I'm at AWS re:Invent this week, talking to lots of AWS customers and product teams about voice agents.
I'll be hanging out with @DeepgramAI CEO Scott Stephenson at the Deepgram booth on Thursday. We'll be answering questions about all the big new AWS voice and agent announcements happening this week. Come by and say hi if you're interested in voice AI.
There are three AWS + @pipecat_ai launches at this year's re:Invent:
1. The SageMaker platform now supports bidirectional streaming, with full Pipecat compatibility. Pipecat voice agents can now use Deepgram's speech-to-text and text-to-speech models running on AWS SageMaker. This is a much-requested capability from enterprises that want to run voice agents entirely within their own VPCs using AWS services they already leverage for agent workflows.
2. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is a serverless platform for AI agents. You can deploy Pipecat voice agents to AgentCore, with full support for WebRTC and telephony client connections. We often hear from AWS customers that they'd like to be able to "deploy voice agents to AWS Lambda." One way to think about AgentCore is that it's like Lambda, but designed from the ground up to enable scalable AI agent workloads.
3. You can also *use* Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agents from a Pipecat voice agent. We're seeing more and more production agents that combine a fast, conversational voice AI loop with other parallel tool-calling and agent loops. Pipecat enables these new patterns. Now you can use AgentCore as a flexible part of your voice AI toolkit.
