What is Tidio AI?

Lyro is an AI chatbot built by Tidio that handles customer support questions automatically. It answers common queries without human intervention, then escalates complex issues to your team when needed. The chatbot learns from your knowledge base and past conversations, so it improves over time. It works across website chat, email, and messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
