#Serverless Toronto welcomed developer evangelists Phil Nash from #Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/blog/author/pnash) – he was a #SmashingConf Toronto 2019 presenter, and Timirah James (https://twitter.com/TimirahJ) from #Cloudinary – SmashingConf Platinum Sponsor. Phil’s talk and live coding demo include a bit of history behind Telecommunication APIs at Twilio, Node.js-powered Twilio Functions (https://www.twilio.com/blog/start-a-new-twilio-functions-project-the-easy-way), intro to Autopilot – a new service from Twilio for building Omni-Channel Digital Assistants, AI-powered Chatbots, Conversational IVRs, and Alexa Skills (https://www.twilio.com/docs/autopilot), and 27 minutes of Q&A! The talk was preceded by Timirah's overview of what "Cloudinary's Media Developer Experts Program" was about and how to get involved: http://cloudinary.rocks/MDE.
