Lyro answers customer questions in 12 languages, using only the knowledge a business gives it. For online stores it also sells: with Proactive Lyro, it starts the conversation with shoppers before they leave, recommends products, and sends ready buyers to checkout. When it can’t answer, it hands the conversation to a human agent, or creates a ticket if no one is online.

Workflows are built in a visual builder with no code.

It has native Shopify actions, product recommendations with add to cart, and order status checks inside the conversation. It also installs on other platforms such as WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Wix. ### Proactive Sales Tidio doesn’t wait for shoppers to ask. Proactive Lyro opens the conversation, suggests products, and guides buyers to checkout, so support also brings in revenue. ### One Platform for AI and Human Support Lyro AI Agent, Flows, Help Desk, and Live Chat come in one product with one inbox. ### A Free Plan With No Time Limit Tidio can be used for free with no credit card required. Every paid plan has a 7-day free trial. ### AI That Doesn’t Make Things Up Lyro answers only from the content a business provides. It doesn’t pull answers from the open web, and it shows the source of every answer so the team can check it. ### High Resolution Rate Lyro and Flows together resolve up to 67% of a business’s support load automatically. Premium customers get a guaranteed 50% resolution rate for Lyro. ### Fast Setup With No Code Lyro learns from a website URL, FAQ pages, Q&As, CSV and PDF files, and Zendesk articles. Setup takes minutes and needs no coding. ### Trusted by Many Businesses More than 300,000 companies use Tidio. It is rated 4.7/5 on Capterra and 4.8/5 on WordPress.org. ## How Lyro Works Lyro learns only from the knowledge a business adds: website content, FAQ pages, Q&As entered by hand, CSV imports, PDF files, and Zendesk articles. It doesn’t use web data to answer unfamiliar questions, and it answers only when it is confident in the answer. When Lyro can’t answer, or the customer asks for a person, it hands the conversation to a human agent. If no agent is online, it creates a ticket. Businesses can set handoff rules for specific topics, keywords, or VIP customers. With Lyro Smart Actions, Lyro connects to external systems through APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, so it can check orders, update data, or book meetings. Every external call is scoped, authenticated, and auditable. Data is used only within the conversation and is encrypted in transit and at rest. Teams test Lyro in a built-in testing environment before going live. After launch, Analytics shows the resolution rate, satisfaction score, and gaps in the knowledge base.
