Example Use Cases

- Sales: Identify the approved discount levels based on the enterprise vs commercial segments.

Design Considerations
Design time
- Must branch using multiple-choice slot (<12 preconfigured options)
- Must select a chat-friendly "snippet" (not a full article)
- Must end Path after providing a snippet.
- Must wait ~4 hours for new snippets to appear
- May configure plain text responses instead of KBs
Run time
- Bot will show Path with other skills in adaptive response
- Bot will ask all questions sequentially & will not βshortcutβ
- Bot will take user to smart handoff if article insufficient
