Twilio and AI

I used Twilio to get input from the user in digits (1-9), each representing a cell on the Tic-Tac-Toe board. Then, I used Gemini AI to play against the human user. Finally, I used the Twilio Messaging API (WhatsApp) to send the updated board when both AI and human players make their moves. I also used Twilio Functions to host the code.

Additional Prize Categories

Twilio Times Two – The project uses Twilio Programmable Messaging (WhatsApp Sandbox), Twilio Programmable Voice and, Twilio Functions.
Entertaining Endeavors – The project creatively combines a classic game with advanced AI technology, making it not just a simple Tic Tac Toe game but an engaging battle of wits against an AI opponent. By leveraging Twilio to receive user inputs and send real-time game updates via WhatsApp, the project ensures continuous engagement and keeps the players entertained throughout the game.
