IBM Introduces New Watson Features to the Twilio Marketplace - Tech Trends on CIO Today

Twilio, which functions as a communication tool for developers and businesses, will make both offerings available as add-ons through its recently announced marketplace, according to IBM. Developers who currently access Watson technology via Bluemix, IBM's cloud platform, can also use the two new Watson offerings. The new add-ons are designed to offer additional message enhancement capabilities through natural language processing to help businesses understand sentiment, keywords, entities and high-level concepts from text messages, with the goal of providing enterprises with actionable insights from the unstructured data, IBM said. The add-ons will be pre-integrated with Twilio's APIs (application program interfaces). Twilio add-ons are designed to make it easier for developers to integrate with other platforms and technologies, according to IBM.
