into Lama AI, enabling lenders to access deal-specific industry insights instantly within their underwriting workflow.
Understanding the industry behind a borrower has always been core to informed credit decisions, but historically, applying that depth to an individual deal required extensive analyst time to read, analyze and cross-reference. Through this partnership, Lama AI performs that analysis instantly, surfacing the IBISWorld data points most relevant to the specific deal and layering them on top of the bank's own proprietary information to deliver clear insights and recommendations.
Beyond accelerating existing analysis, the integration broadens what lenders can see. While credit teams typically evaluate the benchmarks and risks they set out to assess, AI-driven analysis widens that lens, surfacing relationships between borrower-specific information and broader industry trends that would otherwise take significant time to uncover.
Together, IBISWorld and Lama AI change how industry intelligence is applied in commercial lending. By transforming industry research into real-time, deal-specific intelligence, the integration eliminates hours of manual analysis while improving the depth, consistency and accuracy of every credit decision. The result is faster approvals, a better borrower experience, and a stronger competitive advantage in winning preferred business customers.
“By partnering with IBISWorld, we're bringing actionable insights from one of the industry's most trusted research sources directly into the AI workflow lenders already use every day," said Omri Yacubovich, CEO and Co-Founder at Lama AI. “This partnership reflects Lama AI's strategy of embedding best-in-class data sources directly into AI-powered lending workflows, enabling banks to make faster, better-informed credit decisions without changing their preferred sources of data.”
"IBISWorld’s human-verified data and analysis is built for bankers to make better decisions about credit and risk, and this partnership puts our research where those decisions actually happen," said Neil Richards, VP of Partnerships at IBISWorld. "Lama AI's platform gives us a way to reach lenders directly inside their underwriting process, which is exactly where industry intelligence should live."
