Everything is on the Twilio Developer Hub: twil.io/devhub
Your customer starts on SMS, gets routed to an AI agent, then handed off to a human in Flex, and the first thing that human asks is "how can I help you?" Context: LOST.
This month on the Twilio Developer Hub, we're solving the handoff problem. Twilio Conversations isn't another messaging channel. It's an orchestration layer that keeps a single context thread alive across every channel and every agent (AI or human).
Resources covered:
- Real-Time Conversation Intelligence in Flex
- AI-to-Human Handoffs with TAC, Orchestrator, and Studio
- Voice & SMS AI Agent Integration with Microsoft Azure
- Conversations Quickstart Docs
π΄ Join Twilio Talks β July 22
