The pervasive influence of digital technology has inadvertently led to feelings of isolation and detachment among consumers. To be more specific, the constant barrage of digital products and services (while offering convenience and efficiency) can create a sense of disconnection from the real world and foster a sense of loneliness.
Consumers like (and often need) the human connection, which is why about half of consumers prefer talking to a person over an AI chatbot, according to a Katana survey. They yearn for meaningful interactions, shared experiences and a sense of belonging that can't be replicated through screens.
To help meet that demand, Tavus recently created a set of building blocks required to create interactive visual experiences with digital twins that speak, see and hear just like the humans they represent. The generative AI video research company is doing this through Conversational Video Interface, CVI.
Tavus helps developers create conversational video experiences that closely resemble real-life interactions.
What sets Tavus CVI apart is its speed, end-to-end functionality and ability to deliver highly realistic conversations. With a latency of less than a second, Tavus facilitates smooth communication between users and AI agents. As a developer-focused solution, Tavus requires minimal engineering effort, allowing developers to focus on creating innovative experiences.
Tavus’ conversational pipeline and fine-tuned LLM also let AI agents see, hear and respond like real people, complete with natural cues like rolling vision, end-of-turn detection and interruptibility. Additionally, Tavus simplifies the training process, which allows developers to create high-fidelity digital replicas with just two minutes of video.
“Rather than adapting to the limitations of traditional interfaces, we are creating solutions that leverage the natural ways humans communicate – through visual and verbal cues, emotional understanding and contextual awareness,” said Hassaan Raza, co-founder and CEO of Tavus. “This new video interface will enable more intuitive, efficient, and impactful interactions."
Tavus CVI offers developers flexibility and scalability. Its modular architecture allows for easy integration with custom services, and its ability to handle high traffic guarantees smooth performance.
“In short, CVI allows users to leverage and scale their digital likeness, creating a true extension of themselves that overcomes the limitations of space, time and memory,” said Raza. “It also opens new doors for developers to create unparalleled customer experiences."
