Be Specific

Include details about functionality, user interactions, and data requirements. The more specific you are, the better the result.

tracks order status by order number, and escalates to human agents
when the customer types 'speak to agent'"

Iterate and Refine

Best Practices

Get the most out of Path Systems with these best practices.

Start with Templates

Use templates as a starting point. They provide a solid foundation that you can customize to fit your needs.

Use the Visual Editor

Test Before Deploying

Use Cases

24/7 Customer Support

Provide round-the-clock customer service without hiring additional staff. Answer common questions, handle order inquiries, and route complex issues to your team.

Perfect for small businesses that can't afford 24/7 staffing but want to provide excellent customer service. The chatbot handles routine inquiries while your team focuses on high-value interactions.

"Create a customer support chatbot for my small retail store that answers questions
about store hours, return policy, product availability, and order tracking.
When customers need to speak to a person, escalate to my team via email"

Train the chatbot on your FAQ, return policy, and product information. It learns your business and provides consistent, accurate answers even when you're closed.

Appointment Booking System

Automate scheduling for service businesses. Let customers book appointments online, sync with your calendar, and reduce no-shows with automated reminders.

Ideal for service-based SMBs like salons, consulting firms, home services, and healthcare practices. Eliminate phone tag and manual scheduling.

"Build an appointment booking system for my home cleaning service that shows
available time slots, collects customer address and service preferences,
syncs with my Google Calendar, and sends SMS reminders 24 hours before"

Customers can book 24/7, see your real-time availability, and receive automatic confirmations. You get organized schedules and fewer missed appointments.

Inventory & Stock Management

Track inventory levels, get low-stock alerts, and manage suppliers—all without expensive software or spreadsheets.

Essential for retail stores, restaurants, and product-based businesses. Know what's in stock, what's running low, and when to reorder—all in one place.

"Create an inventory management system for my small boutique that tracks products
by SKU, shows current stock levels, sends email alerts when items are low,
and tracks supplier contact information for easy reordering"

Import your existing inventory from spreadsheets, track sales, and never run out of popular items. Simple enough for small teams, powerful enough to scale.
