About this launch

Tavia is a realtime voice AI platform designed specifically for Southeast Asia. It understands and responds in Singlish, Singapore English, and Mandarin Chinese, including when callers mix languages mid-sentence. The platform features natural turn-taking that recognizes pauses from actual completion and handles interruptions, with local voices and short acknowledgements like "mm" and "ya".

Developers and product teams bring their own instructions and tools, and Tavia handles listening, turn-taking and speaking. The system streams audio and responses in real-time, starting replies when callers finish and stopping when they interrupt. Teams can use it for voice assistants, appointment booking, customer service, and other applications.

The platform is currently in invite-only early access. It runs on the company's own models for speech recognition, turn-taking and voices, with options for where reasoning logic runs. The company does not store call audio after sessions end.
