Realtime voice, video, and AI for developers

Visit Daily

Daily is a WebRTC-based video and voice infrastructure platform designed for developers who need to build real-time communication features into their applications. It solves the problem of creating low-latency, reliable audio and video calls across different networks and devices, and also provides Pipecat, an open-source framework for building conversational AI agents that can handle voice and multimodal interactions.

The platform offers a Global Mesh Network with points of presence worldwide, WebRTC-native SDKs, and support for both human-to-human and AI-agent calls. Pipecat is a vendor-neutral orchestration framework that integrates with over 80 service providers for LLMs, TTS, ASR, and multimodal AI models, supporting 83 languages. Pipecat Cloud provides managed deployment with automatic scaling, containerized infrastructure, monitoring, and telemetry, plus integrated PSTN and SIP telephony and noise cancellation. Daily also offers enterprise-grade security with end-to-end encryption, HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and GDPR compliance.

Daily is aimed at developers and product teams building real-time voice, video, or AI agent applications. The Video SDK starts with a free tier of 10,000 minutes per month, while Pipecat Cloud uses usage-based pricing. Both are available through a free trial, with additional enterprise plans offering dedicated support and compliance features.
