It's time to start building our application, and in this chapter, we're going to work with the twilio cloud tools.
0:09
In particular, we're going to go to our twilio dashboard and work with something called
0:13
Twilio Studio, Studio is a way for us to create what you would think a
0:17
largely of as the user experience for the user interaction, that people working with our chat application are going to have we will find,
0:25
what messages we send and what kind of responses we allow. For example, what kind of cake would you like, about a small,
0:31
medium or large? We're going to be able to check things like they said small medium and large. If it's something else.
0:36
Well, too bad that's not the right kind of cake we offer. Please pick one of the right options.
0:40
And so, like that kind of work flow we're going to build in Twilio Studio But Twilio studio is not the whole application,
0:46
not even close. It needs way more information than we give it, so we're going to integrate External API's like what is the menu?
0:54
What is currently for sale? What kind of toppings can you get for a cake at Cloud City Cake company. And then once you've chosen your cake,
1:01
how much does a cake like that cost? What is a small chocolate cake cost today at Cloud City Cake Company?
1:07
Then finally, once we gather up all the information and the cake that they want
1:10
to order, we're gonna post that over to an API that we're gonna build during
1:14
this course in flask. And that's where we're going to save that to our database Tell the Bakers it's time to start making that cake.
1:21
Send them an email receipt, all those kinds of things around that order. So we're going to get started building this user interaction in twilio studio,
1:29
and I'm going to start plugging Python and external API s into it later in the course.
