# Configure a Pipeline
> Wire STT, LLM, and TTS into the Pipeline your agent runs on.
The `Pipeline` is what your agent hears and speaks through. Pass the components you need (STT, LLM, TTS, plus optional VAD and turn detection) and the pipeline auto-detects its mode from what you give it.
```python title="main.py" Python theme={null}
from zrt import Pipeline
from zrt.plugins import DeepgramSTT, GoogleLLM, CartesiaTTS, SileroVAD, TurnDetector
from zrt.inference import AICousticsDenoise
pipeline = Pipeline(
stt=DeepgramSTT(),
llm=GoogleLLM(),
tts=CartesiaTTS(),
vad=SileroVAD(),
turn_detector=TurnDetector(model="echo-large"),
denoise=AICousticsDenoise(model_id="quail-vf-2.2-l-16khz"),
)
```
Pass `pipeline` to your [Agent](/build/creating-an-agent), then [run it](/build/run-the-runtime).
## Configure it further
Cascade, Realtime, and Hybrid, chosen automatically from the components you pass.
Tap into the pipeline at runtime to inspect or transform each stage.
Fail over between providers to keep sessions resilient.
## What's Next
Register and serve the agent.
Give the agent function tools and external services.
