What it is

Plivo is a CPaaS provider competing with Twilio that has been adding AI primitives — streaming ASR, LLM hooks, and TTS — for building voice agents on top of its carrier network. It is particularly strong for India outbound and a common Twilio alternative for global SMS+voice workloads.

Best for: Plivo customers (especially in India/SEA) adding AI to existing programmable voice.
Watch out for: Newer entrant in agent space vs Twilio's ConversationRelay.
