pipecat-ai-flows

What it is and what it does

Pipecat Flows provides conversation flow and state machine management for building AI applications with Pipecat. It lets you define multi-step dialogue logic, route between conversation states, and orchestrate LLM interactions in a structured way. The package depends on pipecat-ai, loguru, and docstring_parser.

However, this package is now deprecated and frozen. As of pipecat-ai 1.5.0, Pipecat Flows has been merged into the core pipecat-ai package under the pipecat.flows namespace. The standalone pipecat-ai-flows package will receive no further updates. Existing users should migrate by installing pipecat-ai and updating imports from pipecat_flows to pipecat.flows; the API remains the same.

Use it for:

• Building multi-turn conversation systems where dialogue must branch based on user input or LLM decisions.
• Implementing state machines for complex AI agent workflows that need to track context and manage transitions.
• Orchestrating conversation flows in existing Pipecat applications that haven't yet migrated to pipecat-ai 1.5.0+.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Manages conversation flows and state machines for Pipecat AI applications, but this package is deprecated—Pipecat Flows is now integrated into pipecat-ai 1.5.0+ under the pipecat.flows namespace.

No. This package is deprecated and archived. Install pipecat-ai 1.5.0+ instead, which includes Pipecat Flows under pipecat.flows with the same API. If you are maintaining legacy code using pipecat-ai-flows 1.4.0, plan a migration to the integrated version; do not start new projects with this package.

Install

pip install pipecat-ai-flows

uv add pipecat-ai-flows

poetry add pipecat-ai-flows

Installing pipecat-ai-flows

Before you install

Low install friction, but maintenance is abandoned: the repository is archived and the package is frozen. The last release was 40 days ago. All active development has moved into pipecat-ai itself, making this package a legacy artifact.

License in practice

BSD 2-Clause License (permissive) poses no restriction on use or redistribution, but the abandoned status means no future license updates or clarifications will arrive.

Quickstart

# Deprecated: use pipecat-ai 1.5.0+ instead
pip install pipecat-ai

from pipecat.flows import FlowManager, NodeConfig
flow = FlowManager()

Requires Python 3.11 or later. This package is deprecated; new code should use pipecat.flows from pipecat-ai 1.5.0+ instead.

Verify before relying

• Whether existing code using pipecat-ai-flows 1.4.0 will continue to work without updates or if pipecat-ai 1.5.0+ introduces breaking changes.
• Whether the pipecat.flows API in pipecat-ai 1.5.0+ is truly identical or if subtle behavioral differences exist.
