Summary

Twilio hosted a Flexathon, an event where 25 developers from around the world came together to build applications using Twilio's new programmable contact center platform, Flex, at Twilio HQ. The attendees shared their demos and provided feedback on the Flex console provisioning experience and documentation. Feedback gathered during the Flexathon was incorporated into the product, allowing Twilio to onboard additional customers. Scorpion developer Josiah Elliot attended the event and found it fantastic, praising Flex for its simplicity and power, which gave him control over his features without worrying about the details. He believes Flex will make his life easier by handling complex logic and tasks, allowing him to focus on delivering a better product to his clients. The platform is expected to enable Scorpion to scale up their chat product massively and deliver new features.
