Product Updates

This week, we rolled out the next evolution in conversational video AI, and it’s all live in our portal.

🧠 Memories:

CVI now remembers you. Every conversation builds on the last, with full context, time/date awareness, and the ability to pick up exactly where you left off. Tutors can adapt to a student’s progress, therapists and mentors recall prior sessions.

👤 Persona Builder:

No more wrestling with prompts. Just chat with our guided creation flow to shape AI personas with goals, behaviors, and style—and then test or launch within minutes. This makes spinning up an AI persona faster than ever.

Get started with Persona Builder >

✨ All four features work together to create highly capable, human-like AI agents that are fast, contextual, and trustworthy—redefining the way humans and AI interact like never before.

We’ve added an events console to the developer portal—making it easier to monitor everything happening during a conversation in real time.

From message flows to system activity, you now get a clearer view of how your AI Human is interacting under the hood.

You can now view full conversation details directly in the developer portal—including:

• 📄 Transcripts with speaker roles
• 👁️ Perception analysis

This update gives you clearer visibility into how your AI Human is seeing, hearing, and responding—all in one place.

If you're testing with memory, you might notice system messages in the transcript view. We're working on filtering those for a cleaner experience.

A new update to the Tavus Developer Portal gives you more control over your AI personas.

🔧 What's new

• You can now enable/disable layers like Sparrow directly within a Persona
• Adjust sensitivity settings in real time
• Easily duplicate Personas from the side panel

Note: The current UX is a bit click-heavy and not super discoverable—but this is just the first step. A smoother, more intuitive flow is already in the works and should land in the next few days.

You’ll find the new buttons at the top of the right-side panel in the Portal.

‍

We’ve shipped a big update to the Interactions Protocol Playground—making it more reliable, insightful, and user-friendly across the board.

🧠 Context Box Enhancements

• Switched to the correct properties.context format (was properties.text) for full API compliance
• Added a toggle for append vs overwrite context modes—now controlled via clean radio buttons with dynamic updates

📊 Event Logging Overhaul

• Upgraded from utterance-only logs to full coverage of (almost all) Tavus event types
• Introduced a structured table view: timestamps, event types, direction, role, text, inference IDs
• Includes color-coded entries, CSV export, interactive legend, and a cleaner UI

📞 Call Management Updates

• Added a smart Leave button that appears only when actively connected
• Includes visual feedback and proper cleanup on exit

🧯 Smarter Error Handling

• Implemented detection for duplicate DailyIframe instances
• If detected, users now see a polished error modal with options to refresh or dismiss, helping prevent Daily.js conflicts

‍

You can now specify the language of a conversation directly in the developer portal—including a new multilingual option for dynamic, real-world interactions.

This unlocks more flexibility for global use cases and better matches how users naturally communicate.

Llama 4 is officially live on Conversational Video Interface (CVI)!
Users can now select tavus-llama-4 as the model powering their persona—free of charge.

A more structured rollout is coming in the next couple weeks, but it’s already available for early adopters in their personas.

Give it a spin and let us know what you build 🧪
