Overview
What Twilio is
Twilio provides programmable communications and tools for analyzing customer conversations. It can connect an AI application with real phone or messaging channels, while conversation intelligence extracts structured information from supported interactions. The channel and the model remain separate system components.
For a first workflow, define the customer task and supported communication method. Integrate the application and model with controlled test inputs. Check transcripts, handoffs, consent, and delivery behavior before scaling.
