So you want to build a Conversational Video Interface? You’re in good company, startups like Mercor and Delphi and fortune 500s alike are leveraging Tavus APIs to build the future of AI interaction.

Video agents are no longer just a “nice to have.” They’ve become one of the most natural and intuitive ways to interact with real-time AI agents. With Tavus video agents now integrated into LiveKit, you can add humanlike video responses to your voice agents in seconds.

We made an unexpected discovery while developing our premium conversational AI technology. Components of our advanced video pipeline could be isolated and explicitly optimized for lip synchronization, with remarkable results. This serendipitous research byproduct evolved into Hummingbird, a specialized zero-shot lip-sync model that achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to other leading solutions.

In this paper, we dive into the development and research behind Sparrow-0, exploring the innovative transformer-based approach for turn-taking and its integration alongside Raven and Phoenix models within our Conversational Video Interface (CVI), an end-to-end operating system designed for building responsive video agents.

What if Santa could talk to everyone all at once? Now He Can! We are thrilled to announce AI Santa by Tavus, the world’s first fully AI-powered replica of the man in the red suit.

Vapi Integrates Tavus to bring real-time conversational AI video to their platform.

Pipecat + Tavus empowers developers to build modular, real-time conversational AI systems with low latency, vendor neutrality, and support for 40+ LLMs, STT, and TTS services.

The Tavus team leveraged multiple techniques to get life-like conversational interface with an AI. In particular, streaming, parallelism, resource management, and memory management. This combination helped reduce a long utterance to utterance time down to under a second.

Customize your conversational AI's personality using a custom persona with system prompts, context, and your own LLM.

An introduction to how to make an AI video with Tavus' video API.

This research paper, written by the Tavus team, details the development of Phoenix, a groundbreaking generative model for realistic avatar creation and text-to-video generation. Phoenix leverages audio and text-driven 3D models, integrating volumetric rendering techniques and 2D Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to create lifelike replicas from short video clips.
