I’m getting ready to apply for a mortgage later this year, and my lender basically told me I’m right on the edge of qualifying for a noticeably better rate if I can raise my score a bit more before we officially apply.

That conversation kind of freaked me out because I didn’t realize how much even a small score increase could change the monthly payment.
Right now I’m trying to do everything right. Paying balances down, checking for reporting errors, avoiding new accounts, all that stuff. But the whole process feels confusing and slow, so I started looking into some of these newer AI-based credit tools/apps. Anyone used anything similar?
