FreeLLMDeepgram acquires Daily, the maker of open‑source Pipecat voice AI framework
Deepgram buys Daily to integrate Pipecat, keep it open‑source, and expand its real‑time voice and video AI infrastructure.
Deepgram announced on Thursday that it is acquiring Daily, the company behind the popular open‑source voice AI framework Pipecat.
The deal amount was not disclosed, but Deepgram said Pipecat will remain open‑source and vendor‑neutral.
Daily, which also provides hosted voice and video call infrastructure, has raised more than $62 million from investors including Tiger Global and Nat Friedman.
Deepgram recently reached unicorn status after a $130 million Series C round and aims to use Pipecat to improve real‑time voice and video pipelines and to develop its Real‑Time Context Standard (RCS) protocol.
Both firms were part of the same 2016 Y Combinator batch, and Daily co‑founder Kwindla Kramer cited Deepgram CEO Scott Stephenson’s commitment to open‑source as a key factor in the acquisition.
Ce que cela signifie pour vous
Developers will now have a unified, open‑source stack for building voice agents that can plug in any speech‑to‑text, large language, or text‑to‑speech model. Keeping Pipecat open‑source preserves a free option for teams that prefer self‑hosted or locally run models, aligning with the interests of users seeking non‑proprietary AI infrastructure.
