Tavus

Tavus is a platform for building real time, lifelike AI video agents that can see, hear and respond face to face. The vendor calls these agents PALs. Developers use APIs to create conversational video experiences, generate AI video, and train custom replicas, which are digital likenesses of a person, alongside a library of stock replicas. The site also introduces a model called Griffin, which it says was the first to pass a real time video Turing test. There are two kinds of account. The Developer account is for teams embedding conversational video agents in a product, with support for more than 30 languages. The PALs account is for individuals who want a personal AI companion that listens and remembers, and who can talk to it by text, voice or video. PALs plans are Free at $0 with 15 minutes of voice and video calls, Plus at $20 a month with 150 minutes, and Max at $50 a month with 500 minutes. Developer plans are Basic (free), Starter at $59 a month, Growth at $397 a month and custom Enterprise pricing. Paid developer plans add pay as you go usage, listed at $0.37 per minute of streamed conversation for the lower tier and $1 per minute of generated video, with rates falling at higher plans.
