## Teaching machines how to be human

**About us**

Tavus is a San Francisco–based AI research lab focused on human computing, the art of teaching machines how to be human. We envision a future where computing is effortless, where the invisible interface eliminates the friction of today’s systems and makes interaction instinctive and human. The invisible interface will take shape as AI humans, able to see, hear, respond, act, and even look like us, emerging from our research in foundational human simulation models and a reimagining of the human–machine interface.

**Our approach**

The future we’re building is safe, transparent, and human-first. Every system we design has guardrails, moderation, accountability, and ethical responsibility at its core. We’re designing AI that expands what’s possible for people, because the future of machines is inseparable from the future of humanity.
