What is Pipecat?
Pipecat is a framework for building voice (and multimodal) conversational agents. Think personal coaches, meeting assistants, children's storytelling toys, customer support bots, intake systems, and clever social companions.
You can start running Pipecat on your local machine and then move the agent processes to the cloud when ready. You can also add a 📞 phone number, 🖼 image output, 📺 video input, use different LLMs, and more.
By default, to minimize dependencies, only the core framework functionality is available. Some third-party AI services require additional dependencies that you can install: `pip install "pipecat-ai[option,...]"`
Your project may or may not need these, so they are provided as optional requirements. Here’s the list:
**AI Services:** Anthropic, Azure, Fal, Moondream, OpenAI, PlayHT, Silero, Whisper
**Transports:** Local, Websocket, Daily
