# MinerU vs pipecat

MinerU and pipecat share 6 technologies: FastAPI, OpenAI, onnxruntime, pillow, Pydantic, and loguru. Both are written in Python.

- [opendatalab/MinerU](https://seerepo.com/r/opendatalab/MinerU): Transforms complex documents like PDFs and Office docs into LLM-ready markdown/JSON for your Agentic workflows.
- [pipecat-ai/pipecat](https://seerepo.com/r/pipecat-ai/pipecat): Open Source framework for voice agents, multimodal apps, and realtime AI. Maintained by Daily and the community.
