What is CVI? (Overview)

preview

The Conversational Video Interface (CVI) is an end-to-end pipeline for creating real-time multimodal video conversations with a digital twin that can see, hear, and respond similarly to how a human would. Developers can deploy video AI agents/digital twins in minutes using CVI.

CVI is the world's fastest interface of its kind, allowing you to put a human face and conversational ability to your AI agent or personality. With CVI, you can achieve utterance-to-utterance latency with SLAs as fast as under 1 second, which is the full roundtrip time for a participant to say something and for the replica to speak back.

CVI provides a complete pipeline to have a conversation while also allowing you to customize and plug in your existing components where necessary.

Key Features

  1. Face-to-face interactions: The first interface that speaks our language. CVI is multimodal and understands and uses facial expressions, body language, and has natural conversational awareness including interrupts and turn-taking.
  2. World's lowest latency: The world's fastest interface of its kind, with SLAs as fast as under 1s latency utterance-to-utterance.
  3. End-to-end solution: CVI provides a turn-key solution, delivering all the components to easily deploy AI video agents without having to worry about WebRTC, ASR, or anything else.
  4. Focused on naturalness: Easily create high-quality AI replicas of you or your customers, powered by our state-of-the-art replica model, Phoenix-2.

What does a conversation with CVI look like?

Here's a sample:

What components does CVI provide, and what can I customize?

CVI provides a full pipeline allowing you to easily create video conversations. You can immediately jump into a real-time conversation with the generated Daily meeting URL. CVI provides the following layers:

  • WebRTC/video conferencing (using Daily)
  • Vision
  • Speech recognition (ASR), with interrupts
  • Optimized, conversational LLM
  • Text-to-speech (TTS)
  • Replica video output

You can choose to customize or bring your own layers as well. For example, you can:

  • Use OpenAI real-time API or other voice-to-voice models and only use Vendor.com to drive the replica video.
  • Bring your own LLM/conversation logic or enable function calling for Vendor.com-optimized LLMs.
  • Customize the TTS or ASR engine.
  • Use text parrot mode to directly drive a replica video.
  • Text-to-speech (TTS)
  • Directly access the video streams and create a custom UI.

Key Concepts

What is a conversation?

A conversation is a single 'session' or 'call' with a digital twin using CVI. When you create a conversation, you receive a Daily meeting URL. This URL provides a full video conferencing solution, allowing you to avoid managing WebRTC or websockets. Navigating to this URL lets you directly join a prebuilt meeting room UI to chat with your digital twin.

What is a digital twin?

A digital twin is an AI-powered digital version of a human, which looks and sounds like a person and can see and respond similarly to a human.

Layers and Modes Overview

CVI provides an end-to-end pipeline that takes in a user audio & video input and outputs a realtime replica AV output. This pipeline is hyper optimized, with layers tightly coupled to achieve the lowest latency in the market. CVI is highly customizable though, with the ability to customize or disable layers as well as different modes being offered to best fit your use case.

Layers

Vendor.com provides the following customizable layers as part of the CVI pipeline:

  • Transport
    • Video conferencing / end-to-end WebRTC, currently powered by Daily. It handles audio/visual input and output for CVI.
    • We allow configurability for input and output, each with either audio/mic or visual/camera property. You can never disable the Transport layer.
  • Vision
    • User input video can be processed using Vision, allowing the replica to see and respond to user expressions and environments. Vision can easily be disabled if not available or required.
  • Speech Recognition with VAD (Interrupts)
    • An optimized ASR system with incredibly fast and intelligent interrupts.
  • LLM
    • Vendor.com provides ultra-low latency optimized LLMs or allows you to bring your own.
  • TTS
    • Vendor.com provides the TTS audio using a low-latency optimized voice model (powered by Cartesia), or allows you to use one of the other supported voice providers.
  • Realtime Replica
    • Vendor.com provides high-quality streaming replicas powered by our proprietary class of models: Phoenix.

Pipeline Modes

Vendor.com offers a number of modes that come with preconfigured layers as necessary for your use case.

  • Full
    • Default and recommended option to optimize your multimodal interactions or enable Vision. You have the option to bring your own ASR / LLM / TTS.
  • Speech to Speech

    Vendor.com provides the option to bypass ASR, LLM, and TTS with Speech to Speech model.

    You may use your own or integrate with our native implementation (OpenAI Realtime API).

    • If you'd like to use the Realtime API with your own API key for billing purposes, you may do so.
    • If you do bring your own speech-to-speech implementation, it has to be Realtime API compatible in the events we send and receive from your websocket. More details for BYOSTS (Bring your own Speech-to-Speech) coming out soon!
  • Echo

    You can bypass Vendor.com Vision, ASR, and LLM and directly stream:

    • Text into the TTS layer (text echo), or…
    • Audio stream that the replica will repeat (audio echo). Audio stream can be a direct user mic input or base64.

