Why Intelligent Discovery?

why-intelligent-discovery page anchor

Twilio customers often face challenges locating relevant information within the Twilio Console. The current troubleshooting process can be time-consuming, potentially leading to support tickets and business disruptions. This can introduce significant costs, delays, and loss of customer trust. The longer an issue persists, the higher the cost and the greater the risk to customer relationships.

There is a clear demand for a self-serve utility that allows businesses to continue operations smoothly before resorting to support tickets. Such an assistant increases the reach of timely help to everyone, enabling customers to resolve issues faster and manage problems without losing the trust of their end customers.

Intelligent Discovery caters to both non-technical business users and technical users.
