In their own words
Pipecat
Pipecat is an open-source ecosystem for building voice and multimodal AI agents. Its pipelines can handle voice, video, text, and images, with control over individual frames in a conversation. Because frames move through the pipeline as they are produced, an agent can begin responding before a person has finished speaking. The framework includes interruption handling, turn detection, context management, subagent handoffs, and Pipecat Flows, and its homepage lists more than 200 providers and services for speech, language, and vision. Transports include WebRTC, SIP, and PSTN, alongside client SDKs, a UI kit, metrics, traces, and OpenTelemetry. Teams can run it on infrastructure that supports Python or deploy it to Pipecat Cloud, which adds scaling and observability. Cloud capabilities include telephony, noise cancellation, monitoring, recordings, and persistent transcription storage. Pipecat Cloud is listed at $0.001 per participant minute for Daily WebRTC voice and $0.004 per participant minute for voice and video; connected third-party services using customer keys are billed by their providers.
