Tavus is a San Francisco-based AI research lab pioneering Human Computing — teaching machines the art of being human.
"Automation has scaled efficiency but stripped away empathy, nuance, and presence from digital interactions."
Tavus exists to close the gap between humans and machines by creating AI that can see, hear, understand, and respond with emotional intelligence in real time. Not chatbots with faces — authentic, face-to-face digital presence.
Human Computing is a paradigm shift: computing that adapts to humans, not the other way around.
Core principles:
CVI is Tavus's flagship product — an API-first platform for real-time, face-to-face AI conversations.
What makes CVI different from chatbots/avatars:
CVI Components:
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Replica | The visual avatar — your AI's face and appearance |
| Persona | Behavior, personality, LLM config, system prompt |
| Conversation | A live WebRTC session connecting replica + persona |
Tavus builds proprietary models that work together to create human presence:
Gaussian-diffusion model for photorealistic face rendering. Synthesizes high-fidelity facial behavior with:
Multimodal perception model that lets AI "see":
Transformer-based dialogue model for natural conversation flow:
API-first platform for developers to embed real-time AI video conversations.
Async video generation from scripts or audio.
Create digital twins from 2 minutes of training video.
Consumer-facing AI companions that remember, evolve, and connect.
| Tier | Minutes | Replicas | Concurrency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 25 | Stock only | 1 |
| Starter ($59/mo) | 100 | 1 custom | 3 |
| Growth ($397/mo) | 1,250 | 3 custom | 15 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom + SLAs |
Tavus is built on:
Control Tavus CVI conversations in real-time using the Interactions Protocol. Use when sending text for the replica to speak (echo), interrupting the replica, injecting context mid-conversation, handling tool calls, or listening to conversation events via WebRTC/Daily.
Add knowledge bases and persistent memories to Tavus CVI personas. Use when uploading documents for RAG, enabling personas to reference PDFs/websites, persisting context across conversations, or building personas that remember users.
Configure Tavus CVI personas with custom LLMs, TTS engines, perception, and turn-taking. Use when customizing AI behavior, bringing your own LLM, configuring voice/TTS, enabling vision with Raven, or tuning conversation flow with Sparrow.
Quick start guide for Tavus Conversational Video Interface (CVI). Use when starting a real-time video conversation, creating your first persona, or testing the CVI API. Covers the minimal setup to get a conversation running.
Integrate Tavus CVI into React apps using @tavus/cvi-ui components. Use when embedding conversations in web apps, customizing the video UI, using React hooks for CVI events, or building custom conversation interfaces with Vite/Next.js.
Create and manage Tavus replicas (AI digital twins). Use when training custom replicas from video, listing stock replicas, or managing replica assets. Covers training video requirements, consent statements, and the Phoenix-3 model.
