Realtime Conversational Video with Pipecat and Tavus
Co-presented with Chad Bailey (Daily/Pipecat) on building real-time conversational video AI using the open-source Pipecat framework and Tavus.
I've had the privilege of speaking at various events and participating in insightful podcast and radio interviews.
Additionally, my work has been featured in several noteworthy articles. I find great joy in sharing my ideas on stage, where the dynamic interaction with the audience enhances communication. Podcast interviews, too, hold a special place in my heart, as they afford me the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and address questions, moving beyond merely presenting my opinions.
