About Pipecat
Pipecat is an open source Python framework for building voice and multimodal conversational AI applications. It handles orchestration of speech recognition, language models, and text-to-speech components, letting developers wire together voice interactions without managing low-level audio pipelines.
Best for
Developers building voice AI prototypes or production agents who want to focus on logic rather than audio plumbing.
Use cases
- Building voice agents that listen, reason, and respond in real time
- Creating multimodal chatbots that process voice and other input types
- Prototyping conversational AI without audio infrastructure work
