## Summary

Deepgram is acquiring Daily, the company behind the open-source Pipecat framework, to expand its voice and real-time AI infrastructure. The deal brings Daily’s team and technology into Deepgram as demand grows for tools that let developers build AI agents that communicate by voice and video.

The companies did not disclose the price and said Pipecat will remain open-source and vendor-neutral. Pipecat coordinates real-time audio and video with speech recognition, language models and speech generation, while Daily also hosts calling infrastructure. Daily has raised more than $62 million; Deepgram reached a $130 million valuation in a Series C funding round earlier this year. The article also reports that Deepgram is launching an open protocol called Real-Time Context Standard, but the supplied text cuts off before giving details.
