About Deepgram

AIWatch Data: Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, Deepgram experienced 2 incidents with an average recovery time of 1 minutes.

Deepgram provides fast, accurate speech-to-text APIs optimized for streaming use cases like real-time captions, voice agents, and live transcription. Its Nova model family is widely used in conversational AI.

AIWatch Insight: Deepgram typically maintains very high uptime, but live streaming endpoints can be more sensitive to regional issues than batch endpoints. AIWatch tracks Deepgram's overall API availability via probe-based health checks alongside official status.

When Deepgram is down, applications using real-time transcription for voice agents, live captions, or contact center streaming will lose their core functionality. Batch transcription jobs may queue but live UX breaks immediately.
