Deepgram announces acquisition of Daily

Deepgram announced it was acquiring Daily, the creator of the Pipecat voice-agent framework. The companies said Pipecat would remain free and open source while they established an independent foundation.

What happened

Deepgram announced the acquisition at its October 29 Speak event in San Francisco. Daily brought real-time audio and video infrastructure and Pipecat, its framework for connecting voice-agent components. The announcement did not specify a closing date. [1]

The companies said Pipecat would retain its existing BSD license and that an independent Pipecat Foundation was being established. Those commitments accompanied the acquisition announcement; the broader Deepgram Voice Agent Platform was described as forthcoming. [1]
