Twilioflow provides:

  1. A Workflow approach for keeping your business logic inside models
  2. Concise Ruby way for specifying voice responses and key press actions within states
  3. Clean and RESTful controllers that understand Twilio requests
  4. Automatic generation of TwiML based on current interaction state
  5. HTML scaffolding to quickly test your interactions in the browser

Here’s a snippit from the included example. It defines the :hello state.