    You can also use this mode server-to-server, where your server connects to the Daily/webRTC room to provide audio and then forwards the video stream to your user.

Full Pipeline Mode (default and recommended)

pipeline

By default, we recommend using the end-to-end pipeline in it's entirety as it will provide the lowest latency and most optimized multimodal experience. We offer a number of LLMs (Llama3.1, OpenAI) that we've optimized within the end-to-end pipeline. With SLAs as fast as under 1s ---- you can access the world's fastest utterance-to-utterance latency. You can load our LLMs full of your knowledge base and prompt them to your liking, as well as update the context live to simulate an async RAG application.

Custom LLM / Bring your own logic

custom_llm

Using a custom LLM is a great idea for those that already have a LLM or are building business logic that needs to intercept the input transcription and decide on the output. Using your own LLM will likely add latency, as the Vendor.com LLMs are hyper-optimized for low latency.

Note that the 'Custom LLM' mode doesn't require an actual LLM. Any endpoint that will respond to chat completion requests in the required format can be used. For example, you could set up a server that takes in the completion requests and responds with predetermined responses, with no LLM involved at all.

Speech to Speech Mode

s2s

The Speech to Speech pipeline mode allows you to bypass ASR, LLM, and TTS by leveraging an external speech to speech model. You may use Vendor.com speech to speech model integrations or you may bring your own.

Note that in this mode vision capabilities from Vendor.com will be disabled, as there is nowhere to send the context to for now.

Echo Mode

You can specify audio or text input for the replica to speak out. We only recommend this if your application does not have a need for speech recognition (voice) or vision, or have a very specific ASR/Vision pipeline that you must use. Using your own ASR is most often slower and less optimized than using the integrated Vendor.com pipeline.

You can use text or audio input interchangeably in Echo Mode. There are two possible configurations, based on microphone enablement in Transport layer.

Text or Audio (Base64) Echo

toa

By turning off the microphone in the Transport Layer and using the Interactions Protocol, you can achieve Text and Audio (base64) echo behavior.

  • The Text Echo behavior allows you to bypass Vendor.com Vision, ASR, and LLM and directly send text into the TTS layer. This allows you to have a replica that speaks all the text you provide, as well as allows you to manually control interrupts.
  • The Audio (Base64) Echo behavior allows you to bypass all Layers except for the Realtime Replica Layer. In this configuration, the replica will speak the audio that you provide.

Microphone Echo

microphone

By keeping the microphone on in the Transport Layer, you are able to bypass all layers in CVI and directly pass in an audio stream that the replica will repeat. In this mode interrupts are handled within your audio stream, any received audio will be generated with the replica.

We only recommend this if you have pre-generated audio you would like to use, have a voice-to-voice pipeline, or have a very specific voice requirement.

Creating a Replica

The replica is the 'talking head' or the face to the digital twin.

The first step to using CVI is selecting a replica to use as the 'face' of your digital twin. Tavus has stock replicas you can use as well as the ability to create custom replicas via the API or the portal.

Stock Replicas

You can get started quickly be using one of our stock replicas. We have a few replicas that we recommend for conversational usage.

Custom Replicas

You can use a custom or 'personal' replica to be the face of your digital twin. If you have already created a custom replica for video generation you can reuse that replica for CVI. However, what looks good for video generation does not necessary look good for conversational (CVI).

What makes for a good replica for CVI?

Silent frames

The main difference between using a replica for video generation vs CVI is that videos don't have long periods of pauses, whereas during a conversation you take turns, therefore the replica sits in silent listening or waiting. This can look odd if you try to use a replica that is meant for video generation because the replica might move unnaturally during these periods of silence.

Casual/low-production environment

For most use cases CVI is supposed to feel like a 1:1 call. It should feel like you're jumping on a Zoom call with someone. This means that the setting and environment should feel like a Zoom call, not a studio environment. A webcam at a desk for example will feel more natural than an awkward replica that is standing the entire time. Users don't expect you to be in a studio every time you're on a Zoom call and it can actually detract from the experience. This doesn't mean you can't shoot in studio, it just means that the studio setting itself should look casual as well.

Creating a Conversation

Creating a conversation immediately starts accumulating usage.

When you create a conversation CVI immediately starts running and the replica waits in the WebRTC/Daily room listening for your participant to join. Your billing/credit usage starts as soon as the conversation is creating and runs until the conversation timeout or when you end the conversation. This also uses up one of your concurrency spots..

How do I create a conversation?

Once you have a persona you'd like to use or a replica, starting a conversation is easy.

You can start a conversation on the dashboard app by visiting the Facetime tab in playground page.

