Common Questions
What is an AI Agent?
An AI agent is like having a personal assistant who does specific tasks for you. Instead of a general chatbot that just talks, AI agents actually do things—they can check your calendar, send emails, look up information, and handle repetitive work so you don't have to.
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP is simply the way AI agents plug into your apps and services. When you connect something like Paper Search to Lyra, it lets the AI take actions on your behalf.
How do I use Paper Search?
Just install it inside Lyra. It only takes a moment. After that, your AI can instantly use Paper Search—no setup, no technical knowledge required.
