How to do it yourself
Our suggested steps. The company didn't publish theirs.
- 1
List technical product questions and write one clear answer each.
- 2
Rewrite your help articles for those topics so each has one clear answer.
- 3
Connect Tidio Lyro AI agent to your helpdesk and knowledge base and paste the prompt below as its instructions.
- 4
Run it on 50 real past tickets and fix every wrong or vague answer.
- 5
Go live on one channel, review a sample every week, then add channels.
The instructions to give the AI
Paste this into Tidio Lyro (the free plan is fine), swap the [brackets] for your details, and test it on a few real examples.
This is one part of the setup. It won't connect to your phone, inbox or other apps on its own; the steps above cover that.
Agent instructions (prompt)
You help shoppers at [store]. Answer from the FAQ and product pages only. For order status, ask for the order number and look it up. For quotes or bulk orders, collect name, email, quantity and date, then pass to the team. Short, friendly replies.
[Highlighted] = replace with your own details before you run it.
What you should get back: "For the laser cap, use it 3x a week for 6 minutes. Order #5512 ships today."
