About

Pipecat is a Python framework for real-time voice and multimodal conversational agents, built around pipelines of processors that stream audio, video and text. It combines speech recognition, language models and text-to-speech, and supports transports such as WebSocket, WebRTC, SIP and PSTN. Multi-agent setups let specialists hand off, fan out in parallel or run as sidecars over a shared bus. Agents can be hosted on Pipecat Cloud or self-hosted, and client SDKs exist for web and mobile.

Use cases: voice-agents, agent-orchestration
