Deepgram vs GN Group

Deepgram acquires Daily to bolster voice AI infrastructure

Deepgram, a leading provider of speech-to-text and voice AI models, has announced the acquisition of Daily, the company behind the popular open-source voice AI framework Pipecat. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Deepgram has committed to keeping Pipecat open source. Pipecat manages voice and video streams, integrating STT, LLMs, and TTS while reducing latency. Deepgram aims to leverage Pipecat to enhance its real-time voice and video infrastructure, allowing developers to build expressive voice agents with pluggable models. Additionally, Deepgram is launching the Real-Time Context Standard (RCS), an open protocol co-developed with the Pipecat team, to standardize metadata in voice AI interactions. Daily had raised over $62 million from investors like Tiger Global and has been part of Y Combinator, like Deepgram.

Developer Builds Multilingual AI Voice Agent 'Sadie'

A developer, Ayush Shinde, built Sadie — a multilingual AI voice agent — during the "10 Days of AI Voice Agents — #VoiceForBharat Edition" challenge. Over ten days he implemented real-time voice conversations, Hindi-English code-mixing support, persistent (permissioned) memory, tool integration, outbound phone calling via SIP, human escalation via Discord webhooks, an analytics dashboard, and multi-agent specialist handoffs (grammar, maths, full-stack). The system integrates LiveKit for real-time transport, Deepgram for STT, Google Gemini as the LLM brain, and Murf Falcon for TTS, with SQLite for memory and Next.js/Chart.js for analytics. The post documents architecture, implementation details, encountered bugs (telephony SIP encryption, logging issues, import paths), and instructions to run the public repository and demo.

• Ayush Shinde built an AI voice agent named Sadie during the "10 Days of AI Voice Agents — #VoiceForBharat Edition" challenge.
• Sadie supports real-time voice, Hindi-English code-mixed conversations, permissioned persistent memory (SQLite), external tool integration, outbound phone calls, human escalation, analytics, and specialist agent handoffs.

10-Day AI Voice Agent Stops Scam Calls

A developer built 'Suraksha Saathi', an AI voice agent prototype to help families detect and respond to scam calls in 10 days. The agent uses Deepgram for speech recognition, a Google Gemini model for reasoning, Murf AI's Falcon TTS for fast speech output, and LiveKit for real-time connectivity. Features include Hindi support via Devanagari-only output, a consent-based memory to remember callers, a panic button that alerts a human fraud team via Discord, real-time scam tracking dashboard, and mid-call voice-engine handoffs to escalate to an investigator persona. The author published the post on DEV and shared source code on GitHub.
