Is Luzia Available in My Country?
Luzia is available in over 40 countries. Its strongest presence is in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy, but it works in most countries where WhatsApp and Telegram operate. If you can message Luzia’s number on WhatsApp, it works in your country.

- Spanish (all regional variants)

- English
- French
- Italian
- German
- Catalan
- And several additional languages
Luzia automatically detects the language of your message and responds in the same language. You do not need to configure any settings.
Core Features
How Does Voice Transcription Work?
- Receive a voice message in any WhatsApp or Telegram chat.
- Long-press the voice message and tap Forward.
- Select Luzia from your contacts.
- Luzia will send you a written transcript within seconds.
This works with voice messages in any supported language and handles most accents and background noise levels.
How Does Translation Work?
Simply ask Luzia to translate:
“Translate to English: La reunión se movió al jueves a las 3 de la tarde.”
Luzia responds:
“The meeting has been moved to Thursday at 3 PM.”
You can also combine translation with voice transcription: forward a voice message in one language and ask Luzia to transcribe and translate it into another language.
Can Luzia Help with Homework?
Yes. Students commonly use Luzia for:
- Math: “Solve step by step: 2x² + 5x - 3 = 0”
- Science: “Explain the water cycle for a 12-year-old”
- History: “What were the main causes of the French Revolution?”
- Language: “What is the subjunctive mood in Spanish?”
Luzia explains concepts and walks through solutions. However, answers should be verified against authoritative sources for important assignments.
Can Luzia Generate Images?
Luzia has limited image generation capabilities. For basic creative images, you can ask Luzia to create one, though the results may not match dedicated image-generation tools like Midjourney or DALL-E. For most users, Luzia’s text-based features are the primary value.
Can Luzia Browse the Internet?
Luzia’s real-time internet access depends on its current configuration, which may vary. For general knowledge questions based on its training data, Luzia provides accurate answers. For breaking news or rapidly changing information, verify with a live source.
Pricing and Plans
Is Luzia Really Free?
Yes. Luzia’s core features—text chat, voice transcription, translation, homework help, recipes, and general assistance—are all free. There are no ads, no message limits for basic use, and no mandatory subscription.
Does Luzia Show Ads?
No. Luzia is ad-free. The company monetizes through optional premium subscriptions and enterprise partnerships, not advertising.
What Does the Premium Tier Include?
Luzia’s premium tier (pricing varies by country) offers:
- Faster response times during peak hours
- Access to more advanced AI models
- Higher usage limits for resource-intensive requests
- Priority customer support
The premium tier is optional. Most users never need it.
How Does Luzia Make Money?
Through a combination of:
- Premium subscriptions from power users
- Enterprise and B2B partnerships
- Venture capital funding (including a Khosla Ventures-led Series A)
Privacy and Security
Does Luzia Read My WhatsApp Messages?
No. Luzia can only see messages that you send directly to it or forward to it. It cannot access your other WhatsApp conversations, contacts, photos, or any other data on your phone.
Is My Data Safe?
Luzia states in its privacy policy that:
- It does not sell user data
- It does not display advertising
- It complies with GDPR for EU users
- Conversation data is processed for response generation and is not retained longer than necessary
Does WhatsApp End-to-End Encryption Protect My Luzia Messages?
WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption covers messages in transit between your phone and Luzia’s servers. However, once a message reaches Luzia’s servers for processing, it is decrypted to generate a response. This is inherent to how any AI bot on WhatsApp works—the bot needs to read the message to respond to it.
Can I Delete My Luzia Conversation History?
Yes. You can delete your chat with Luzia in WhatsApp or Telegram at any time, just like any other conversation. You can also contact Luzia’s support to request data deletion under GDPR.
Troubleshooting
Luzia Is Not Responding
Common causes and solutions:
- Check your internet connection. Luzia requires an active connection.
- Verify you are messaging the correct number. Ensure you have Luzia’s official number from luzia.com.
- Wait a moment. During peak usage times, responses may be delayed by a few seconds.
- Restart the conversation. Send a new message like “Hi” to re-initiate the chat.
Voice Transcription Is Inaccurate
Try these solutions:
- Ensure clear audio quality in the original voice message.
- Specify the language if Luzia misidentifies it: “Transcribe this Portuguese voice message.”
- For long messages, ask Luzia to continue if the transcript seems truncated.
Translation Seems Wrong
- Provide context: “Translate this formal business email to Brazilian Portuguese” gets better results than just “Translate to Portuguese.”
- Specify the register: “Make it casual” or “Make it formal.”
- Ask for alternatives: “Is there another way to say this in Mexican Spanish?”
Luzia Gave Wrong Information
AI assistants can produce incorrect information. If something seems wrong:
- Ask Luzia to verify: “Are you sure about that? Can you double-check?”
- Cross-reference with authoritative sources for important information.
- Report issues through Luzia’s feedback mechanism.
