Summary

Twilio has introduced Twilio Add-ons, a new feature that allows developers to instantly install partner features and capabilities through the Twilio API with just one click. This announcement aligns with Twilio's goal of making it easy to build with its entire ecosystem of communications APIs. The Twilio Add-ons marketplace offers pre-verified vetted options for various use cases such as sentiment analysis, language detection, and spam scoring, which can be integrated into existing applications with minimal code. With the introduction of Twilio Marketplace, developers can browse through available Add-ons, filter by products, and publish their own APIs to reach a wider audience. The rev-share model handles billing, making it easier for developers to monetize their Add-ons. This new feature aims to make communications more intelligent and efficient with less code.
