Want AI that actually feels human and responds naturally? Try Tavus.

TLDR
Tavus creates emotionally aware, multimodal AI agents and developer APIs that bring humanlike presence, perception, and communication to real-time interactions.

Problem It Addresses
Most AI assistants lack emotional intelligence, real-time adaptability, and contextual awareness, making them feel robotic and impersonal. This disconnect limits their usefulness in scenarios requiring empathy, natural interaction flow, and true human-machine collaboration.

Solution
Tavus bridges the gap between humans and machines by building AI that can see, hear, speak, and adapt emotionally—providing face-to-face, voice, and chat experiences that feel intuitive and alive. Their PALs and API platform combine cutting-edge models in perception, expression, and dialogue for real-time, emotionally resonant interaction.

Here’s how it delivers value:

• Offers multimodal, emotionally adaptive AI agents (PALs) for personal and professional use, capable of conversation, scheduling, research, and companionship.

• Provides a developer-friendly API suite to integrate real-time video, voice, and emotion-aware interaction into enterprise apps with low latency.

• Powers its ecosystem with proprietary models (Phoenix-4, Raven-1, Sparrow-1) for facial rendering, emotional perception, and humanlike conversation flow.

Joey’s GTM Idea of the Day

3 Outbound Strategies to Focus on in January 2026

January is not the time to experiment. It’s the time to execute cleanly.

The fastest way to lose January momentum is trying to do too much at once. New year energy turns into scattered outbound, mixed messaging, and a pipeline that feels busy but brittle.

I’m going into January with just three outbound strategies. No extras. No “nice to haves.” These are the ones that actually move deals early in the year.

1. Lock One Persona for 30 Days

   January outbound lives or dies by focus. Pick one persona and commit. Not a broad role bucket. A specific buyer with a specific mandate and pressure. This removes context switching and creates faster pattern recognition in conversations.

2. Anchor Messaging to One Use Case

   If your product does five things, talk about one. Choose the use case that is easiest to recognize and easiest to say yes to early in the year. Repetition builds trust. Consistency creates clarity.

3. Prioritize Accounts by Pain, Not Potential

   January is full of tempting logos. Ignore them. Priority goes to accounts that clearly feel the problem you are speaking to right now. Urgency beats theoretical upside at the start of the year.

The common thread here is discipline. Fewer strategies. Fewer decisions. Better execution.

When January starts, you don’t want to be debating who to target or what to say. You want to be qualifying with confidence.

How to Use This

• Decide your January persona and use case before the year turns.

• Strip your messaging down to one core narrative.

• Rank accounts by alignment first, size second.

• Let focus, not activity, set the pace.

Don’t start your year by doing more, start your year by doing what’s right.
