Tavus Unveils Griffin, an AI Model Built for Face-to-Face Conversation

Tavus has unveiled Griffin, a model it bills as the first face-to-face human interaction model for conversational AI. The company says the system reads facial expressions, tone and timing so AI avatars can hold natural, real-time conversations rather than turn-based exchanges. Tavus is positioning Griffin for customer support, sales and companion apps, and is marketing it as a step toward AI that feels like talking to an actual person.
