Tavus

Tavus builds the Conversational Video Interface (CVI), an end-to-end pipeline that combines AI behavior with lifelike digital humans for real-time video conversations. The platform lets developers create personal AI replicas from a short video or a single image (Phoenix-4 and image-to-replica), generate async personalized videos, and run real-time conversational sessions backed by configurable personas, custom LLMs, tools, and document knowledge bases. Tavus targets product teams embedding human-like AI into sales, support, healthcare, education, and recruiting experiences, and monetizes through usage-based developer pricing and enterprise contracts.

Tavus publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Conversations API, Documents API, Guardrails API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Video, Conversational AI, and Avatars.

Tavus’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, changelog, and 10 more developer resources.
