ᓚᘏᗢ Tail: A terminal dashboard for Pipecat

Tail is a terminal dashboard for the Pipecat voice and multimodal conversational AI framework.

It lets you monitor your Pipecat sessions in real time with logs, conversations, metrics, and audio levels all in one place.

With Tail you can:

• 📜 Follow system logs in real time
• 💬 Track conversations as they happen
• 🔊 Monitor user and agent audio levels
• 📈 Keep an eye on service metrics and usage
• 🖥️ Run locally as a pipeline runner or connect to a remote session

🧭 Getting started

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

Install Tail for Python

uv pip install pipecat-ai-tail

and also install Pipecat CLI so you can run Tail as a standalone application:

uv tool install "pipecat-ai-cli[tail]"

⚡ Option A: Pipeline runner

Use TailRunner as a drop-in replacement for PipelineRunner. For example:

runner = PipelineRunner()

await runner.run(task)

becomes

from pipecat_tail.runner import TailRunner

runner = TailRunner()

await runner.run(task)

🏠 Option B: Standalone app

You can also start Tail as a standalone application. This lets you connect to a running session, whether local or remote. All you need to do is add the TailObserver to your pipeline task:

from pipecat_tail.observer import TailObserver

task = PipelineTask(..., observers=[TailObserver()])

Then start the app:

pipecat tail [--url URL]

By default, it will connect to ws://localhost:9292.
