Deploy voice agents with Pipecat and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime – Part 1

This post is a collaboration between AWS and Pipecat.

Deploying intelligent voice agents that maintain natural, human-like conversations requires streaming to users where they are, across web, mobile, and phone channels, even under heavy traffic and unreliable network conditions. Even small delays can break the conversational flow, causing users to perceive the agent as unresponsive or unreliable. For use cases such as customer support, virtual assistants and outbound campaigns, a natural flow is critical for user experience. In this series of posts, you will learn how streaming architectures help address these challenges using Pipecat voice agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime.

In Part 1, you will learn how to deploy Pipecat voice agents on AgentCore Runtime using different network transport approaches including WebSockets, WebRTC and telephony integration, with practical deployment guidance and code samples.
