PikaStream 1.0 is a real-time video engine model from Pika Labs that powers the "pikastream-video-meeting" skill, giving any AI agent a face, voice, and the ability to join live Google Meet video calls and execute tasks mid-conversation.

The model was officially announced on April 2, 2026 as a beta release, distributed via the open-source Pika Skills repository on GitHub and the Pika Developer API. Official first-party pricing is not clearly stated on Pika's own site; third-party sources cite conflicting figures ranging from $0.20 to $0.50 per
