You’ve never met AI like this.

Human-like AI that can see, hear, act, and emotionally understand us, all in real-time. We call them PALs.

What are PALs?

PAL stands for Personified Application Layer. It's a new kind of application that learns from us, collaborates with us, and develops an understanding of us. They become our reliable assistants, coworkers, and friends worth returning to. Whether one person builds it in a few clicks or a company deploys thousands of them.

Bridging the human-machine divide

Pioneering human computing since 2020

Tavus is an AI research lab pioneering Human computing: a future where using a computer feels as natural as talking to a friend or coworker. We build foundational models that teach machines the art of being human: to look, see, hear, understand, remember, and respond with emotional intelligence. The result is a new kind of computing that feels instinctive, alive, and deeply human, unlocking AI assistants, companions, sidekicks, and coworkers we can trust, connect with, and collaborate alongside.

Models

We build models to teach machines to see, hear, understand and even look human. We give machines presence and EQ, allowing them to understand you deeply, and in turn, building trust and connection with them.

Rendering

Phoenix [4]

Phoenix-4, the most natural and realistic human rendering model on the market, designed to give AI a face, presence, and emotional range. The A gaussian-diffusion based model synthesizes high-fidelity facial behavior in real time, with contextually accurate emotions, expressions, and movement
The Eyes and Ears

Raven [1]

Raven-1, our multi-modal perception model, giving machines the ability to see, hear and understand in real-time. It translates facial expressions, tone, gaze, emotion, and environmental context into rich conversational signals, helping your AI respond with empathy, awareness, and intent.
The Rhythm

Sparrow [1]

Sparrow-1 is our conversational flow model, built to deliver the lowest-latency and most accurate turn-taking on the market. It understands what someone is saying, how they’re saying it, and when they’re likely finished, using lexical, semantic, prosodic, and acoustic cues like pauses, filler words, intonation, and trailing thoughts to enable seamless, natural conversation flow.

Build with us

Join the team shaping how humans and machines understand each other. We’re researchers, engineers, and artists building AI that listens, learns, and connects like people do. Come decode the conversation with us.
