Tavus
AI that looks and feels human, seeing, hearing, and understanding in real-time.

Tavus is an AI research lab that builds conversational video agents, digital twins, and AI companions capable of real-time face-to-face interaction. It offers APIs and production-grade infrastructure for deploying custom AI humans across industries like healthcare, education, and sales. The platform is powered by proprietary models for facial rendering, multimodal perception, and emotionally-aware dialogue.
Tavus provides APIs and foundational models for facial rendering, perception, and dialogue that enable developers to deploy white-labeled AI video agents with sub-500ms latency in 30+ languages.
