What is Daily?
Daily provides WebRTC infrastructure for embedding realtime voice and video into applications. The platform supports human conversations and AI-driven voice agents with ultra-low latency. It serves developers building communication features without managing their own infrastructure.
Daily is a realtime communication platform built on global WebRTC infrastructure operating since 2016. It delivers a median first-hop latency of 13ms across 75 or more points of presence worldwide. The platform handles voice calls, video calls, and AI-powered voice agents through open-source orchestration tools like Pipecat. Developers can embed these capabilities directly into their products using SDKs rather than building from scratch. Daily maintains 99.99% uptime and enterprise-grade security compliance. It is purpose-built for realtime interactions and does not cover batch processing or analytics workloads.
