Pathmode is the first computed journey management platform that turns user research and friction directly into executable feature specs. Most journey maps are static artifacts—beautiful PDFs that get outdated the moment they're finished. Pathmode replaces manual mapping with a "Live Circuit" between your user signals and your engineering backlog. Instead of asking designers to "draw" a map, Pathmode helps teams compute one: Ingest Signal: Connect sources like user interviews, support tickets, and friction data. Auto-Synthesize: Our AI clusters noise into clear "Friction Themes" effectively building the map around the problems. Generate Specs: Instantly turn meaningful friction into detailed Feature Specs that sync directly to Jira or Linear. Who it's for: Pathmode is built for "Disillusioned" DesignOps leaders and "Pragmatic" Product Engineers who are tired of journey maps that don't ship. How it's different: Vs. Traditional Mapping Tools: They manage static pictures of the past. Pathmode computes a live view of what to build next. Vs. Research Repositories: They store insights. Pathmode transforms insights into specs. Vs. Issue Trackers: They track what to do. Pathmode defines why it matters. Core Philosophy: The map is not a deliverable. It’s an engine. Start with friction. Ship the fix.
