About Deepgram
Deepgram pairs a real diarization quality jump with voice-agent platform breadth.
Deepgram is shipping on two tracks at once. The speech-recognition core is getting model-quality work — diarization v2 is the headline, with profanity filtering and numerals expanding across long tails of languages. In parallel, the Voice Agent API is being built out as a multi-vendor orchestration layer, with managed Gemini, GPT, and Cartesia options sitting next to Deepgram's own Aura-2 TTS and Flux ASR.
