Hi HN,<p>I am the co-founder of Plivo.<p>Back in the summer of 2012 while we graduated out of Ycombinator, we released APIs for developers to integrate SMS and Voice in their apps. Over the last 7 years that has helped us grow to 70,000 customers.<p>The abstraction of complex telecom infra via APIs in 2012 was a game changer in many ways. It gave web and mobile developers the ability to add powerful functionality in a few days.<p>Today we are really excited to announce the Public Beta of PHLO (Plivo High Level Objects) - A whole new visual way of integrating Voice and SMS in minutes. With PHLO you get:<p>- Pre-built use case templates with the option to add custom code
- 100% functional parity with Plivo API & XML
- Serverless architecture hosted on Plivo infrastructure
- Offered for free, regardless of scale<p>Here's a quick concept video we made:
