+
+### Python Code Style
+
+We use Ruff for code linting and formatting. Please ensure your code passes all linting checks before submitting a PR.
+
+### Docstring Conventions
+
+We follow Google-style docstrings with these specific conventions:
+
+- Class docstrings should fully document all parameters used in `__init__`
+- We don't require separate docstrings for `__init__` methods when parameters are documented in the class docstring
+- Property methods should have docstrings explaining their purpose and return value
+
+Example of correctly documented class:
+
+```python
+class MyClass:
+    """Class description.
+
+    Additional details about the class.
+
+    Args:
+        param1: Description of first parameter.
+        param2: Description of second parameter.
+    """
+
+    def __init__(self, param1, param2):
+        # No docstring required here as parameters are documented above
+        self.param1 = param1
+        self.param2 = param2
+
+    @property
+    def some_property(self) -> str:

-## A simple voice agent running locally
+## 🛠️ Hacking on the framework itself
 
-Here is a very basic Pipecat bot that greets a user when they join a real-time session. We'll use [Daily](https://daily.co) for real-time media transport, and [Cartesia](https://cartesia.ai/) for text-to-speech.
+1. Set up a virtual environment before following these instructions. From the root of the repo:
 
-```python
-import asyncio
+   ```shell
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate
+   ```
 
-from pipecat.frames.frames import TextFrame
-from pipecat.pipeline.pipeline import Pipeline
-from pipecat.pipeline.task import PipelineTask
-from pipecat.pipeline.runner import PipelineRunner
-from pipecat.services.cartesia import CartesiaTTSService
-from pipecat.transports.services.daily import DailyParams, DailyTransport
+2. Install the development dependencies:
 
-async def main():
-  # Use Daily as a real-time media transport (WebRTC)
-  transport = DailyTransport(
-    room_url=...,
-    token="", # leave empty. Note: token is _not_ your api key
-    bot_name="Bot Name",
-    params=DailyParams(audio_out_enabled=True))
+   ```shell
+   pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
+   ```
 
-  # Use Cartesia for Text-to-Speech
-  tts = CartesiaTTSService(
-    api_key=...,
-    voice_id=...
-  )
+3. Install the git pre-commit hooks (these help ensure your code follows project rules):
 
-  # Simple pipeline that will process text to speech and output the result
-  pipeline = Pipeline([tts, transport.output()])
+   ```shell
+   pre-commit install
+   ```
 
-  # Create Pipecat processor that can run one or more pipelines tasks
-  runner = PipelineRunner()
+4. Install the `pipecat-ai` package locally in editable mode:
 
-  # Assign the task callable to run the pipeline
-  task = PipelineTask(pipeline)
+   ```shell
+   pip install -e .
+   ```
 
-  # Register an event handler to play audio when a
-  # participant joins the transport WebRTC session
-  @transport.event_handler("on_first_participant_joined")

-  asyncio.run(main())
-```
+6. (Optional) If you want to use this package from another directory:
 
-Run it with:
-
-```shell
-python app.py
-```
-
-Daily provides a prebuilt WebRTC user interface. While the app is running, you can visit at `https://<yourdomain>.daily.co/<room_url>` and listen to the bot say hello!
-
-## WebRTC for production use
-
-WebSockets are fine for server-to-server communication or for initial development. But for production use, you’ll need client-server audio to use a protocol designed for real-time media transport. (For an explanation of the difference between WebSockets and WebRTC, see [this post.](https://www.daily.co/blog/how-to-talk-to-an-llm-with-your-voice/#webrtc))
-
-One way to get up and running quickly with WebRTC is to sign up for a Daily developer account. Daily gives you SDKs and global infrastructure for audio (and video) routing. Every account gets 10,000 audio/video/transcription minutes free each month.
-
-Sign up [here](https://dashboard.daily.co/u/signup) and [create a room](https://docs.daily.co/reference/rest-api/rooms) in the developer Dashboard.
-
-## Hacking on the framework itself
-
-_Note: You may need to set up a virtual environment before following these instructions. From the root of the repo:_
-
-```shell
-python3 -m venv venv
-source venv/bin/activate
-```
-
-Install the development dependencies:
-
-```shell
-pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
-```
-
-Install the git pre-commit hooks (these help ensure your code follows project rules):
-
-```shell
-pre-commit install
-```
-
-Install the `pipecat-ai` package locally in editable mode:
-
-```shell
-pip install -e .
-```
-
-The `-e` or `--editable` option allows you to modify the code without reinstalling.
-
-To include optional dependencies, add them to the install command. For example:
-
-```shell
-pip install -e ".[daily,deepgram,cartesia,openai,silero]"     # Updated for the services you're using
-```
-
-If you want to use this package from another directory:
-
-```shell
-pip install "path_to_this_repo[option,...]"
-```
+   ```shell
+   pip install "path_to_this_repo[option,...]"
+   ```
 
