Lyra Chrome Extension

Lyra is a focused productivity boost for anyone who lives inside Google Calendar and regularly faces back-to-back meetings. It works by attaching a live research agent to each event, pulling participant bios, recent news, and company context directly into the calendar view. No extra tabs or manual searches required. We'd reach for this when every minute counts — sales calls, client check-ins, or internal briefings where showing up prepared matters. In practice, the quality of the research is solid for public information, but don't expect it to dig into internal documents or CRM notes. Its biggest limitation is the total reliance on Google Calendar; if you use Outlook or Notion for scheduling, Lyra won't help. Compared to alternatives like Crystal or People.ai, Lyra is lighter and cheaper (free), but less integrated with sales workflows. Where it bites: the agent can occasionally miss context for smaller companies or individuals with limited online presence. For a free tool, though, it's a time-saver that pays for itself after a few meetings.
