About Tavus
Tavus provides APIs for building real-time, face-to-face conversational video agents and for generating videos with digital replicas trained from about two minutes of footage. It bundles the full pipeline (speech recognition, LLM, TTS, rendering over WebRTC). It also runs a consumer 'PALs' companion app, but its main audience is developers and product teams.
