Summary

The author, Kyle Kelly-Yahner, shares a tutorial on building a Twilio-powered IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system using PHP and ngrok. The system allows users to select from a list of emo songs and hear them play back through a phone call. The author guides readers through the process of setting up Twilio and ngrok, creating a PHP file that handles user input and plays the selected song, and hosting the necessary files on a server exposed via ngrok. With these steps, users can create their own IVR system with customizable music options, making it possible to build a range of applications, from simple hotlines to more complex systems.
