In this article, you will learn:

• How to set up Lyro
• How to test and improve Lyro's performance
• How to go live with Lyro
• What further steps you can take

 

 

Step 1: Set up Lyro

 

The first part of integrating the Lyro AI chatbot is preparing it for work. To achieve that, you need to add data sources which Lyro will use as its knowledge base.

 

 

 

Add your website URLs as a data source

Copy your relevant website URLs and paste them into Lyro's data source setup. The AI will learn the content of your page(s), understanding the context to answer visitor queries accurately.

 

Upload additional knowledge

For more comprehensive responses, upload internal knowledge bases in the form of question-and-answer pairs. This helps Lyro provide more accurate and relevant answers.

 

You can see more details about adding and managing Lyro data sources in this guide.

 

 

Step 2: Test and improve Lyro

 

Before going live, test your Lyro setup to ensure it functions as expected - and improve where necessary.

 

 

 

Use the Playground

Tidio provides a test environment where you can test Lyro’s responses. In the Playground tab, ask questions that customers might submit and review Lyro's answers.

You can see more details in this guide.

 

Refine the responses

If you find irrelevant, missing, or inaccurate information, you can edit, delete, or add responses.

You can see more details in this guide.

 

Configure conversation settings

Decide when Lyro should take over conversations - whether it should always be the first line of contact or only step in when human operators are offline; how should it behave exactly during handoff; and which channels should Lyro be active on overall.

You can see more details in these guides: online and offline activation / handoff / channels.

 

 

Step 3: Go live

 

Once you’re satisfied with Lyro's performance and general setup, it’s time to go live!

 

 

 

Activate Lyro

Make sure Lyro is active and ready to handle live queries from your website visitors. You can manage that via the Configure tab.

You can see more details in this guide.

 

Monitor Conversations

Even after going live, keep an eye on the conversations Lyro is handling. You can join in if necessary or let Lyro manage on its own. Analyzing Lyro's performance is essential if you want to provide quality responses in the long run.

Step 4: Take it to the next level

 

The Lyro AI Chatbot isn’t just about answering questions - it can also perform specific, tailored tasks. You can use this tool as a way for Lyro to take specific actions in response to particular customer messages.

 

 

 

Create a scheduler or lead generator

If your business involves booking appointments (e.g. real estate viewings), you can set up a scheduler. This allows Lyro to collect customer information directly through the chat, helping you book meetings or calls. You can also use this as a basic lead generator.
