In short
PathFinder is a Chrome-based AI assistant that connects existing web systems and APIs into Agent Tools without code, and creates XGEN Canvas workflows through conversation alone. Sign-in, API connection, tool registration, and testing are automated in the browser, so the people doing the work can build the automation themselves.
What it does
What PathFinder does
Building, connecting, operating, and supporting — the AI works alongside you inside the browser
Build workflows by conversation
Describe the task you want and it adds, connects, and removes nodes on the XGEN Canvas, configuring each node's parameters as it goes
Connect tools and APIs
Connect external services as XGEN tools, detecting the APIs you need while you interact with a site and registering them as Agent Tools
Guidance on the screen
It points you through menus and helps with button clicks and input fields, so you can keep going even when you don't know where to click
Real-time support
It suggests next steps based on the screen you are on, and explains XGEN usage and workflow design as you work
How it works
Four steps, no code
From sign-in to test, browser interaction alone turns an existing system into a tool
- STEP 01
Sign in
Sign in to the target system as you normally would, and PathFinder follows the authentication flow with you
- STEP 02
Connect the API
While you interact with the screen, it watches the requests going back and forth and finds the APIs needed for the connection
- STEP 03
Register the tool
The capability it detected is registered as an Agent Tool an AI agent can call
- STEP 04
Test
Run the registered tool immediately, confirm it behaves, then attach it to a workflow
Use cases
When to use it
Extend legacy internal systems into AI work
Connect existing web systems like groupware and ERP as Agent Tools without touching their code, widening them into an AI working environment
Automation built by the people who do the work
No waiting on development capacity — the people who know the work register tools and build workflows straight from the browser
Fast integration without API docs
Even with no tidy API specification, screen interaction alone surfaces the integration points you need, so a PoC starts quickly
Getting started
How to start
Install it as a Chrome extension and connect it to XGEN
- 1
Prepare the extension
Download the PathFinder archive (.zip) and unpack it into a folder (including manifest.json)
- 2
Add it to Chrome
At chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode and choose “Load unpacked” to select the folder
- 3
Run and connect to XGEN
Pick XGEN PathFinder from the extension icon in the top right of Chrome, and it connects automatically when XGEN loads
Frequently asked questions
- What is PathFinder?
- PathFinder is XGEN technology that connects systems and APIs into Agent Tools an AI agent can use without code — and a Chrome-extension AI assistant that helps you build agent workflows on the XGEN Canvas through conversation. Sign-in, connection, testing, and registration are all automated in the browser.
- How does PathFinder work?
- Sign in to the target system, then interact with the screen. PathFinder detects the APIs it needs from the requests going back and forth, registers them as Agent Tools, and tests them immediately. Without writing code, four steps — sign in, connect the API, register the tool, test — turn an existing system into something an AI can use.
- Can I use it without development knowledge?
- Yes. PathFinder is designed to automate tool registration and workflow construction through browser interaction and conversation alone, so people without development experience can use it directly.
- How do I install PathFinder?
- Unpack the PathFinder archive (.zip) into a folder, then at chrome://extensions turn on Developer mode and choose “Load unpacked” to select that folder. Run XGEN PathFinder from the extension icon and it connects automatically when XGEN loads.
- Can I use an agent PathFinder built as-is?
- PathFinder is an assistant for building. After generation, we recommend reviewing the configuration against the standard agent authoring guide, and the extension only works in the browser where it is installed.
