Pipecat is an open source ecosystem for building voice and multimodal AI agents. It provides everything you need to create, deploy, and scale real-time AI applications that can see, hear, and speak. The framework is free to use under the BSD-2 license, and works with any AI provider and any hosting environment — you pay only for the services you choose.

​
The Pipecat Ecosystem

Pipecat

Open source Python framework for building voice and multimodal AI pipelines. Orchestrate 150+ AI services with ultra-low latency.

Pipecat Clients

Client SDKs for JavaScript, React, React Native, iOS, Android, and C++. Connect users to your agents via web and mobile.

Pipecat Cloud

Managed hosting platform for deploying and scaling Pipecat agents in production with built-in infrastructure.

​
How It All Fits Together

A typical Pipecat application has a client and a server. The client connects users via browser, mobile app, or phone. The server runs a Pipecat pipeline that processes audio, runs LLMs, and generates speech in real-time. Your hosting provider — Pipecat Cloud or self-hosted — manages deployment and scales instances to handle concurrent sessions.