 ### Running tests
 
+Install the test dependencies:
+
+```shell
+pip install -r test-requirements.txt
+```
+
 From the root directory, run:
 
 ```shell
 pytest
 ```

-# Chatbot with canonical-metrics
-
-This project implements a chatbot using a pipeline architecture that integrates audio processing, transcription, and a language model for conversational interactions. The chatbot operates within a daily communication environment, utilizing various services for text-to-speech and language model responses.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Audio Input and Output**: Captures microphone input and plays back audio responses.
-- **Voice Activity Detection**: Utilizes Silero VAD to manage audio input intelligently.
-- **Text-to-Speech**: Integrates ElevenLabs TTS service to convert text responses into audio.
-- **Language Model Interaction**: Uses OpenAI's GPT-4 model to generate responses based on user input.
-- **Transcription Services**: Captures and transcribes participant speech for analytics.
-- **Metrics Collection**: Sends audio data for analysis via Canonical Metrics Service.
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Python 3.10+
-- `python-dotenv`
-- Additional libraries from the `pipecat` package.
-
-## Setup
-
-1. Clone the repository.
-2. Install the required packages.
-3. Set up environment variables for API keys:
-   - `OPENAI_API_KEY`
-   - `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`
-   - `CANONICAL_API_KEY`
-   - `CANONICAL_API_URL`
-4. Run the script.
-
-## Usage
-
-The chatbot introduces itself and engages in conversations, providing brief and creative responses. Designed for flexibility, it can support multiple languages with appropriate configuration.
-
-## Events
-
-- Participants joining or leaving the call are handled dynamically, adjusting the chatbot's behavior accordingly.
-
-
-ℹ️ The first time, things might take extra time to get started since VAD (Voice Activity Detection) model needs to be downloaded.
-
-## Get started
-
-```python
-python3 -m venv venv
-source venv/bin/activate
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-cp env.example .env # and add your credentials
-
-```
-
-## Run the server
-
-```bash
-python server.py
-```
-
-Then, visit `http://localhost:7860/` in your browser to start a chatbot session.
-
-## Build and test the Docker image
-
-```
-docker build -t chatbot .
-docker run --env-file .env -p 7860:7860 chatbot
-```

+# Daily Custom Tracks
+
+This example shows how to send and receive Daily custom tracks. We will run a simple `daily-python` application to send an audio file with a custom track (named "pipecat") to a room. Then, the Pipecat bot will mirror that custom track into another custom track (named "pipecat-mirror") in the same room.
+
+## Get started
+
+```python
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Run the bot
+
+Start the bot by giving it a Daily room URL.
+
+```bash
+python bot.py -u ROOM_URL
+```
+
+The bot will wait for the first participant to join. Then, it will mirror a custom track named "pipecat" into a new custom track named "pipecat-mirror".
+
+## Run the sender
+
+Now, run the custom track sender. This is a simple `daily-python` application that opens and audio file and sends it as a custom track to the same Daily room.
+
+```bash
+python custom_track_sender.py -u ROOM_URL -i office-ambience-mono-16000.mp3
+```
+
+## Open client
+
+Finally, open the client so you can hear both custom tracks.
+
+```bash
+open index.html
+```
+
+Once the client is opened, copy the URL of the Daily room and join it. You should be able to select which custom track you want to hear.