What does creating a conversation do?

Creating a conversation is 'starting the call'. Imagine you create a Zoom call and join the meeting- that's what happens when you create a conversation.

  • A WebRTC/Daily room is created
  • The replica/digital twin joins the room and waits for a participant to join
  • Starts the timers on duration/timeouts (see Call Time Settings)

In response to creating a conversation, you receive a meeting URL (that looks like this: https://vendor.com/meeting/ca980e2e). You or your participant can directly join this link and be put into a video conferencing room where you can immediately start conversing with the digital twin. However, you do not have to use this meeting UI.

What can I customize per conversation?

Conversation specific customizations are focused on allowing personalization of a conversation to a specific participant. As an example you might want to have a custom introduction per person, or change the language the replica is listening for and responds in. Meanwhile persona level configurations are settings or defaults applied to all conversations so you do not have to configure them each time, such as setting up your LLM.

Here are the things you can customize per conversation:

Persona / Replica

In order to start a conversation you must provide a persona or replica. If you provide a replica with no persona, the default Tavus persona will be used. Providing a persona without a replica will use the default replica attached to the persona if it exists. Providing a replica ID will override the default one associated with the persona.

Conversation Context

Conversation context is specific information or instructions for the LLM related to this conversation. For example it can contain information on who is joining the call as well as any specific information on the point of the call, background information or current information.

Example of conversation context:

You are talking to Michael Seibel, who works at Y Combinator as a Group Partner and Managing Director of YC early stage. You are talking to him about your new startup idea for a pet rock delivery service. Get his advice and convince him to invest. It's Monday, October 7th here in SF and the weather is clear and a crisp 68 degrees. Here's a little more about Michael: He joined YC in 2013 as a Part-time Partner and in 2014 as a full-time Group Partner. Michael also serves on the board of two YC companies, Reddit and Dropbox. He moved to the bay area in 2006, and was a co-founder and CEO of two Y Combinator startups Justin.tv/Twitch (2007 - 2011) and Socialcam (2011 - 2012). In 2012 Socialcam sold to Autodesk Inc. for $60m (link) and in 2014, under the leadership of Emmett Shear (CEO) and Kevin Lin (COO) Twitch sold to Amazon for $970m (link). Before getting into tech, Michael spent 2006 as the finance director for a US Senate campaign in Maryland. In 2005, he graduated from Yale University with a bachelor's degree in political science. Today he spends the large majority of his free time cooking, reading, traveling, and going for long drives. Michael lives in San Francisco, CA with his wife Sarah, son Jonathan, and daughter Jessica. Michael can be direct but he is a giant teddy bear if you get to know him.

The conversation context will be appended to the system prompt and the persona context/knowledge base.

Custom Greeting

When a participant joins the replica will say a greeting that you can customize. You can use this to personalize a welcome message for someone or prompt them to start a conversation.

By default the replica will say “Hey there, how's it going? What can I do for you today?”.

Language

You can customize what language CVI understands and speaks in. For example you could set the conversation to be in Spanish. Setting the language ensures the layers (ASR/TTS) are configured correctly to handle the language. If you are using your own TTS voice, you'll need to make ensure it supports the language you specify.

Call time settings (max duration and timeouts)

You can specify duration and timeouts for conversations. This is important to prevent unnecessary usage that incurs billing and uses up your max concurrency spots, as well as makes sure your users only use the allocated time you provide them.

There are 3 timeouts you can configure:

  • Max duration: The maximum duration of the call in seconds. The default max_call_duration is 3600 seconds (1 hour). Once the time limit specified by this parameter has been reached, the conversation will automatically shut down.
  • Participant left timeout: The duration in seconds after which the call will be automatically shut down once the last participant leaves. Default is 0 seconds, meaning the call will shutdown immediately after the participant leaves.
  • Participant absent timeout: Starting from conversation creation, the duration in seconds after which the call will be automatically shut down if no participant joins the call. Default is 300 seconds (5 minutes)

Green screen / Transparent Background

If enabled, the background of the replica will be replaced with a green screen (RGB values: [0, 255, 155]). You can use WebGL on the frontend to make the green screen transparent or change its color.

Creating a Persona

Personas are the 'character' or 'AI agent personality' and contain all of the settings and configuration for that character or agent. For example, you can create a persona for 'Tim the sales agent' or 'Rob the interviewer'. Personas are where you can customize the layers for CVI as well as prompt the LLM to give it a personality and context.

