Deepgram and Daily committed to keeping the Pipecat framework open source and free under its existing BSD V2 license.

Pipecat is an open-source framework that orchestrates voice and video streams while linking speech-to-text, large language models, and text-to-speech components to minimize latency in AI applications.

Daily co-founder Kwindla Kramer chose Deepgram's acquisition offer over interest from other potential buyers because Deepgram CEO Scott Stephenson committed to keeping Pipecat open source and vendor-neutral.

Deepgram co-developed the Real-Time Context Standard open protocol with the Pipecat team to pass audio context metadata—such as whispers, tone, and model guidance—between voice agent components.

Deepgram and Daily are establishing an independent Pipecat Foundation governed by a steering committee that will include competing companies to manage the framework.

The Daily engineering team will join Deepgram as part of the acquisition, with Daily co-founder Kwindla Hultman Kramer serving as Deepgram's head of open source while Deepgram sells, supports, and develops Daily's existing product suite.
