Side by side

Product attributes first, then what the sources establish for each customer workflow, then the industries they place each agent in. Open any claim to see its source, the date it was checked, and how to request a correction. Two agents are rarely documented to the same depth, so read a difference between the two columns as a difference in the public record before reading it as a difference in the products.

What this agent was judged by

The independent evidence behind these states comes mainly from other independent sources.States rest on 2 independent sources across other independent sources, end-user review sites. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.

Workflow evidenceBilling

Illustrative scenario

I was charged twice for the same order. Can you refund the extra payment?

What to verify: Verify identity, inspect payment records, apply the refund policy, and confirm the payment-system result. If no authorized refund action is connected, hand off with the evidence.

Not established

No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability.

External report

PolyAI's own handoff documentation names billing disputes as an example of a conversation the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving.

Workflow evidenceOrders

Illustrative scenario

My order has not arrived. Where is it?

What to verify: Retrieve the correct order and current carrier status. Distinguish a real tracking update from an estimate; do not invent a delivery date.

Vendor-documented

No independent report of Lyro executing order-status or order-modification actions was found; the capability rests on vendor description alone.

Workflow evidenceReturns

Illustrative scenario

I bought this 12 days ago and opened the box. Can I return it?

What to verify: Check the actual return window, product exclusions, and order record. A policy answer and an executed return are different capabilities.

Not established

No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability.

Workflow evidenceProduct questions

Illustrative scenario

Does this adapter work with my exact laptop model?

What to verify: Use a current, approved compatibility source. Ask for the model when missing and distinguish documented compatibility from an assumption.

Caveat documented

The independent evidence is genuinely mixed: several Shopify merchants report Lyro handling the bulk of product questions, while a Trustpilot reviewer reports it failing on Tidio's own site. Contrary evidence outranks capability claims under the rubric, so this reads poor; both sides are listed so a reader can weigh them.

Vendor-documented

URL ingestion is documented as limited to one level below the starting URL and a maximum of ten embedded pages, and the Zendesk and Gladly knowledge syncs are marked beta. Those constrain one ingestion route rather than the capability itself, so they are recorded here rather than as a gap. No independent evidence of answer quality was found, so the verdict stays unknown.

Workflow evidenceAccount issues

Illustrative scenario

I lost access to my email. Change the address on my account.

What to verify: Follow the approved identity-recovery process before accessing or changing account data. Escalate when identity cannot be verified.

Not established

I have contacted you three times and the problem is still unresolved.

What to verify: Recognize the repeat complaint, retain relevant history, and route it to the right team. Do not promise compensation outside the policy.

Not established

Caveat documented

PolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously.

Workflow evidenceSmall businesses

Illustrative scenario

A two-person support team wants to launch without a dedicated engineer.

What to verify: Validate setup effort, existing help-desk support, required integrations, and ongoing maintenance. A small customer's story alone does not establish suitability for every small business.

External report

Independent evidence for the small-business segment is unusually dense here because Lyro is distributed through the Shopify App Store, where reviewers self-identify as small merchants.