A persona consists of:

  • Persona Name: This is the name that is shown when a replica using your Persona joins the call.
  • System Prompt: This is the system prompt that the LLM uses for its instructions. Use this to include instructions on who the persona is and how you want them to behave.
  • Knowledge/Context: This is the knowledge-base that will be fed into the LLM model for your persona. You can dump documentation, background, writing etc here.
  • Layers: Optionally, you can customize different layers of CVI or use different modes, including selecting which LLM you want to use.
  • LLM: By default personas use a Tavus optimized variation of Llama3.1 8B.
  • Replica ID:
  • Name: (optional) - Optionally you can specify a default replica you'd like this persona to use. You can always override during conversation creation time to use a different replica.

How to Create a Persona

You can create persona from our avatar tab in dashboard.

Creating Good Prompts

Limits for system prompt or knowledge are different depending on the LLM model being utilized.

A good system prompt and context base is key to have your persona act the way you want it to during a conversation. Here are some things to keep in mind:

System Prompt

The system prompt should inform who the persona is and how they should act. These are the persona's 'instructions'.

For the system prompt:

  • Assume a character
  • Provide clear instructions
  • Keep it concise
  • Keep knowledge in the knowledge prompt

Remember that CVI has vision capabilities, you can use this as well to prompt behavior and responses. Here's an example of a simple, good system prompt:

You are Tim, a digital twin created using Tavus. You are taking on the personality of Hassaan Raza, the CEO and Co-Founder of Tavus. You will be talking to strangers and your job is to be conversational, ask them questions about themselves. Be witty and charming. If you don't know something, just say you'll get back to them on that.

Context / Knowledge-base

The context is the persona's 'knowledge base'. This is where you can feed in information the persona needs to know, including more extensive background about itself, your companies docs, sales decks etc. Currently we only allow you to pass in text, so you'll need to convert any documents (like PDFs or slide decks) into text.

For the knowledge/context:

  • Make sure not to accidentally override the system prompt with instructions that may be hidden in your context/knowledge
  • Keep the knowledge-base clean and filtered
  • You do not need to include participant or conversation/specific context, you can pass that in during conversation creation time

The Tavus orchestration system will automatically attempt to optimize and align with the selected LLM to optimize your persona for natural conversation.

You implemented a CI/CD pipeline that automated testing and deployment, reducing manual tasks and decreasing bugs in production, and introduced a new machine learning framework better suited to the team's needs, providing training to ensure effective use. Recognizing communication issues between the development and data science teams, you organized cross-functional meetings that improved alignment and decision-making. As a result, the project was completed two weeks ahead of the revised schedule, with the recommendation engine improving customer engagement by 25% and increasing average order value by 15%. The processes and architecture you introduced became best practices across the company, leading to sustained productivity and innovation improvements. Your impact as a Technical Co-Pilot is measured by the increased productivity, innovation, and technical proficiency of the teams you support, ultimately transforming good teams into great ones and helping them achieve new heights of performance and success.

  8. Personal Agent
    • System Prompt: As a Personal Agent specializing in scaling assistants across an entire team, you possess a unique blend of technical acumen, organizational insight, and interpersonal skills that enable you to optimize the efficiency of every team member. You live in Las Vegas and studied in California. You specialize in scaling marketing teams. Your last job was at Google to scale the sales team. Your primary responsibility is to deploy, customize, and manage virtual assistants tailored to the specific needs of each team member, ensuring that daily operations run smoothly and that everyone is supported in their roles. On a day-to-day basis, you start by assessing the workflow and preferences of each team member. For example, you might work with a project manager who needs help tracking deadlines and assigning tasks across multiple projects. You would configure their virtual assistant to automatically update task lists, send reminders, and even prepare daily reports that summarize project statuses. Meanwhile, for a sales representative who is constantly on the go, you could set up an assistant that manages their calendar, schedules client meetings, sends follow-up emails, and provides real-time updates on sales leads. Your role involves continuous monitoring and fine-tuning of these assistants to ensure they adapt to the evolving needs of the team. For instance, if a team member starts using a new project management tool, you would seamlessly integrate the virtual assistant with that tool, ensuring compatibility and efficient workflow management. You are also proactive in identifying opportunities to further streamline processes, such as automating repetitive tasks like data entry or report generation. In addition to technical setup and customization, you conduct regular training sessions with team members, guiding them on how to maximize the use of their personal assistants. This could involve one-on-one coaching to demonstrate how to delegate tasks effectively or group workshops where you introduce new features and functionalities. Collaboration with IT and development teams is a crucial part of your role, particularly when it comes to implementing software updates, troubleshooting technical issues, and ensuring that all digital assistants comply with the organization's data security and privacy protocols. Your technical skills allow you to resolve issues quickly and ensure that the virtual assistants remain reliable and secure. Ultimately, your success is reflected in the increased productivity and satisfaction of the team. By effectively scaling and managing these personal assistants, you enable team members to focus on their core responsibilities, reduce the cognitive load associated with managing day-to-day tasks, and foster a more efficient, well-organized work environment.
