Overview
Deepgram is a research-driven, foundational AI company focused on building voice technology that transforms human-to-machine interactions. Founded in 2015, it began with machine learning research for waveform analysis and later built speech-to-text using end-to-end deep learning. Today it offers voice AI solutions including speech-to-text, audio intelligence, text-to-speech, and a voice agent API. Its platform unifies speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and LLM orchestration into a single API, and its Flux models are positioned as a conversation-aware speech platform for voice agents, available in real time or batch, in the cloud or self-hosted.
History
Deepgram was founded in 2015. It started with machine learning research for waveform analysis in a dark matter detector in China. CEO and co-founder Scott Stephenson and his teammate later explored deep learning for audio analysis at the University of Michigan. Seeing a gap in the speech-to-text market, they built Deepgram using end-to-end deep learning. Today, Deepgram offers advanced voice AI solutions beyond speech-to-text, including audio intelligence, text-to-speech, and a voice agent API.
