Nice! Clearly a big and underserved market for voice AI solutions.

Would be nice to have some code examples for using your TTS API with Pipecat.

I have to make that.. I did make one for LiveKit which utilizes our websocket API designed for real-time conversation API:

btw I did try to first make it with Pipecat and was having some annoying windows issues with getting libraries installed for daily etc. so I posted something that was easily reproducible for the tutorial...

Hi! Pipecat maintainer here. There is no Windows restriction for Pipecat, in general. The DailyTransport does not support Windows, but works on WSL. Though, you don't have to use the DailyTransport. Pipecat has interchangeable transport support. You can do all of your testing on a free, P2P WebRTC transport (SmallWebRTCTransport, based on aiortc) without system restrictions.

Reach out on Discord if you have any challenges.
