Twilio Announces the Honorees of the 2024 AI Startup Searchlight Awards

Twilio’s Global Search for Startups Forging the Future of Customer Engagement and Communications with AI Celebrates Six Standout Innovators

Twilio (NYSE: TWLO), the customer engagement platform that drives real-time, personalized experiences for today’s leading brands, today announced the honorees of its AI Startup Searchlight awards, which recognizes innovative startups that are creatively using Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Twilio to enhance digital communications and experiences for their customers.

The AI Startup Searchlight honorees are pioneering the practical application of AI across industries including healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and more. An expert judging panel comprised of Khozema Shipchandler, CEO of Twilio, Brandon Leen, Head of Twilio Ventures, and Sinead Bovell, Futurist, AI Expert, and Founder of WAYE, evaluated applicants from around the world based on their level of creativity, business and technical impact, and potential for creating long-term benefits for customers.

“We introduced CustomerAI last year to empower businesses to unlock better customer engagement with AI,” said Khozema Shipchandler, CEO of Twilio. “It’s inspiring to see how the AI Startup Searchlight honorees are doing exactly that – innovating with data, communications, and the power of AI to transform their customer relationships.”

“I am so impressed by how these startups are leveraging AI in new ways to solve pervasive problems in such a diverse range of industries," said Sinead Bovell, Futurist, AI Expert, and Founder of WAYE. “Though we are still in the early days of AI and it will continue to evolve, this cohort is a testament to the exciting potential of the technology. Through this initiative, Twilio has really shone a light on the opportunities AI creates to strengthen relationships between businesses and their customers.”
