Conversational video AI is quickly transforming how we connect, learn, and grow.

AI is moving fast, conversational video AI is moving even faster—and the real magic is in the new ways it helps us interact and solve problems. You don’t have to be an AI expert to start exploring what’s possible. Let’s look at five impactful conversational video AI use cases you can try today, all made accessible with Tavus.

🌊 Deep dive: What is conversational video AI?

1. Personalized customer service at scale

Delivering great customer service doesn’t have to mean growing your team or drowning in repetitive tickets. With conversational video AI, you can offer support that’s fast, personal, and truly engaging—all while keeping things efficient.

Delivering instant, human-like video responses

Tavus’s Conversational Video Interface (CVI) is a game-changer for customer support. These AI agents interact with customers in real time through video, using advanced speech recognition (ASR) and turn-taking models like Sparrow. The result? Conversations that feel natural and human, not like talking to a typical bot.

Instead of the old back-and-forth with static chatbots, customers experience face-to-face video interactions where the AI can see, hear, and respond, just like a real person would.

Reducing wait times and support costs

One of the biggest headaches in customer support is long wait times and the cost of staffing around the clock. AI-powered video agents solve this by handling repetitive questions and simple issues 24/7.

Thanks to Tavus’s ultra-low latency pipeline—often delivering responses in under one second—customers don’t have to wait. And you don’t have to worry about maintaining a complex tech stack, since CVI takes care of video conferencing, ASR, and video output behind the scenes.

Building trust through visual engagement

Why stop at voice or text when you can connect visually? Video agents aren’t just voices—they use facial expressions, body language, and conversational cues to build real rapport.

With Tavus, you can even customize the AI’s persona, reflecting your brand’s tone and values in every interaction. That personal touch goes a long way in building trust, especially when customers see a familiar face or style that matches your organization.

2. Dynamic sales and marketing outreach

Imagine reaching thousands of prospects, but each one feels like you made a video just for them. That’s the promise of conversational video AI in sales and marketing.

Hyper-personalized video campaigns

Tavus lets you automatically generate video messages that address each prospect by name and reference their interests. By leveraging custom personas and replica models, every video feels like it was created for that individual.

The best part? These personalized videos are produced in real time, so you can scale your campaigns without sacrificing relevance.

Automated lead qualification and demo scheduling

Who says your marketing videos can’t do more than just say hello? With CVI-powered video agents, your outreach can include interactive Q&A, qualifying questions, and even direct viewers to book a demo—all within one seamless conversation.

You can use Tavus’s optimized large language model (LLM) or integrate your own logic to make sure follow-ups feel smart and context-aware. It’s a win-win for both you and your prospects.

Scaling outreach with a personal touch

Scaling up doesn’t mean losing the personal feel. With Tavus, you can use stock or custom replicas to reach thousands of prospects, but each recipient experiences a message tailored just to them.

And because Tavus manages the full pipeline—from creation to delivery—you can focus on strategy and growth, not technical barriers.

3. Next-gen e-learning and employee training

Training and education should be memorable, interactive, and adaptable. Conversational video AI makes that possible, whether you’re onboarding new hires or rolling out new skills to your team.

Interactive video lessons and assessments

Forget static training videos. With Tavus’s CVI, you can create interactive lessons where learners ask questions, respond, and get instant feedback.

The system’s multimodal interface and turn-taking capabilities make training engaging and dynamic. Plus, lessons can adapt in real time to each learner’s needs, creating a personalized journey for everyone.

Tailored onboarding and policy walkthroughs

Onboarding can be overwhelming, but conversational video AI helps new hires feel welcome and informed. Custom video personas explain company culture, policies, and processes in a way that’s easy to follow and hard to forget.

With replica models, you can match your team’s tone and style, so every piece of information feels authentic and relatable.

Scalable, continuous professional development

Ongoing training is a breeze with automated, interactive video sessions. Deliver compliance reminders, upskill your team, or roll out new processes—all with the confidence that your content can scale and update as your organization grows.

Tavus’s end-to-end solution means you can keep everyone informed and engaged, no matter how quickly things change.

4. Smarter virtual assistants for everyday productivity

Conversational video AI isn’t just for big teams or customer-facing roles. It can become your personal productivity partner, making everyday tasks smoother and more enjoyable.

Video-based scheduling, reminders, and task management

Imagine a virtual assistant that looks you in the eye, remembers your schedule, and keeps you on track. Video-based assistants powered by Tavus make reminders and calendar management feel less like chores and more like conversations.

Thanks to CVI’s low-latency, multimodal pipeline, these interactions are fast and natural, helping you stay organized without missing a beat.

Multilingual, emotionally intelligent interactions

Your assistant should understand you—no matter how you communicate. Tavus supports multiple languages and can pick up on emotional cues, like facial expressions or tone of voice, adjusting its responses to suit the moment.

You can even customize your assistant’s persona for different audiences or tasks, making it as formal or casual as you need.

Bridging text, voice, and video

Flexibility is key. With Tavus, you can easily switch between text, voice, and video communication, choosing the mode that fits your needs.

If you’re a developer, you’ll appreciate the option to bring your own language models (LLMs), automatic speech recognition (ASR), or text-to-speech (TTS) layers—or just use Tavus’s optimized defaults for simplicity.

5. Revolutionizing data collection and feedback loops

Collecting feedback shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth. Conversational video AI opens up new ways to gather insights—deeper, richer, and more actionable than ever before.

Video-based surveys and interviews

Instead of sending out another boring survey, deploy AI video agents that conduct interviews and surveys face-to-face.

These agents can ask follow-up questions and adapt in real time based on responses. Tavus’s video conferencing layer (built on Daily) and ASR make it simple to collect and process responses at scale, making every participant feel heard.

Real-time sentiment and behavior analysis

Going beyond simple answers, Tavus’s perception layer (Raven) analyzes visual cues during conversations. This means you get valuable feedback on sentiment and engagement—not just words on a page.

You can enable application callbacks to receive transcripts and perception summaries, giving you deeper insights into every conversation.

Personalized follow-ups and next steps

Once you’ve collected feedback, don’t let the conversation end there. Use video AI to send tailored thank-you messages, share reports, or deliver action items.

With automated callbacks and recording features, it’s easy to track and optimize every interaction, closing the loop and increasing engagement across your organization.