+# Daily Multi Translation
+
+This example shows how to use Daily to stream multiple simultaneous translations using a single transport. Daily provides custom tracks and in this example we will simultaneously translate incoming audio in English to Spanish, French and German, each of them being sent to a custom track.
+
+## Get started
+
+```python
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+cp env.example .env # and add your credentials
+
+```
+
+## Run the server
+
+```bash
+python server.py
+```
+
+Then, visit `http://localhost:7860/` in your browser. This will open a Daily Prebuilt room where you will speak in English (make sure you are not muted).
+
+## Open client
+
+Next, you need to open the client that will listen to the translations.
+
+```bash
+open index.html
+```
+
+Once the client is opened, copy the URL of the Daily room created above and join it. You should be able to select which translation you want to hear.
+
+## Build and test the Docker image
+
+```
+docker build -t daily-multi-translation .
+docker run --env-file .env -p 7860:7860 daily-multi-translation
+```

 # Deploying Pipecat to Modal.com
 
-Barebones deployment example for [modal.com](https://www.modal.com)
+Deployment example for [modal.com](https://www.modal.com). This example demonstrates how to deploy a FastAPI webapp to Modal with an RTVI compatible `/connect` endpoint that launches a Pipecat pipeline in a separate Modal container and returns a room/token for the client to join. This example also supports providing a parameter to the `/connect` endpoint for specifying which Pipecat pipeline to launch; openai, gemini, or vllm. The vllm pipeline points to a self-hosted OpenAI compatible LLM, using a llama model (neuralmagic/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16), deployed to Modal.
 
-1. Install dependencies
+![](diagram.jpg)
 
-```bash
-python -m venv venv
-source venv/bin/active # or OS equivalent
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
+# Running this Example
 
-2. Setup .env
+## Install the Modal CLI
 
-```bash
-cp env.example .env
-```
+Setup a Modal account and install it on your machine if you have not already, following their easy 3 steps in their [Getting Started Guide](https://modal.com/docs/guide#getting-started)
 
-Alternatively, you can configure your Modal app to use [secrets](https://modal.com/docs/guide/secrets)
+## Deploy a self-serve LLM
 
-3. Test the app locally
+1. Deploy Modal's OpenAI-compatible LLM service:
 
