Twilio’S Next Generation Platform: an Infrastructure Layer for Every Conversation in the Agentic Era
Twilio kicked off its user conference, SIGNAL, by unveiling its next generation platform capabilities for the agentic era. Generally available today, Conversation Memory, Conversation Orchestrator, Conversation Intelligence, and Agent Connect combine to turn disparate interactions into continuous, intelligent, and personal conversations across humans, agents, and systems. Every business runs on conversations. Today, however, businesses frequently interact without context. Customers explain their problems on chat, then repeat them on a call with an agent that picks up with no knowledge of what came before. The interaction ends, and the cycle continues with the next interaction beginning as if the relationship never existed. Twilio's platform updates address these challenges directly with: persistent memory across every interaction; real-time context that travels with the conversation; and intelligent orchestration across every channel and every participant, human or AI. As a result, Twilio’s enhanced capabilities ensure that customer conversations never start from zero, are always remembered, and remain unified across channels. Brand new capabilities enabling these context-rich conversations include: TwilioConversation Memory: Delivers persistent memory across every interaction by extracting and maintaining customer history, preferences, behavior, and conversation state across every channel. Conversation Memory helps every conversation pick up where the last one left off, so customers never have to repeat themselves and every agent, human or AI, engages at the right point and with the right context. Twilio Conversation Orchestrator: Turns individual calls and messages into a single, continuous conversation. A unified layer for multi-channel, multi-agent engagement, Conversation Orchestrator delivers routing, escalation, state management, and seamless handoffs between humans and AI. With Conversation Orchestrator, businesses can maintain one continuous conversation, no matter how many channels, agents, or systems are involved. Twilio Conversation Intelligence: The success of Conversation Relay and Conversational Intelligence products signaled growing demand from businesses for Twilio to play a larger role in orchestrating model-agnostic AI experiences. Built from the ground up and integrated across the platform’s latest capabilities, Conversation Intelligence leverages generative AI language operators to turn live conversations into actionable, real-time intelligence that enhances human agents and triggers immediate actions like automated workflows across voice and messaging channels. Twilio Agent Connect: Connects businesses’ AI agents and models directly to Twilio’s voice and messaging channels for real-time conversations. A self-hosted, model-agnostic, open source framework, Agent Connect helps handle the complex physics of communications such as real-time voice streaming, session and identity management, and agentic integrations. Businesses have the flexibility to choose and switch their preferred AI agents and models without changing their Twilio channel integration or application wiring. The platform’s new capabilities are designed to serve customer engagement needs across an entire business, while also fitting seamlessly into existing tech stacks. To streamline customers’ experience with Twilio’s platform, the company completely redesigned its console from the ground up. Generally available today, the new Twilio Console serves as the front door for customers – giving them a single place to log in, navigate products, and manage communications workloads. This evolution introduces Workbench, a specialized workspace built for developer productivity, alongside an integrated AI assistant for real-time support. New and existing customers can seamlessly try Twilio products directly within the interface, making it easier than ever to explore new features while managing compliance and billing in one centralized command center. In addition to new platform building blocks, Twilio announced: Twilio Email (General Availability): Available in the new Twilio Console, Twilio Email is a streamlined, developer-friendly email capability built on SendGrid technology. Twilio Email is designed for teams adding email to existing cross-channel workflows, and allows customers to add high-deliverability, scalable email to applications without the overhead of juggling separate tools and vendors. Twilio Email does not replace Twilio SendGrid, which remains as a leading email platform for high-volume transactional and marketing emails. Voice AI Updates: Conversation Relay is receiving significant updates, including Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant Voice workflows, native integration of Deepgram's real-time speech-to-text model, Flux, for semantics-aware smart turn detection, and Conversation Relay Insights for programmatic API access to latency and quality analytics. Data Residency for SMS EU (Public Beta): Offers enterprises the option of managing and storing personal data associated with SMS in the EU. Provider for Apple Messages for Business (Private Beta): Apple Messages for Business (AMB) allows consumers to connect with brands as easily as they text their friends, using the native Messages app already on their iPhone, Mac, or iPad. As a provider for AMB, Twilio acts as the official bridge connecting consumers with businesses – enabling orchestration of AI agents, rich content, and support all in one place. Stripe Projects Launch Partner: Announced at Stripe Sessions in late April, Twilio is now a part of Stripe Projects, enabling developers and AI agents to seamlessly provision Twilio within Stripe Projects alongside other services in a single, programmable CLI workflow, complete with centralized billing and streamlined credential management. Twilio’s new platform capabilities have been available to private beta customers since January, 2026. Notable brands such as Car Finance 247, Centerfield, and Constellation Dealerships have all seen immediate benefits as part of their initial implementations. Twilio Partners – including Apply Digital, AWS, Blacc Spot, Ciptex, Zennify, and more – have participated in a rigorous private beta and enablement program, positioning themselves to deliver these capabilities to customers from day one. Twilio’s platform will continue to expand capabilities to directly address evolving business challenges across authentication and identity verification, governance, and observability. As agents become more autonomous and begin to act and transact on behalf of people and businesses, Twilio’s model-agnostic, extensible, and application-neutral platform will support businesses across their customer conversations — regardless of which model powers their agents or which systems initiate the workflow.
