What does the Dictionary API integration return for a word?

A full dictionary entry: definitions grouped by part of speech, phonetics with pronunciation audio, etymology, example sentences, and synonyms and antonyms - all from a single lookup Lyro can use in a reply.

Does Lyro scan a conversation for words to define, or does it look one up on request?

Lyro looks up a word when the conversation calls for it, typically a term that appears in a reply or one a customer asks about directly - it doesn't scan text for words to define on its own.

Can Lyro look up more than one word in the same reply?

The integration checks one word per call, so if a reply needs more than one term explained, Lyro looks each one up separately.

Is this different from Lyro just describing a word from what it already knows?

Yes - with Dictionary API connected, Lyro pulls the definition, phonetics, and related terms from a live lookup rather than relying on its own recall, so the explanation stays sourced and consistent.

How businesses use Dictionary api + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Dictionary api actions Lyro runs to close it.

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 Dictionary api actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect Dictionary api
Authorize the Dictionary api 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 Dictionary api 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.