-```bash
-modal serve app.py
-```
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/modal-labs/modal-examples
+   cd modal-examples
+   modal deploy 06_gpu_and_ml/llm-serving/vllm_inference.py
+   ```
+
+   Refer to Modal's guide and example for [Deploying an OpenAI-compatible LLM service with vLLM](https://modal.com/docs/examples/vllm_inference) for more details.
+
+2. Take note of the endpoint URL from the previous step, which will look like:
+   ```
+   https://{your-workspace}--example-vllm-openai-compatible-serve.modal.run
+   ```
+   You'll need this for the `bot_vllm.py` file in the next section.
+
+    **Note:**  The default Modal LLM example uses Llama-3.1 and will shut down after 15 minutes of inactivity. Cold starts take 5-10 minutes. To prepare the service, we recommend visiting the `/docs` endpoint (`https://<Modal workspace>--example-vllm-openai-compatible-serve.modal.run/docs`) for your deployed LLM and wait for it to fully load before connecting your client.
+
+## Deploy FastAPI App and Pipecat pipeline to Modal 
+
+1. Setup environment variables
+
+   ```bash
+   cd server
+   cp env.example .env
+   # Modify .env to provide your service API Keys
+   ```
+
+   Alternatively, you can configure your Modal app to use [secrets](https://modal.com/docs/guide/secrets)
+
+2. Update the `modal_url` in `server/src/bot_vllm.py` to point to the url produced from the self-serve llm deploy, mentioned above.
+
+3. From within the `server` directory, test the app locally:
+
+   ```bash
+   modal serve app.py
+   ```
 
 4. Deploy to production
 
-```bash
-modal deploy app.py
-```
+   ```bash
+   modal deploy app.py
+   ```
 
-## Configuration options
+5. Note the endpoint URL produced from this deployment. It will look like:
 
-This app sets some sensible defaults for reducing cold starts, such as `minkeep_warm=1`, which will keep at least 1 warm instance ready for your bot function.
+   ```bash
+   https://{your-workspace}--pipecat-modal-fastapi-app.modal.run
+   ```
 
-It has been configured to only allow a concurrency of 1 (`max_inputs=1`) as each user will require their own running function.
+   You'll need this URL for the client's `app.js` configuration mentioned in its README.
+
+## Launch your bots on Modal
+
+### Option 1: Direct Link
+
+Simply click on the url displayed after running the server or deploy step to launch an agent and be redirected to a Daily room to talk with the launched bot. This will use the OpenAI pipeline.
+
+### Option 2: Connect via an RTVI Client
+
+Follow the instructions provided in the [client folder's README](client/javascript/README.md) for building and running a custom client that connects to your Modal endpoint. The provided client provides a dropdown for choosing which bot pipeline to run.
+
+# Navigating your llm, server, and Pipecat logs
+
+In your [Modal dashboard](https://modal.com/apps), you should have two Apps listed under Live Apps:
+
+1. `example-vllm-openai-compatible`: This App contains the containers and logs used to run your self-hosted LLM. There will be just one App Function listed: `serve`. Click on this function to view logs for your LLM.
+2. `pipecat-modal`: This App contains the containers and logs used to run your `connect` endpoints and Pipecat pipelines. It will list two App Functions:
+    1. `fastapi_app`: This function is running the endpoints that your client will interact with and initiate starting a new pipeline (`/`, `/connect`, `/status`). Click on this function to see logs for each endpoint hit.
+    2. `bot_runner`: This function handles launching and running a bot pipeline. Click on this function to get a list of all pipeline runs and access each run's logs.
+
+# Modal + Pipecat Tips
+
+- In most other Pipecat examples, we use `Popen` to launch the pipeline process from the `/connect` endpoint. In this example, we use a Modal function instead. This allows us to run the pipelines using a separately defined Modal image as well as run each pipeline in an isolated container.
+- For the FastAPI and most common Pipecat Pipeline containers, a default `debian_slim` CPU-only should be all that's required to run. GPU containers are needed for self-hosted services.
+- To minimize cold starts of the pipeline and reduce latency for users, set `min_containers=1` on the Modal Function that launches the pipeline to ensure at least one warm instance of your function is always available.
+- For next steps on running a self-hosted llm and reducing latency, check out all of [Modal's LLM examples](https://modal.com/docs/examples/vllm_inference).

+# Handling PSTN/SIP Dial-in on Pipecat Cloud
+
+This repository contains two server implementations for handling
+the pinless dial-in workflow in Pipecat Cloud. This is the companion to the
+Pipecat Cloud [pstn_sip starter image](https://github.com/daily-co/pipecat-cloud-images/tree/main/pipecat-starters/pstn_sip).
+In addition you can use `/api/dial` to trigger dial-out, and
+eventually, call-transfers.
+
+1. [FastAPI Server](fastapi-webhook-server/README.md) -
+   A FastAPI implementation that handles PSTN (Public Switched Telephone
+   Network) and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) calls using the Daily API.
