Why does Lyro settle on a translation before it searches?

Because search runs inside one version. Get Supported Bible Versions lists the available translations and their languages, and the resulting bibleId is required by Search Bible Verses, Get Verse, Get Chapter, and Get Passage, so the translation an answer comes from is fixed up front.

How does keyword search behave across translations?

Search Bible Verses matches keywords or a passage reference within a single Bible version, and for keyword searches every keyword must be present. The same query run against two translations can therefore return different results, since wording differs between them.

Can Lyro hand someone a permanent link to an audio chapter?

No. Get Audio Chapter returns the chapter with an mp3 resource URL, and that URL is temporary, so it suits playing or downloading now rather than storing as a lasting link. Lyro can regenerate it whenever it is asked again.

Can a passage be found by its theme instead of a reference?

Often, yes. Sections are thematic groupings of verses with names such as The Sermon on the Mount; Get Sections lists them for a book and List Chapter Sections does the same for a chapter, then Get Section returns the content - so a themed request resolves without a chapter and verse.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Api bible actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect Api bible
Authorize the Api bible account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Api bible actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
