The Tavus REST API powers personalized video generation and real-time Conversational Video Interface sessions. It exposes endpoints for replicas (Phoenix-4 video and image-to-replica), async video generation, real-time conversations, personas, and document knowledge bases, plus webhooks for lifecycle events.
