Twilio is adding ‘contextual awareness’ to its Segment CDP, which in plainer English means data stored in Segment will be available when creating event-triggered, real-time messages.

Twilio separately announced a multi-year partnership with Microsoft to speed the adoption of conversational AI for customer engagement.
