Assistant
An Assistant is a conversational application or bot that you can deploy across different channels with Twilio's Autopilot.
Each Assistant is independent of other Assistants – you can create multiple Assistants that serve different purposes. For example, you may wish to create an Assistant for a lead-qualification-bot and a different one for support-bot.
All Autopilot REST API resources use the following base URL:
https://autopilot.twilio.com/v1/
