What is AIVA?
AIVA targets composers and media teams who need royalty-aware starting points for orchestral and hybrid cues rather than raw audio noise experiments.

AIVA FAQs
- Does AIVA replace a human composer?
- No. It accelerates ideation and mockups, but final artistic direction, edits, and contractual clearance remain human work.
