Tavus has created a new AI-powered Santa at santa.tavus.io so you can have what it says is a 'shockingly real' conversation with Santa without going to see a mall Santa. The AI Santa is backed by Y Combinator, Sequoia, and Peter Thiel. While the call is free, there's bound to be a monetization scheme somewhere behind this computerized Santa, and it does require your email address. However, AI Santa uses the Conversational Video Interface (CVI) from Tavus, and it is incredibly observant — it even commented on items in my room.
Even though I am old enough to play Santa Claus with minimal effort in the makeup department, I thoroughly enjoyed a heartwarming audience with the AI Santa. At this new seasonal interactive site, you can chat with AI Santa, tell him what you want for Christmas, and share some seasonal cheer.
