# Mate (mate.direct)

> Mate is a multilingual client-path builder for small businesses. Owners create short question-paths ("client paths") that guide a visitor through a few steps and end in a real conversation on WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage — turning traffic into chats instead of lost clicks. Paths are AI-assisted, published as a public link, and available in 8 languages.
