Tavus

What it does

Tavus is an AI research lab that builds models for human computing. Its platform lets developers and teams create PALs, real-time conversational avatars that see, hear, and respond in video calls. It offers APIs, a no-code PAL Maker, and managed enterprise deployments.

Tavus focuses on real-time, face-to-face AI agents rather than text-only chatbots. You can build with the API, launch a PAL through the no-code PAL Maker, or have Tavus design and manage a bespoke deployment. The platform supports presentation mode, Magic Canvas, browser use, video meeting participation, memory, and a knowledge base. The pricing page lists a free PALs plan with 15 minutes of voice and video calls, and developer plans that start free with 25 minutes of conversational video. Paid developer plans add custom replica training, more minutes, and higher concurrency. The Griffin model is marked as preview, so production readiness may vary. Check pricing tiers, concurrency limits, and included minutes because costs scale with usage.
