Build hosted AI agents on Daily Bots, the Open Source cloud for ultra low latency voice and video. Use commercial and open models. Incorporate tool use, telephony, vision, etc. If your needs evolve beyond Daily Bots, run your code anywhere that supports RTVI.

Hi Product Hunt! Today we’re sharing Daily Bots, a hosted platform for real-time voice and video AI bots. We built Daily Bots to help developers ship and scale voice and video agents, using Open Source SDKs and deployed on Daily’s global infrastructure. For the past 18 months, we've been experimenting with and building tools for voice-to-voice and real-time video AI. We've helped our customers ship games, meeting co-pilots, medical documentation systems, customer support agents, virtual interviewers, teaching assistants, low-code voice AI platforms, virtual avatar infrastructure, and much more. We love this new world of generative AI and we want to make real-time AI accessible to every hacker, maker, and product team. We've helped create two big Open Source toolkits for real-time AI. Pipecat enables server-side "orchestration" of multi-model, multi-modal AI workflows. And RTVI is an open standard for connecting clients to real-time voice and video inference backends. Daily Bots is built on Pipecat and RTVI. You can build a Daily Bots application using the Open Source RTVI SDKs for Web, iOS, and Android; ship fast and scale quickly on Daily's global WebRTC infrastructure; and retain the flexibility to move to a different platform or run your own infra if you want to in the future. With Daily Bots, you can create AI agents that talk naturally, with fast voice-to-voice response times, interruption support, and multi-turn context management. You can use both commercial and open models. We’ve partnered with Anthropic, Cartesia, Deepgram, and Together AI. (And you can use any other LLM that supports OpenAI-compatible APIs.) Finally, you can buy phone numbers from us and configure your bot to accept dial-in telephone calls. We're excited to see what you build. Let us know what you're thinking about making with Daily Bots. And if you just want to experiment with a few LLMs, prompts, and voices, check out this demo: https://demo.dailybots.ai/

So awesome! We've now built a whole demo on and that was a great experience. Looking forward to sussing out DailyBots before launch. One problem with pipecat was the scalability of the backend was a little wonky (literally just cloning python subprocesses). This feels like it's taken care of more elegantly here? Can someone confirm?
Kwindla Kramer
@pj_mukh Implementing scalability elegantly was one of our main goals for Daily Bots. We have a lot of experience running infrastructure, so I'm confident we can scale efficiently -- both so individual customers see fast bot joins and so we can charge low prices that enable a broad range of use cases. Having said that, forking Python processes is actually part of how we achieve fast join times. Avoiding the Python interpreter startup time is helpful! But we also have capacity routing via queues, autoscaling that leverages the cluster scaling we do for WebRTC at Daily, etc.

Wow, this sounds amazing! Daily Bots could really change the way developers approach real-time AI applications. The ability to leverage open-source SDKs and integrate various AI models is a game changer. I'm also excited about the flexibility to run it anywhere that supports RTVI. Big shoutout to @kwindla and the team for putting so much thought into making this accessible for makers and hackers alike. Can't wait to dive into the demo and start exploring the potential!

@hassaan_raza97 Thank you, and thanks for working with us. Super exciting to see Tavus powering digital twins for developers. Looking forward to your demo at the Product Hunt meet up tonight! 🔥
Super cool! I’m excited to try the voice to voice over a telephone feature!
varun
@lilly_chen1 thank you! Definitely look at our telephone offerings, you can dial in to and dialout from Daily Bots.

Wow, this is an exciting launch, @kwindla! Daily Bots really opens up a world of possibilities for developers working with voice and video AI. The combination of ultra low latency and Open Source SDKs is a game changer. I'm particularly intrigued by how Pipecat and RTVI facilitate the orchestration of AI workflows. It’s great to see a platform that not only supports commercial models but also fosters innovation through open-source tools. The potential for applications like medical documentation and virtual assistants is massive. Can't wait to see what the community builds with it! Upvoted! 🚀
Akhil
Thanks @elke_qin! We're excited about the potential too :)

Wow, this is awesome. Thanks for providing this to the community I have a domain called Voice2voice dot ai. I have been thinking about what to hack with this, and you've just made my path a lot easier.🚀

Hi there, can you incorporate Australian numbers? I am already using one from another company for the first product that works off ChatGPT 4o and I am loving it. Want to try out yours for the second product we'll be launching soon.
Ema Elisi
This is an exciting launch, @kwindla! Daily Bots really seems to take the pain out of building real-time AI agents. The flexibility with Open Source SDKs and the ability to scale on Daily's infrastructure are huge advantages that developers will appreciate. I love how you've emphasized ease of use while still allowing for deep customization. Plus, the integration with commercial models opens up so many possibilities. Can’t wait to explore the potential this platform has for voice AI applications! Upvoting and looking forward to more innovations from you all.

Hey, I'm wondering what some of the most interesting or unexpected use cases you've seen so far have been? For developers looking to get started, what would you say is the learning curve like for creating a basic voice bot using your platform? Congrats on the launch!
Kwindla Kramer
@kyrylosilin Daily Bots isn't a low-code tool. We're aiming at developers who want to build on Open Source and understand some of the architectural details. I think Vapi (https://vapi.ai/) has the best combination of powerful capabilities and gentle learning curve of any of the voice AI platforms. Having said that, a Daily Bots "hello world" voice app in JavaScript is less than 20 lines of code. I think the most surprising thing to me about the voice AI space is how many people are building their own private voice agents. It feels like a new frontier for personal project hacking. Build your own virtual assistant/co-pilot/therapist! I also think there's going to be a whole new generation of voice-enabled hardware that works really well and that we all take for granted within a few years.
