What Tidio Lyro does
Lyro is Tidio's customer-service AI agent for knowledge-grounded answers, recurring support tasks, controlled communication style, and handoff to a human team.
Lyro brings an AI agent into Tidio's live-chat and helpdesk ecosystem while also offering a standalone route for teams using another helpdesk. Its core job is to answer repetitive questions from approved knowledge and transfer conversations that need people. Communication-style controls and task automation make it more capable than a static FAQ widget, but its practical ceiling is defined by the completeness of the source material and connected actions.
Pricing is quota-based. Tidio's annual pricing view currently starts standalone Lyro at $32.50 per month for 50 AI conversations and offers a seven-day trial. Combined Tidio plans separately meter human billable conversations, Lyro conversations, and Flows visitors; Plus and Premium introduce custom or larger limits. Teams should calculate seasonal volume, overages, and which conversations are billable before comparing the headline price with outcome-based competitors.
Lyro is approachable for a small team, yet deployment still needs disciplined support operations. Imported content can contain stale policy, and an automated answer may miss identity, order, or regional context. Test handoffs and failure states, restrict sensitive actions, and use transcript review to locate knowledge gaps. Tidio publishes a security and data-protection page, but each buyer should confirm plan-specific SSO, compliance, retention, access, subprocessors, and contractual needs.
How Tidio Lyro works
Lyro receives a customer message, interprets the intent, and uses configured company knowledge to compose a response. For supported use cases it can follow recurring task logic, adapt communication style, or hand the conversation to a person; it can operate with Tidio's helpdesk or as a standalone AI layer connected to another service stack.
Build the customer-service knowledge
Lyro ingests configured company information used to answer recurring questions. Teams should consolidate public FAQs, policies, and product guidance, remove expired instructions, and state exceptions explicitly before exposing the agent to customers.
Interpret the conversation and context
The agent identifies the customer's intent and uses the dialogue plus available knowledge to decide whether it can respond or perform an eligible task. Communication-style settings shape delivery but do not verify that the underlying policy is correct.
Answer, automate, or hand off
Lyro produces a knowledge-based response, follows configured recurring-task logic, or transfers the request to a human. The Tidio platform can combine AI and live conversations, while standalone deployments connect the AI layer to another helpdesk.
Improve knowledge and control usage
Operators examine unresolved questions, transfers, customer feedback, and task failures, then update the source material or rules. Track Lyro AI conversation quotas separately from human billable conversations and Flows usage so quality improvements remain economical.

Launch gradually, review unresolved and transferred conversations, correct knowledge, track AI conversation usage, and revisit permissions regularly.
