Pipecat is an open-source Python framework (created by Daily) for building realtime voice and multimodal AI agents. It orchestrates pipelines of frames through pluggable services (STT, LLM, TTS, vision) and transports (Daily WebRTC, WebSocket, SmallWebRTC, telephony). Pipecat Cloud adds a hosted platform with a REST control API for deploying agents and starting/stopping agent sessions at scale.
