About Daily
What is Daily?
Daily gives developers the infrastructure to embed live video calls, voice, and AI agents into any app without wrestling with WebRTC complexity. Its APIs manage signaling, TURN servers, and adaptive bitrate so you can focus on the user experience. Daily also powers Pipecat, an open-source framework for conversational AI.
Who is it for?
Daily is designed for developers building telehealth, online tutoring, remote collaboration tools, or voice AI agents. It's also ideal for teams that need a drop-in video widget with custom branding, and startups wanting to avoid managing media servers themselves. However, if you need a highly customized, non-video SaaS product, Daily is not the right fit.
Key features & use cases
Pre-built UI components reduce integration time to hours. Automatic scaling supports from 2 to 1000+ participants per room. Built-in recording and live streaming to platforms like YouTube, plus virtual backgrounds and real-time transcription. For AI developers, Pipecat Cloud enables deployment of voice AI agents on Daily's global infrastructure.
