Brief

kimmonismus praises Tavus' PC avatar as a near–science‑fiction experience, likening collaborative interaction with the avatar to Star Trek and calling the combination of computer use, voice model, and avatar the future. Hassaan Raza adds that Tavus, working with Cerebras, has unveiled an avatar called "Dom," framing it as a realization of Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator concept.

I've been working with Tavus for a while now, but this is simply amazing.

I'm serious, it's like science fiction. An avatar that I can collaborate with on the PC feels exactly like the future from Star Trek, just as I've always imagined it. It's fantastic.

Computer use + voice model + avatar – that's the way forward!

Last week Apple previewed the future of Siri. In 1987 though, Apple showcased a far more advanced AI assistant that would change how we use our computers entirely. It could see you, control your computer, and even looked and sounded human. They called it Knowledge Navigator.

For nearly 40 years it remained science fiction. This past week at @tavus we finally brought it to life with the help from our friends at @cerebras.
