How Tidio AI Transforms Customer Support with Lyro AI Agent
Most customer service AI just answers questions - but what if it could actually complete tasks like updating orders or creating CRM entries? Tidio's Lyro AI agent goes beyond chatbots to perform real work in your systems while maintaining your brand voice 24/7.
The AI Support Revolution
Customer service teams are drowning in repetitive queries while customers expect instant, personalized responses. Traditional chatbots often create more work by providing generic answers that still require human follow-up. Tidio's Lyro AI agent represents a fundamental shift - an AI that doesn't just chat, but completes actual work tasks.
Unlike basic chatbots limited to FAQ responses, Lyro integrates with your business systems through APIs to perform actions during conversations. At 2:15 in the video, we see Lyro not just telling a customer their order status, but actually retrieving it from the system and providing specific tracking details.
Key difference: Where chatbots answer, Lyro acts. It can update customer records, create support tickets, schedule appointments, and recommend products - all while maintaining your brand voice and working within your existing systems.
Centralized Knowledge Management
The foundation of Tidio's AI capabilities is its unified knowledge base that powers both agent assistance and customer-facing automation. Instead of maintaining separate systems, you add knowledge once through:
- Website/FAQ page scanning
- Manual Q&A entry
- File uploads (CSV, PDF, etc.)
- Help center article imports
At 3:42 in the tutorial, we see how adding a simple website URL automatically extracts and structures content into searchable knowledge. You maintain complete control by deciding which data sources are used for customer-facing responses versus internal agent assistance.
AI Tools for Agent Assistance
Support teams waste countless hours reading long ticket threads and crafting replies. Tidio's AI tools help agents work smarter:
- AI Summarize: Condenses lengthy conversations into key points (shown at 5:10)
- AI Rewrite: Polishes agent drafts for tone and clarity while preserving intent
- Playground: Lets you test how Lyro will respond before going live
These tools don't replace agents - they amplify their effectiveness. A support rep can handle more complex cases when AI handles the routine communication polish and information synthesis.
Copilot Feature Explained
Tidio Copilot acts as an AI assistant within the support interface, suggesting replies based on your knowledge base and past conversations. At 7:30, we see how agents can:
- Receive AI-generated draft responses
- Adjust tone or details as needed
- Send the polished version
The Copilot Chrome extension brings these capabilities into other platforms like Zendesk, Intercom, and even Gmail. This means you can centralize AI knowledge in Tidio while assisting agents across multiple tools.
Lyro AI Agent Capabilities
Lyro represents the customer-facing side of Tidio's AI, handling conversations autonomously while maintaining your brand voice. Key configuration options shown at 10:15 include:
Communication Style: Set tone (neutral, friendly, etc.), emoji frequency, and link sharing preferences to match your brand guidelines.
Escalation rules determine when Lyro should transfer to human agents or create support tickets. Through Lyro Connect, the AI can integrate with existing help desks rather than requiring replacement of current systems.
Smart Product Recommendations
At 14:45, we see Lyro functioning as a shopping assistant by:
- Recommending products matching customer criteria (e.g., "hoodie under $150")
- Suggesting complementary items ("Do you have a matching cap?")
- Answering detailed questions using product descriptions
This transforms Lyro from a cost center to a revenue driver by reducing decision friction and increasing average order value through personalized recommendations.
Lyro Actions: The Game Changer
The most powerful feature shown at 16:30 is Lyro Actions - API integrations that enable the AI to:
- Check order status in real-time
- Update customer addresses
- Create CRM contacts
- Schedule appointments
Pre-built templates make setup easy for common workflows without requiring coding. This is what elevates Lyro from chatbot to true AI agent - the ability to complete actual work tasks during conversations.
Performance Analytics
Tidio provides comprehensive metrics to track Lyro's effectiveness, including:
- Conversation volume handled
- Resolution rate without human intervention
- Transfer rate to agents
- Customer satisfaction scores
These analytics help identify knowledge gaps or scenarios where additional training or actions could improve automation rates.

In summary: Reduce support costs by automating up to 80% of repetitive queries while improving customer experience through instant, accurate responses and actions - all while maintaining brand consistency across all interactions.
