How does this work?

Daily Bots is built on two open-source technologies:

• Pipecat - Python library for building real-time agent
• RTVI - Open-standard for Real-Time Voice [and Video] Inference

This project makes use of realtime-ai, realtime-ai-react and realtime-ai-daily to interact with the Daily Bot.

Learn more about the RTVI web client libraries on the docs.

Configuration

All Voice Client configuration can be found in the rtvi.config.ts file. You can edit any prompts, services of config settings in this file.

API routes

This project exposes three server-side routes:

• api/route.ts
• optional: api/dialin/route.ts
• optional: api/dialout/route.ts

The routes project a secure way to pass any required secrets or configuration directly to the Daily Bots API. Your NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL must point to your /api route and passed to the VoiceClient.

The routes are passed a config array and services map, which can be passed to the Daily Bots REST API, or modified securely.

Daily Bots https://api.daily.co/v1/bots/start has some required properties, which you can read more about here. You must set:

• bot_profile
• max_duration
• config
• services
• Optional, if using OpenAI: api_keys
