Daily Bots — Build voice-to-voice AI agents with any LLM with Open Source
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.

Hey team! This is really awesome. As dev, but even more as maker, it's super cool and I can't wait to play with bots. Really congrats for this impressive job and wish you all the best here!
@german_merlo1 🙌 Thank you! It's really amazing to see how quickly this space is developing. Ping us if we can help with anything.
Wow- what an amazing launch! Incredible to see how Daily keeps pushing the boundaries on real-time interactions. Congratulations to the full team!
@quinn_favret Thank you, and we love working with the Tavus team! Congratulations on your amazing launch!
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?
@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 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.🚀
The daily bots are crazy fast! Congrats for the entire Daily team on this launch, you are building something that should honestly be standardized when building multimodal agents.
@mert_gerdan Standardization is definitely a big part of the motivation for Daily Bots overall.
- We want developers to be able to write code that they can use with a wide variety of real-time inference services. (Not just Daily.)
- We think that standardization helps an ecosystem grow faster.
- The more inference providers have really good real-time offerings, the more people will understand the nuances of low-level networking, how to optimize for low latency, etc. And that's the area we've always focused on building great tech for!
Hey!
It sounds like an exciting opportunity to build more reliable and engaging relationships with customers. I'm intrigued
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.
@ema_elisi Thank you! Our team is really excited to ship this and hear from the community about this! 🍻
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! 🚀
Awesome launch, @kwindla! Daily Bots seems like a game changer for developers looking to leverage real-time AI in voice and video. The integration with multiple models and the flexibility to run on various infrastructures is really impressive. Can't wait to see the creative applications that will come from this! Upvoted!
So excited for this! Great job @kwindla and team. There are so many use cases this will open up.
@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! 🔥
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!
@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.
Looks interesting, @kwindla! The ability to run both commercial and open models on Daily Bots really opens up possibilities for various applications. I'm curious about the performance. How does the latency compare with other similar platforms, especially for real-time communication?
Also, can you share any specific use cases or success stories from your early adopters? It would be great to see how teams leverage the Open Source SDKs you've developed. Lastly, how easy is it for developers to transition to a different platform if they choose to? The concept of flexibility sounds appealing, but I'd love to know more about the actual implementation. Thanks for sharing this on PH!
@patriciaharris Daily Bots can deliver voice-to-voice latency as low as 500ms, depending on the models you choose. This is substantially faster than most other voice apps. Typical latencies are 1.2 seconds or more.
There are trade-offs: using larger and more capable LLMs tends to be slower than using smaller, faster models. However, we've partnered with Together to make it easy to use the Llama 3.1 models with Daily Bots and together has very fast "time to first token" metrics even with the largest (405B) Llama 3.1 model.
Daily Bots is brand new. But we've worked closely with many partners who have built on Daily and Pipecat to create the pieces that Daily Bot brings together into a single platform. You may have seen Tavus' launch last week. Tavus was #1 product of the day last Thursday.
If you're interested in the open standards that Daily Bots is built on, check out Pipecat and RTVI:

@ivelin_kozarev Thanks! Your profile says "Launching soon!" Can't wait to see what you launch.
Great to see Daily Bots launching on PH! The focus on both open source and commercial models is impressive, and it’s exciting to witness the evolution of voice and video AI. The integration of multi-modal workflows and tools like Pipecat makes it super flexible for developers. Can’t wait to explore the demo and see how it can enhance different applications. Big shoutout to @kwindla for leading this initiative! Excited for what’s next in this space.
@robertthomas2 +1, it'll be really fun to see what makers do with this! Thank you, and it's nice to be back on PH :)
@lilly_chen1 thank you! Definitely look at our telephone offerings, you can dial in to and dialout from Daily Bots.
