Kenning's take
What it does
Tavus builds AI video humans that see, listen and talk back in real time. Developers use its API to put these conversational video agents into products, such as sales, interview, healthcare or training agents, and can create a custom replica of a real person from a two-minute video. Tavus also sells PALs, AI companions people can message and video call.

- Custom replicas from a two-minute video, including voice

Who it suits. Developers and companies adding face-to-face AI agents to their products; individuals for the PALs companion app.
