What it does

For developers: visual AI workflows and public APIs. For ecommerce: AI assistants that support and sell.

Build AI agent workflows on a visual canvas. Drag nodes, call any LLM, run in parallel, and deploy as a public REST API — no code, no boilerplate.

Drag, connect, and run AI agent workflows from a visual canvas. Works with any major LLM — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more. Parallel execution, live streaming, and a public API — no code required. Every agent is just LLM calls, tool calls, and routing logic. Pipecat puts that graph on a canvas where you can see, edit, and debug every edge in real time. Nodes with no shared dependencies run concurrently. A three-branch graph finishes in the time of its slowest branch — not the sum of all three. Enable a workflow, get a POST /flows/{slug}/invoke endpoint with an API key. Sync, async, or SSE stream. Call it from anywhere in one line of curl. Drag and drop nodes onto an infinite canvas.…from app.pipecat.in

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
