Agents in Voice AI

Deepgram buys Pipecat maker Daily and launches an open protocol for voice agents

TechCrunch reports Deepgram is acquiring Daily, which maintains the open-source voice AI framework Pipecat; terms weren't disclosed. The companies say Pipecat stays open source, and Deepgram launched the Real-Time Context Standard.

Why it matters: Teams building voice agents on Pipecat keep a vendor-neutral framework, its makers say, as voice AI infrastructure consolidates.
