Introducing Memories

CVI remembers, and gets smarter every time you talk.

The Tavus Conversational Video Interface (CVI) now supports persistent Memories. From first hello to long-term progress, CVI remembers, adapts, and guides conversations that advance over time.

Memories let CVI:

  • Remember context across turns and conversations
  • Understand and reference time and date-specific information
  • Support long-running or returning user interactions with continuity

The result? Smarter responses in recurring or multi-session use cases, reduced repetition, and longer, more natural conversations. Over time, CVI becomes more context-aware and capable, making every interaction feel more human.

FAQs

What are memories, and how do they work?

Memories allow Tavus Replicas to remember context across turns and understand time and dates, making conversations more coherent over longer interactions.

Memories are enabled using a unique memory_stores that acts as the memory key. Information collected during conversations is associated with this participant and can be referenced in future interactions.

What if I have already built my own memories?

You can continue using their systems or explore integrations with native memory capabilities for added coherence and accuracy.

How do I enable Memories in the UI, or the API?

In the UI, toggle the “Enable Memories” option when creating or editing a persona or conversation in the Tavus platform. Then assign a unique participant name or ID.

In the API, use the `memory_stores` field in the Create Conversation API call. This should be a stable, unique identifier for the user (e.g. user email, CRM ID, etc.).

Do Memories work across conversations?

Yes. Cross-conversation Memories are supported as part of this update.

Can I see or edit the Memories data?

Not yet. Editing and reviewing Memories is not supported in this early release. Retrieval endpoints are under development and will be available in a future update.
