The author of the text spent their weekend playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons and received a visit from coworkers who wanted to play together. To facilitate communication, they used Twilio to set up a conference line with basically no code. The process involved getting a Twilio account, phone number, creating a TwiML bin with conference instructions, connecting the TwiML to the phone number, and saving it. This setup allowed them to have a 1-hour conversation with their coworkers for under $2 USD. The author suggests that this technical solution can be further customized to add additional features such as SMS support or an Autopilot bot.
