About Sent Sent is an infrastructure for sending A2P messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single unified API.

You'll build the demo that gets passed around in a Slack channel. You'll be in the comments when someone asks how Sent compares to Twilio, and you'll have a useful answer ready.
