Twilio is a cloud communication platform that allows developers to build real-time voice and messaging services into their applications. In this article, Placona builds a personal assistant using Twilio and Google Calendar. He creates a script that connects to the user's Google Calendar account, fetches upcoming events, and sends SMS reminders with a link to join the meeting via phone call. The script uses the Twilio API to make calls and send SMS messages. Placona also sets up a MongoDB database to store the user's calendar data and token information. He uses the Agenda module to schedule tasks and the Google Calendar API to authenticate and fetch events. The script can be run on a server or locally, and it provides a simple way for users to receive reminders and join meetings with just a few clicks.
