What is Ask Lyra?

Ask Lyra is our copilot for getting customer insights. Simply ask a question about your customers in plain English and get instant, data-backed answers.

Powered by our proprietary Lyra AI technology, it works like a knowledgeable team member who knows everything about your customer feedback. No need to build reports or analyze data yourself – just ask and get the insights you need.

Turn questions into instant, data-backed answers

Ask Lyra can answer both qualitative and quantitative questions.

Qualitative questions explore how customers think, feel, and talk about specific subjects — perfect for understanding sentiment, identifying pain points, and discovering what matters to customers across different segments, time periods, and data sources. For example:

Quantitative questions are ideal when you need precision and numbers — from tracking scores and trends to understanding the volume of feedback across markets, teams, and time periods. For example:

How does it work?

Lyra interprets your question and selects all of the necessary filters and search terms required to find the right dataset to answer your question. Every answer includes a digestible summary (Highlights) plus a list of specific customer issues (Observations) you can act on.

Selecting a Highlight takes you to a dedicated page which contains a more granular summary and aggregated snippets of the selected Observations. From here, you can visualize the insights using pre-built but customisable charts - one for metrics, another for breakdowns. You can also save the whole page as a quick dashboard for sharing with stakeholders.
