## Overview

In this example, we'll create a restaurant Q\&A bot, covering conversation flow, nodes, prompts, and testing agent responses—showcasing Pathors basics.

## Steps

1. **Set Up Conversation Flow and Nodes**
   * Design the conversation flow with nodes and edges.
   * Set a welcome message in the start node, e.g., "Hello, I am the smart assistant of Dongfeng Restaurant."
   * Allow users to ask questions.

2. **Configure Prompts and Conditions**
   * Add prompts to nodes, including restaurant info (business hours, phone, etc.).
   * Route the conversation to different nodes based on user questions, customizing responses.
   * You can pre-configure tools or knowledge base (covered in later tutorials).

3. **Design the End Node**
   * Set a closing message for the end of the conversation, such as "Thank you" or an invitation to fill out a survey.

4. **Test Agent Responses**
   * Ask questions like "What are your restaurant's business hours?" to verify the agent responds correctly based on the prompts.

5. **Advanced Settings**
   * Use Global Prompts to adjust tone, timezone, etc.
   * Choose Execution Mode: Smart mode for adaptive pathway navigation, Balance mode for cost-efficient processing, or Turbo mode for faster monolithic inference.
