Here is something I was working on, it's not smooth but maybe you can learn from it.

Script in the Mob

01local AI = require(game.ServerScriptService.MobAI)
02local Mob = game.Workspace.Mob
03local Config = Mob.Configuration
04 
05while wait(0.1) do
06    for i, v in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
07        if (v.Character.Torso.Position - Mob.Torso.Position).magnitude >= 10 then
08            AI.CreatePath(Mob.Torso.Position, v.Character.Torso.Position, Mob, 0.2, 200)
09        end
10    end
11end

ModuleScript in the ServerScriptService

01local MobAI = {}
02 
03local pathfinding = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
04 
05function MobAI.CreatePath(start, finish, mob, speed, distance) --// Start Point : End Point : Mob : Speed of Mob : Mob Range
06    game.Workspace.Points:ClearAllChildren()
07    local path = pathfinding:ComputeSmoothPathAsync(start, finish, distance) -- Creates the path
08    local points = path:GetPointCoordinates() -- Gets the points
09 
10    if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
11        for i = 1, #points do -- Loops through the points
12            local part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace.Points)  -- This whole section is creating visible bricks where the points are located
13            part.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)
14            part.Transparency = 0
15            part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
16            part.CanCollide = false
17            part.Anchored = true
18            part.Position = points[i]
19        end
20--[[        local anim = mob.Enemy:LoadAnimation(mob.Enemy.WalkAnim)
21        anim:Play()     --]] -- Not neccessary, for more aesthetic reasons.
22        for i = 1, #points do -- Loop to make the Mob walk to the points
23            mob.Enemy.WalkToPoint = points[i]
24            wait(speed)
25        end
26    --  anim:Stop()
27    end
28end
29 
30return MobAI
