The Google Wave platform is a unified communications tool that allows real-time communication with friends and fosters collaboration. It was originally conceived and built at the Google I/O hack-a-thon on the same day as its unveiling, and has been featured on the Google Wave Developer blog. When added to a wave, Twiliobot turns phone numbers into click-to-call links, enhancing the platform's functionality. The platform is currently being released slowly to early adopters for testing, and users can request an invitation to use it.
