Do all the Google Maps actions run on the same credentials?

Not quite. Most of the toolkit runs over OAuth2, but Embed Google Map works only with an API key because it builds a public embed URL instead of calling the API, and the tile actions need a session token from Create Tiles Session before Get 2D Map Tile will return an image to Lyro.

Whose Google Maps quota do these calls spend?

Yours - every call Lyro makes runs against the Google Cloud project behind the credentials you connect. Several actions are billable per request, including Get 3D Tiles Root and Render Aerial Video, Create Tiles Session consumes quota on each call, and Text Search should be throttled to roughly one request per second to avoid HTTP 429.

How do you stop Lyro answering with the wrong location?

Geocoding is not one-to-one: a single address or coordinate pair can return several candidates, so the formattedAddress, region, and addressComponents on a result should be checked before Lyro commits to coordinates. Text Search results also need filtering to businessStatus OPERATIONAL, or a permanently closed branch can be offered as open.

How many routes can Lyro compare in one call?

Compute Route Matrix is capped at 625 elements, so a 25 by 25 grid of origins and destinations; anything larger has to be chunked or the call returns RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. Results can also come back out of order and incomplete, so Lyro maps them by originIndex and destinationIndex and uses only the elements where a route exists.

How businesses use Google Maps + Lyro

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

Find the nearest location that is actually open
Lyro searches by phrase or within a radius, filters out results marked permanently or temporarily closed, and pulls the full record for the branch it ends up recommending.
Text SearchNearby SearchGet Place Details
Convert an address into coordinates and back
Lyro geocodes a typed address into latitude and longitude, reverses a coordinate pair into a readable address, and resolves a Place ID when the customer has already picked a specific spot.
Geocode Address With QueryReverse Geocode LocationGeocode Place By ID
Quote travel time before promising a slot
Lyro calculates a route between two points, or a distance and duration matrix across many origins and destinations, so a delivery window or an appointment time rests on real travel time.
Get RouteCompute Route MatrixGeolocate Device
Send back a map, a photo, or an aerial view
Lyro returns an embeddable map iframe, a photograph from the Places database, or a rendered aerial video, so directions arrive as something the customer can actually look at.

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 Google Maps actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect Google Maps
Authorize the Google Maps 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 Google Maps 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.
