About Twilio

Twilio is a developer platform for building customer conversations across channels. It provides APIs for SMS, RCS, voice, and email, along with conversational AI, identity verification, and orchestration tools that let AI agents and human agents share the same conversation history.

The platform is aimed at teams that want to combine messaging channels with conversational AI. AI agents can draw on internal knowledge and real-time data, hand a conversation to a human when complexity or customer intent requires it, and continue the same thread as customers move between chat, text, voice, and email. A unified customer memory stores preferences, interests, and sentiment. Pricing is not listed on the homepage; a free trial is advertised with no credit card required.
