Dono

Dono operates a property records platform aimed at the title insurance and real estate transaction workflow. Its system uses AI agents to retrieve documents directly from county recorder, assessor and court websites, extract and index data from raw unstructured document images, apply encoded title search, exam and underwriting logic, and return outputs formatted for the customer's systems. Every file is verified by a title professional before delivery, and the company states it assumes liability for the output rather than handing data back for the customer to risk-check.

The platform is offered as three modules that can be used individually or together: title orders (end-to-end from order entry to a completed search or examined commitment, delivered into the customer's title production system), report generation (unbundling customer-supplied abstracts into finished reports or commitments with exceptions hyperlinked to source documents), and title plant services (building, indexing and maintaining searchable title plants, including modernizing legacy plants). A natural-language query interface, "Ask Dono," allows users to examine and underwrite title issues conversationally. The platform also presents an audit trail showing each name run, source searched and record found, with the reason it was included in or excluded from a report.

Business model

Dono sells software-plus-service title production capacity to title industry participants, delivering completed searches, examined commitments, reports and title plant build/maintenance through API, file exchange, email or direct platform access, integrated with customers' existing closing and title production systems.

Traction

The company reports cumulative volumes of 23,480 title orders completed, 2,186,218 records processed and 13,898 reports and commitments delivered, with average full-search turnaround of four hours, throughput of more than 1,700 records extracted and indexed per hour, costs 45% below a manual process, and 3.7x volume from the same team. It cites use by underwriters and national agencies and publishes a customer testimonial from Thomas & Webber.
