How to use Kyrra hands-free with earbuds
To use Kyrra hands-free, ask Kyrra on WhatsApp for your hands-free link, open it on your phone with Bluetooth earbuds connected, tap Start and say “Hey Kyrra” four times so it learns your voice. Then leave the page open. From then on, say “Hey Kyrra, start”, speak your update, and say “Hey Kyrra, send”. Kyrra answers out loud, in your language.
Who is this for?
People whose hands are busy or gloved: a karigar at the machine, a master on the floor, a nurse on rounds, a dentist at the chair. They can send an update or answer a question without stopping work or picking up the phone.
How do I set it up?
- Ask for your link. In your Kyrra chat on WhatsApp, say “send me my hands-free link”. Each person gets their own private link.
- Connect your earbuds. Any Bluetooth earbuds work.
- Open the link and tap Start. Use Wi-Fi the first time if you can: the page downloads about 25 MB once, then the phone keeps it.
- Teach it your voice. Say “Hey Kyrra” four times when the page asks, like setting up “Hey Siri”.
- Leave the page open. That’s it.
What can I say?
Always “Hey Kyrra” first, then one word. You can say it in one breath, or pause for the chime.
| Say | What happens |
|---|---|
| “Hey Kyrra, start” | Starts recording |
| “Hey Kyrra, send” | Stops and sends the recording to Kyrra |
| “Hey Kyrra, discard” | Throws the recording away |
| “Hey Kyrra, repeat” | Says the last answer again |
| “Hey Kyrra, approve” or “deny” | Answers an approval that is waiting for you |
| “Hey Kyrra” while it is talking | Stops the talking |
Nothing sends by itself. Only the words that make sense at that moment count, so a misheard word can’t do something else.
The command words are in English. What you say in the recording can be in any language Kyrra speaks, like a normal voice note: “214 ki silai ho gayi, 120 piece” (stitching for 214 is done, 120 pieces).
With some earbuds and settings, one press of the earbud button also starts or stops a recording. Speaking the commands works on all of them.
What do I hear back?
Kyrra answers on WhatsApp as usual, and also speaks one short sentence in your earbuds, in your language. The full answer stays in the chat. When it asks you a question, it can start recording by itself after it finishes speaking, so you just answer and say “Hey Kyrra, send”.
When a change is waiting for your approval, Kyrra reads the summary out and waits a few seconds. “Hey Kyrra, approve” saves it. No answer counts as a no, exactly like tapping Cancel, and the approval closes on WhatsApp too. Read why AI should ask before changing your records.
Will it wake up by mistake?
It listens only for your voice saying “Hey Kyrra”. Plain “Kyrra” doesn’t wake it, and someone else saying “Hey Kyrra” nearby does nothing. A wake without a command word does nothing.
If it misses you often, or wakes too easily, ask Kyrra to make it a little easier or stricter. If you change earbuds, you can teach it your voice again from the page.
How do I keep my link safe?
Your link is yours alone: whoever holds it speaks and approves as you. If a phone is lost, ask Kyrra or the owner for a new link, which turns off the old one. Anything waiting while the page is closed is in your WhatsApp chat with Kyrra as usual.

Questions owners ask
Can my staff use Kyrra without touching the phone?
Yes. With any Bluetooth earbuds, each person opens their own hands-free page once and leaves it open. Then they say “Hey Kyrra, start”, speak the update, and say “Hey Kyrra, send”. Kyrra answers out loud in their language.
Will it react when someone else says Hey Kyrra?
No. The first time, it asks you to say “Hey Kyrra” four times and learns your voice. After that it obeys only a voice that matches yours, so a colleague or a customer nearby does nothing.
Which words does it understand?
“Hey Kyrra” followed by one command word: start, send, discard, repeat, approve or deny. The command words are in English. What you say in the recording itself can be in any language Kyrra speaks.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Open your link in the phone’s browser, with Bluetooth earbuds connected, and leave the page open.
Is the recording kept?
Your voice is listened for on the phone itself, and nothing leaves it until you say “Hey Kyrra”. A recording you send is written up like a voice note, and only the words are kept.
What if I lose my phone?
Ask Kyrra, or the owner, for a new hands-free link. That turns off every older link. Leaving the team turns it off too.
