  Tavus builds the Conversational Video Interface (CVI), an end-to-end
  pipeline that combines AI behavior with lifelike digital humans for
  real-time video conversations. The platform lets developers create
  personal AI replicas from a short video or a single image (Phoenix-4 and
  image-to-replica), generate async personalized videos, and run real-time
  conversational sessions backed by configurable personas, custom LLMs,
  tools, and document knowledge bases. Tavus targets product teams
  embedding human-like AI into sales, support, healthcare, education, and
  recruiting experiences, and monetizes through usage-based developer
  pricing and enterprise contracts.

      Conversational Video Interface sessions. It exposes endpoints for
      replicas (Phoenix-4 video and image-to-replica), async video
      generation, real-time conversations, personas, and document knowledge
      bases, plus webhooks for lifecycle events.