+
+2. [Next.js Serverless](nextjs-webhook-server/README.md) -
+   A Next.js API implementation designed for deployment on Vercel's
+   serverless platform.
+
+Both implementations provide:
+
+- HMAC signature validation for pinless webhook
+- Structured logging
+- Support for dial-in and dial-out settings
+- Voicemail detection and call transfer functionality (coming soon)
+- Test request handling
+
+## Choosing an Implementation
+
+- Use the **FastAPI Server** if you:
+
+  - Need a standalone server
+  - Prefer Python and FastAPI
+  - Want to deploy to traditional hosting platforms
+
+- Use the **Next.js Serverless** implementation if you:
+  - Want serverless deployment
+  - Prefer JavaScript/TypeScript
+  - Already use Next.js and Vercel for other projects
+  - Need quick scaling and zero maintenance
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Both implementations require similar environment variables:
+
+- `PIPECAT_CLOUD_API_KEY`: Pipecat Cloud API Key, begins with pk\_\*
+- `AGENT_NAME`: Your Daily agent name
+- `PINLESS_HMAC_SECRET`: Your HMAC secret for request verification
+- `LOG_LEVEL`: (Optional) Logging level (defaults to 'info')
+
+See the individual README files in each implementation directory for
+specific setup instructions.
+
+### Phone number setup
+
+You can buy a phone number through the Pipecat Cloud Dashboard:
+
+1. Go to `Settings` > `Telephony`
+2. Follow the UI to purchase a phone number
+3. Configure the webhook URL to receive incoming calls (e.g. `https://my-webhook-url.com/api/dial`)
+
+Or purchase the number using Daily's
+[PhoneNumbers API](https://docs.daily.co/reference/rest-api/phone-numbers).
+
+```bash
+curl --request POST \
+--url https://api.daily.co/v1/domain-dialin-config \
+--header 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN' \
+--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+--data-raw '{
+	"type": "pinless_dialin",
+	"name_prefix": "Customer1",
+    "phone_number": "+1PURCHASED_NUM",
+	"room_creation_api": "https://example.com/api/dial",
+    "hold_music_url": "https://example.com/static/ringtone.mp3",
+	"timeout_config": {
+		"message": "No agent is available right now"
+	}
+}'
+```
+
+The API will return a static SIP URI (`sip_uri`) that can be called
+from other SIP services.
+
+### `room_creation_api`
+
+To make and receive calls currently you have to host a server that
+handles incoming calls. In the coming weeks, incoming calls will be
+directly handled within Daily and we will expose an endpoint similar
+to `{service}/start` that will manage this for you.
+
+In the meantime, the server described below serves as the webhook
+handler for the `room_creation_api`. Configure your pinless phone
+number or SIP interconnect to the `ngrok` tunnel or
+the actual server URL, append `/api/dial` to the webhook URL.
+
+## Example curl commands
+
+Note: Replace `http://localhost:3000` with your actual server URL and
+phone numbers with valid values for your use case.
+
+### Dialin Request
+
+The server will receive a request when a call is received from Daily. 
+The payload that the webhook received is as follows:
+```json
+{
+  // for dial-in from webhook
+  "To": "+14152251493",
+  "From": "+14158483432",
+  "callId": "string-contains-uuid",
+  "callDomain": "string-contains-uuid",
+  "sipHeaders": {
+    "X-My-Custom-Header": "value",
+    "x-caller": "+1234567890",
+    "x-called": "+1987654321", 
+   },
+}
+```
+The `To`, `From`, `callId`, `callDomain` fields are converted to 
+`snake_case` and mapped to `dialin_settings`. In addition, `sipHeader` 
+contains any custom SIP headers received by Daily on the SIP 
+interconnect address (`sip_uri`). These are headers sent from 
+Twilio or other external SIP platforms, for example, to send the 
+caller's phone number.
+
+### Dialout Request
+
+Dial a number, will use any purchased number
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/dial \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "dialout_settings": [
+      {
+        "phoneNumber": "+1234567890",
+      }
+    ]
+  }'
+```
+
+Dial a number with callerId, which is the UUID of a purchased number.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/dial \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "dialout_settings": [
+      {
+        "phoneNumber": "+1234567890",
+        "callerId": "purchased_phone_uuid"
+      }
+    ]
+  }'
+```
+
+Dial a number
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/dial \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "dialout_settings": [
+      {
+        "phoneNumber": "+1234567890",
+        "callerId": "purchased_phone_uuid"
+      }
+    ]
+  }'
+```
+
+### Advanced Request with Voicemail Detection
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/dial \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "To": "+1234567890",
+    "From": "+1987654321",
+    "callId": "call-uuid-123",
+    "callDomain": "domain-uuid-456",
+    "sipHeader": {},
+    "dialout_settings": [
+      {
+        "phoneNumber": "+1234567890",
+        "callerId": "purchased_phone_uuid"
+      }
+    ],
+    "voicemail_detection": {
+      "testInPrebuilt": true
