Conversations in the AI Era: Manchester Meetup Recap

Twilio and Ciptex hosted the Conversations in the AI Era meetup in Manchester on September 3, 2026, bringing together developers, tech leads, and founders to discuss practical applications of AI and communications technology. Darragh O’Connor demonstrated how a SIP trunk could connect callers directly to a livestream, emphasizing the value of selecting tools based on the problem being solved. Matthew Duggan of Ciptex explored architectures in which AI and human agents share conversation state and tools, framing human handoffs as changes in ownership rather than failure recovery. Paul D’Ambra of PostHog addressed the increased code-review workload created by inexpensive AI code generation, describing AI review agents that helped manage higher pull-request volumes and reduce reverts. The recurring Manchester and London meetup series will continue with its next event scheduled for November 4, 2026.
