At Tavus, our mission is to make digital experiences as immersive as human face-to-face interactions by empowering people to leverage their likeness at scale online.
Back in March, we launched our breakthrough Digital Replica model, Phoenix, and Video Generation on our developer platform.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce: the Conversational Video Interface. Developers can now build rich, realistic, real-time conversational experiences with digital twins on the Tavus platform.

A new human-computer interface
The Conversational Video Interface (CVI) is the only solution on the market that gives developers a complete set of building blocks to create interactive experiences with digital twins that speak, see, and hear.
We’ve delivered a conversational suite that stands apart from the rest.
- The world’s fastest: with less than one second of latency between utterances
- The only end-to-end solution: deploys easily without any deep eng work
- The most realistic: with a natural conversational cadence and our replica model Phoenix-2
Developers in industries like the creator economy, education, eCommerce, and sales are already building with the Tavus CVI to scale human abilities and reinvent how we interact in the digital realm.
Why AI powered conversational video?
Historically, technology allowed us to scale communication across geography, time, and people. We started with letters and carrier pigeons, then we got the telephone, and later television. Then came the internet and eventually video conferencing.
Throughout this evolution we’ve had to adapt to technological limitations which often forced us to lose a touch of our humanity. And, if we focused on a personalized touch, we had to trade off on scale.
The beauty of AI video is that now technology can meet us where we naturally communicate, while maintaining unprecedented scalability.
One-on-one mentorship is revolutionized with digital cloning
Last week, our customer Delphi, the personalized mentorship and education platform, announced its groundbreaking Video Clone feature. Enabled by Tavus’ technology, this feature allows real-time video interactions with digital clones of creators, experts, coaches, and executives, providing a personal mentor on demand.
“There are a lot of components within a conversation. It’s incredibly complicated for an AI system to power a Digital Clone that can carry on a natural, live conversation over video,” said Dara Ladjevardian, Co-Founder and CEO of Delphi.
“Tavus tackles this challenge beautifully. We chose to partner with them because they have developed the world’s first conversational solution with under a second of latency. Their research and technology delivers an incredibly realistic interactive experience. This is critical to our ability to deliver authentic and credible personalized mentorship experiences with expert clones on our platform.”
Features and functionality highlights
Here’s why you should build AI agents with the Conversational Video Interface.

- Rolling vision, interruptibility, and end-of-turn detection
- A purpose-built conversational pipeline and fine tuned LLM
Modular: We built our solution with developers in mind using customizable components.
- Choose digital twins or stock replicas
- Easily connect your own LLM, or models like GPT-4o and Claude
- Swap our TTS for your preferred solution
- Use our real time replica, and bring your own streamed in audio or text, if preferred
Will you build digital twins or AI agents?
For the longest time, technology has pushed human interaction towards the transactional. Now, AI video can apply a human touch at scale in any industry.
We see two distinct directions for using CVI to build real-time AI-powered interactions:
Digital Twins: Extend the presence of high-impact individuals with specialist knowledge, such as executives, experts, coaches, professors, healthcare professionals, and celebrities, to overcome limitations of time, scale, and knowledge.
AI Agents: Place intelligent AI agents with a face, a voice, warmth, and humanity, where leveraging humans is not feasible today. Examples include customer support agents, digital sales assistants, personal assistants, and technical co-pilots across industries like eCommerce, government services, education, software, and entertainment.
