Ho Ho Woah.. AI Santa?! 🎅 Hey Product Hunters, Hassaan & Quinn here from Tavus, back with a cheesy tagline and something festive! We’re thrilled to unveil AI Santa—the first fully interactive, hyperrealistic Santa powered by our Conversational Video Interface (CVI), which was product of the day back in August. And before we get too far, a huge shout out to @garrytan for hunting us! So what’s so special about our AI Santa? Not only does AI Santa see you, hear you, and talk to you in real-time, but he pulls out all the stops to create a magical experience. AI Santa is here to show just how far the Conversational Video Interface has come. The Tavus magic that brings AI Santa to life: 🎄Real-time interactions ⏱️ Conversations flow seamlessly with <1 second response times and natural interrupts, making chatting natural and smooth. 🎄Agentic capabilities 🤖 AI Santa can handle tool calling, multimodal inputs (voice + visual), and even different pipeline modes, keeping interactions fluid across multi-turn conversations. 🎄Hyperrealistic visuals 👀 Built with silent frame segmentation and advanced 3D rendering (powered by our Gaussian Splat backbone), Santa’s appearance feels incredibly lifelike. 🎄Global Reach 🌎 AI Santa speaks your language! Tavus supports 30 languages, so AI Santa can bring holiday magic to everyone, no matter where you’re from or what language you speak. 🎄Workflow-centric 🛠️ Santa isn’t just fun—his backend is designed for real-world applications. From sentiment analysis to structured function calls, this tech can handle complex workflows. This isn’t just just holiday fun… It’s the perfect, festive showcase of Tavus’s APIs, which are already being used in production across industries like healthcare, education, recruiting, and customer support. The possibilities are transformational: AI-powered digital twins, intelligent agents, and more. 🤖 Developer first, always: we’re making it easier than ever to build. Want to put your spin on AI Santa? You can fork, deploy, and customize the demo in minutes. Our pipeline is fully modular which makes it simple to adapt Santa, or build entirely new interactive agents. Explore the repo: https://git.new/santa. We’d love for you to try it out! Talk to Santa at https://santa.tavus.io Let us know your thoughts. We’re excited to see the version of AI Santa you bring to life. Happy holidays! 🎄✨

I am speaking with a lot of excitement that I will be able to communicate with real Santa and experience something new this Christmas. This technology is truly mind-blowing.

@garrytan @hassaan_raza97 This has been such an inspiring product to work on with y'all, and the AI Santa is a perfect representation of today's capabilities. I remember using CVI for the first time ever earlier this summer- it was a surreal experience at the time, and it's continued to evolve every day. Proud of the whole team ❤️ This is truly a magical product, and this is only the start.

Congrats on bringing AI Santa to life, @ari_korin1 @nikita_dfp @roey_paz_priel @teodora_iliev 🎅🏼️ How does the backend handle multiple languages seamlessly? Just curious.
Quinn Favret
@ashitvora santa’s just picked up a word or two from all his travels 😉 Our backend connects to several multilingual TTS engines and LLMs, allowing us to dynamically create a conversation in the respective langugag

@hassaan_raza97 This is truly amazing technology. And a great way to showcase what your tech can do. On a lighter note, I wished this Santa also sent me Christmas presents :-)
Brian Johnson
Would you rather wait in line for your child to sit on a random Santa's lap for ten seconds or be able to speak to him anytime conveniently from anywhere?
Mark Spera
This is so funny and great. Love what Tavus is building!! ...Now what should I ask him for?
Quinn Favret
@mark_spera i asked him for a hippopotamus and got put on the naughty list for it :(

@hassaan_raza97 Congratulations on the succesful launch. This looks like a fun app. If it doesn't lag, then this can be a lot of fun. Would love to know more about Tavus's API that you talk about.

Thank god this is a developer-first Santa, unlike those other Santas.
Quinn Favret
@travis_page AI santa cares about developers 🥰
Rashmi Yadav
I asked Santa some very personal and tricky questions (that’s what he said) and got to know that Mrs. Claus is the love of his life. When I asked about their love story, he said he’d share it with me over a cup of tea next time!😂 Also, I heard Santa sing “Jingle Bell” live for the first time. What an amazing and fun experience🎄🙌
Teodora Iliev
@rashmi_yadav1 omg isn't that the sweetest!!! He definitely knows how to get us in the Christmas spirit!!! <3
Quinn Favret
@rashmi_yadav1 so cool! Singing Santa is a new one- I havent seen that yet! Thanks for trying it out 🙌
Santiago Valdarrama
I had my kid talk to Santa and he was completely blown away! He couldn't tell this wasn't real. A lot of things going on here: • Santa looks very good and sounds real. • It can pick up on your facial expressions and react to your face and tone of voice. • It adapts to different topics and reacts very well when the conversation goes off the rails. I fully believe tech will change education, entertainment, healthcare, and so many other industries. 2025 will be a crazy year.
Quinn Favret
@svpino So glad y'all could try it out, Santiago! And glad you were able to see so many of the cool features in action 🙌
Franco Caputo

WoW, that's funny!

Wow, this looks amazing! Can't wait to try it this holiday season with the family.

I love seeing these releases from Tavus. This team is showing us the future of conversational AI: fast, great video, responsive to what's on camera, easy to customize, well thought through APIs for developers. But having demos that are easy for people to relate to is almost as important as building the underlying tech. Santa for the win!
Quinn Favret
it's easier to showcase the future of conversational AI when we get to work with amazing partners like @kwindla and Daily!
Alex Pall
The first time I wish I had kids to use this!
Quinn Favret
@alex_pall2 does Drew suffice? :)
Olena Variacheva
I recommend AI Santa from Tavus because it's an incredibly fun and unique way to meet Santa Claus himself! The app allows you to chat with him in real time, as well as choose from 30 languages.

@hassaan_raza97 @bclyang wouldnt be possible without y'all! 🚀
