About Daily

Daily, Inc. develops WebRTC-based real-time communication infrastructure and Pipecat, an open-source framework for building voice and multimodal AI agents. Founded in 2016 by Kwindla Hultman Kramer and Nina Kuruvilla, the San Francisco-based, fully remote company began as a developer platform for embedding low-latency video and audio calling into web and mobile apps, later expanding into AI as demand grew for conversational voice agents. Its core offerings include a global WebRTC API and client SDKs for video/audio calling, plus Pipecat — a widely adopted, BSD-2-licensed open-source Python framework that orchestrates speech-to-text, large language model, and text-to-speech services from more than 150 providers into low-latency conversational pipelines, with client SDKs for JavaScript, React, iOS, Android, and C++. Pipecat Cloud, a managed hosting layer, lets teams deploy and scale Pipecat-built agents in production with built-in telephony, monitoring, and enterprise-grade security, including HIPAA and GDPR compliance. Customers span startups and enterprises building telehealth tools, virtual events, customer-support bots, and other real-time voice and video applications; reported users of Pipecat include teams at OpenAI, AWS, and NVIDIA. Daily competes with communications-infrastructure providers such as Twilio, LiveKit, and Vonage, and with emerging voice-AI orchestration platforms, in a market for embedded real-time communication and conversational AI that has grown alongside enterprise adoption of large language models.
