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.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later.
- This package is deprecated; new code should use pipecat.flows from pipecat-ai 1.5.0+ instead.
- Low install friction, but maintenance is abandoned: the repository is archived and the package is frozen.

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+.
