Exploration

Exploration is how Floe learns to navigate your product through browser automation. While ingestion teaches Floe what your product does through your documentation, exploration teaches Floe how to use it by actually navigating the interface.

What happens during exploration

When you start exploration, Floe navigates your product the way a new user would. It visits screens, discovers navigation paths, identifies forms and interactive elements, and builds a map of your product's interface.

After exploration, the AI agent knows:

  • What screens exist and how to reach them
  • Where forms and input fields are located
  • How navigation flows connect different parts of your product
  • What interactive elements are available on each page

This is what allows the agent to navigate to the right screen when a prospect asks "show me the reporting dashboard" during a demo. It drives feature discovery across your entire product.

Running exploration

  1. Go to your site in the Floe dashboard
  2. Open the Explorer tab
  3. Click Start Exploration
  4. Wait for the process to complete (typically 5-10 minutes)

Exploration starts from your site's URL and navigates through your product automatically. The depth is configurable in your site settings.

What you'll see after exploration

The Explorer tab shows what Floe discovered:

  • Screens: Each distinct page or view in your product
  • Forms: Input areas, configuration screens, and multi-step workflows

You can review what Floe found and re-run exploration any time your product's UI changes.

When to re-run exploration

Re-run exploration when you:

  • Ship a major UI redesign or new navigation
  • Add new product sections or features
  • Change the layout of important screens

Floe merges new findings with existing ones, so you don't lose previous exploration data.

FAQ

Does exploration change anything in my product? No. Exploration is read-only. Floe navigates and observes but does not click buttons that submit data, create records, or modify your product in any way. See how it works for a deeper look at the architecture.

Does exploration require login credentials? If your product requires authentication, you'll configure access during site setup so Floe can reach the screens behind login.

How often should I re-run exploration? After major UI changes. For most products, once a month is enough unless you're shipping frequently.
