Pathfinder – your new AI-enabled assistant for everything integration-related.
Your personal guide when you need help fast: Welcome to Pathfinder AI, the first major highlight of our Autumn Release 25.1. New software releases often sound impressive – at least in the announcement. But in the end, only one thing matters: Does it really make your daily work easier? Does it help you work faster, more confidently, with less stress? That’s exactly what we aimed for with this release – and Pathfinder AI delivers on that promise like no other.
Imagine you’re right in the middle of an integration project. It’s complex, confusing, full of little pitfalls. Error messages pop up, the function you need is somewhere in the system – but what was it called again? And documentation? More like scattered puzzle pieces than a clear path forward.
That’s where Pathfinder steps in. Not just another tool, but a smart companion – like a mountain guide who knows the terrain, hands you the flashlight, and leads you safely to your destination.
Pathfinder understands what you need – even if you don’t know the exact term. Just describe what you’re trying to do, like “split text” or “remove duplicates,” and Pathfinder will instantly suggest the right function. No guessing, no endless searching, no frustration.
And if something goes wrong? Pathfinder even translates cryptic error messages into clear, actionable explanations – complete with a solution. You skip the hours of debugging and jump straight to the fix.
It also takes the pain out of documentation. Pathfinder automatically generates easy-to-understand descriptions of your process chains – basically your project’s trail map, ready for you and your team to use. Whether you’re onboarding new colleagues or revisiting your own work weeks later, that kind of clarity is a huge time-saver.
Whether you’re completely new to the Lobster Data Platform or a seasoned expert, Pathfinder AI helps exactly where it matters most.
For beginners, it means quicker orientation and faster first wins – without the steep learning curve. For experienced users, it removes routine tasks so you can focus on the exciting challenges. And the best part? Pathfinder gets smarter over time.
The more you use it, the better it gets. It’s on track to become a full-blown assistant – not just for error analysis, function lookup or documentation, but soon also for mapping, diagnosis, and so much more.
Pathfinder shows what software can be when it doesn’t get in your way – but clears the way for you.
Want to see Pathfinder in action? On October the 10th at 10:00 AM, Jethro Borsje will walk you through the new release live – including a hands-on demo. Right after that, there’ll be a Q&A session in both German and English, so bring your questions – whether technical, operational, or strategic.
