Deepgram is positioning itself as the full-stack layer for voice AI, extending beyond its original speech-to-text and text-to-speech APIs into voice-agent infrastructure and on-device deployment alongside the cloud product. The conversation around it runs across conference and expo appearances, announcements for its newest speech and voice-agent models, and integration news as other platforms add it as a selectable voice engine. Practitioner discussion covers configuration detail, like tuning interruption handling in a live voice agent, and comparison contexts where it sits alongside other speech-model providers. Hiring activity in newer markets also surfaces in the mix, pointing to active geographic expansion.

Business Profile

Founded in San Francisco in 2015 by CEO Scott Stephenson, Deepgram built its business around speech-to-text and text-to-speech APIs for developers building voice products, with customers including NASA, Five9, Wistia, and Telnyx. The company raised a $130M Series C led by AVP in January 2026 at a $1.3B valuation, alongside an acquisition of voice-ordering startup OfOne, and reported crossing $100M in annual recurring revenue in August 2026. Independent and privately held with roughly 325 employees, Deepgram has since opened an Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore and named a new chief product officer as it extends beyond transcription into fuller conversational infrastructure.

Measures how easily your agents can build on it — API, MCP, CLI, SDK, docs depth. Methodology →

Deepgram has built out a full agent surface on top of its core speech APIs: an MCP server for connecting directly into agent clients like Claude Code and Cursor, a CLI, and a Voice Agent API for chaining speech-to-text, an LLM, and text-to-speech into one conversational loop. Agent Skills published on GitHub extend that further, giving builders reusable patterns for wiring voice into agentic workflows.
