New Features

• Persona Editing in Developer Portal: We’ve added new editing capabilities to help you refine your Personas more efficiently. You can now update system prompt, context, and layers directly in our Developer Portal, plus duplicate existing Personas to quickly create variations or use them as starting points for new projects. Find these new features in your Persona Library at platform.tavus.io.

New Features

• Multilingual Conversation Support: CVI now supports dynamic multilingual conversations through automatic language detection. Set the language parameter to “multilingual” and CVI will automatically detect the user’s spoken language and respond in the same language using ASR technology.
• Audio-Only Mode: CVI now supports audio-only conversations with advanced perception (powered by Raven) and intelligent turn-taking (powered by Sparrow). Set audio_only=true in your create conversation request to enable streamlined voice-first interactions.
