A Twilio strategy leader says AI can make calls, texts and chatbots feel like one conversation, so customers stop repeating themselves.
Twilio says AI can tie together the ways customers reach a business, so a call, a text and a chat feel like one conversation. The idea comes from Sidharth Ramsinghaney, the company's director of strategy and operations, in an interview with Fast Company published October 28, 2026.
Ramsinghaney explains how AI can create smooth customer experiences across calls, texts and chatbots. A chatbot is a program that answers questions in a chat window. The goal is simple: you should not feel like you start over each time you switch from one channel to another.
He also says customer obsession is still the key to good new ideas. In plain terms, that means paying close attention to what customers actually need, rather than starting with the technology.
Anyone who has explained the same problem twice, once on the phone and again in a chat, knows the frustration. Businesses that serve customers by phone, text or chat are the ones most likely to care about this approach.

If you run a business, test your own service. Contact yourselves by phone, then by text or chat, and see whether the story carries over.
Check whether your customers have to repeat themselves when they move from a call to a text or a chat.
