Live chat and AI

Tidio implementation and Lyro AI Agent setup for ecommerce support

Smart Instinct is a helpdesk implementation and AI agent setup agency and a Tidio Partner. We set up the Tidio chat widget, Flows and the Lyro AI Agent. Lyro answers only from sources you approve, and the handoff rules are written before launch. The audit is $750. Builds are $3,750, $10,500 or $17,500. Migrations start at $3,500. Each price is fixed before we start.

The chat widget is the cheapest support headcount you will ever configure. We also connect the ecommerce integrations that answer order questions without an agent.

Scope

What we configure in Tidio

A chat widget dropped on the site with default settings will answer nothing useful and annoy people on mobile. Placement, timing and grounding are the entire difference.

  • Widget placement and trigger timing, tuned per page rather than one global rule.
  • Flows for the questions that repeat, without building a maze nobody can edit later.
  • Lyro answering from approved data sources, with Lyro Guidance and handoff rules written down first.
  • Ecommerce integrations so order questions resolve inside chat rather than escalating.
  • Handoff rules to a human that do not dead-end when nobody is online.
  • Lyro Analytics and reporting set up so you can read containment honestly.
Fit

Who Tidio is right for, and who should look elsewhere

Best for

  • You run a store and chat is your highest-volume channel.
  • You want Lyro answering with Guidance and escalation rules written down first.
  • You want order questions resolved in chat, social DMs and WhatsApp.
  • You want a fixed price and a documented handoff.
  • Someone internal will own the configuration afterward.

Not a fit if

  • You need a full ticketing platform as the system of record.
  • You want a guaranteed deflection percentage.
  • You need agent staffing or BPO.
  • Your budget is under $750, which is the audit floor.

FAQ

Tidio and Lyro questions we get on the call

Is Tidio enough on its own?

For a store where chat is the dominant channel, often yes. If you need a ticket object as the system of record, SLAs against accounts, or heavy multi-brand separation, it is not, and we will say so rather than build you something you outgrow in a year.

How do we stop Lyro answering things it should not?

Lyro answers from the data sources you add, which are website URLs and question and answer pairs, and you test it in the Playground before it goes live. Lyro Guidance sets how it behaves in specific situations, and conversation settings decide when Lyro is the first contact and how handoff works. We write all of it before launch, and anything touching refunds or commitments goes to a human.

How much does Lyro cost?

Every Tidio account gets 50 free Lyro conversations, one time. After that, standalone Lyro starts at $32.50 a month for 50 conversations, and Premium starts at 3,000 Lyro conversations and offers pay-per-resolution billing. Check Tidio's pricing page for current rates.

Can Lyro take actions in our other systems?

Yes, through Lyro Actions. Since September 2026, MCP connectors also link Lyro to external servers whose tools it can use, for example to check whether a subscription is active. We route refunds and commitments to a person by default.
