Tidio Lyro is the easiest way for a small business to put an AI agent on its website. Tidio says Lyro can be added in a few clicks without technical knowledge, it answers from your knowledge base with guardrails, and you can watch conversations in real time and jump in when needed. Handoff and escalation rules let you route high-value or sensitive chats to a person. Lyro sells as a standalone product from $32.50 a month billed annually with 50 AI conversations, and it combines with the Tidio help desk, live chat and Flows automation for teams that want everything in one tool. The limits show as volume grows: entry plans cover few AI conversations, the guaranteed 50% resolution rate and pay-per-resolution billing sit on the sales-led Premium tier, and SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance are listed only for custom deployments.
