Infrastructure for live conversations

Developers use Deepgram to turn audio into text, generate spoken responses and run voice agents. Its Flux model handles interruptions during conversations, while customers can customize models for specialist terminology and acoustic conditions.

Restaurant ordering joins the platform

The acquired OfOne team and technology now anchor Deepgram for Restaurants, serving restaurant and drive-thru voice automation. More than 1,300 organizations use Deepgram APIs; the company will develop its platform and expand internationally, including in Europe.
