About
Daily's open-source Python framework for real-time voice and multimodal agents. Composable pipeline architecture: chain STT, LLM, and TTS processors with built-in turn-taking, interruption handling, and sub-second latency over WebRTC or WebSockets. Integrates every major provider (Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, OpenAI Realtime, Gemini Live) behind one abstraction, so swapping vendors is a one-line change. Client SDKs for web, iOS, Android, and telephony. The de facto open standard for voice agent orchestration. Best for production voice bots, phone agents, and multimodal realtime apps. Limitation: you assemble and operate the stack yourself — managed alternatives like Vapi trade flexibility for convenience.
