Our take
Tavus is an AI video cloning that uses synthetic media, more popularly known as ‘deepfakes’, for companies to produce customizable and scalable content. The platform enables businesses to create videos for the purpose of marketing, outreach, sales, recruiting and more while tailoring them to specific individuals.
Other players in field include Loom and Vidyard, both of which have proven the value of personalized videos for businesses, but whose services take time. Tavus is scalable as its platform can generate thousands of personalized videos in the time it would take to record just one. The videos generated currently come with imperfections, notably the lip-syncing and video-cloning, which Tavus tenuously claims creates for more engaging content.
Synthetic media was called upon heavily during the pandemic, as companies created AI-copilots that could host conferences and pitches remotely - so it will be interesting to see how this industry continues to grow as time goes on. Tavus are young, but are expanding quickly, having being backed by Sequoia and Y Combinator, amongst other top firms, and have the funds to accelerate development and growth moving forward.
