Frequently Asked Questions

General​

What is Aria?​

Aria is a live audio platform where creators host sessions and audiences interact in real time. It features four space types — Private Rooms, Public Campfires, Public Sessions, and Subscriber Sessions — each designed for different kinds of conversations.

What platforms is Aria available on?​

Aria is an iOS app, coming soon to the App Store. There is no Android or web client at this time.

Is Aria free?​

Yes. Aria is completely free to download and use. You can join any public room or session at no cost. Subscriber-only sessions require a subscription to the creator. Pricing details coming soon.

Space types​

What are the four space types?​

  • Private Room — Invite-only campfire for 2 to 10 people. Everyone speaks freely.
  • Public Campfire — Open room where anyone can join and speak.
  • Public Session — Stage-style event with speakers and listeners, free and open.
  • Subscriber Session — Exclusive stage session for subscribers.

What's the difference between a room and a session?​

Rooms use a campfire layout where all participants speak freely. Sessions use a stage layout with designated speakers and an audience. Rooms are casual and social; sessions are structured and can be monetized.

Creator earnings​

How much do creators earn?​

Aria is committed to creator-first economics with a simple, transparent split. No hidden fees and no complicated tier structures. Details will be announced when the monetization program launches.

How do payments work?​

Payments and payout details are coming soon.

What are the requirements to start earning?​

Creators need Creator Mode enabled, an established audience, and compliance with the Community Guidelines. Full requirements will be announced when monetization launches.

What happens if a creator takes a break?​

Billing behavior during creator inactivity will be shared when monetization launches.

What are Interest Signals?​

Interest Signals are non-monetary engagement actions that listeners can send during sessions. They do not transfer money or virtual currency.

AI features​

What AI features does Aria offer?​

  • Live Captions — Real-time captions help make sessions more accessible
  • Session Summaries — AI-generated summaries capture key moments. Bilingual for non-English sessions
  • Content Moderation — Real-time AI moderation keeps sessions safe
  • Smart Discovery — AI-driven topic tagging helps listeners find relevant sessions

Are live captions available in all sessions?​

Yes. Live captions are available across all space types.

How do AI summaries work?​

After a session ends, Aria generates a summary capturing key topics and moments. For non-English sessions, bilingual summaries are produced in both English and the session's language. Summaries are available in your Library.

Moderation & safety​

How does content moderation work?​

Aria uses AI-powered content moderation that runs in real time during live sessions, alongside human reporting tools available to all users. Session hosts also have controls to mute or remove disruptive participants. See the Community Guidelines for details.

How do I report someone?​

You can report users directly in the app — from their profile, from inside a session, or by tapping their avatar. For urgent safety concerns, email [email protected]. See Reporting for full details.

Privacy & account​

What data does Aria collect?​

Aria collects profile information, session data, and usage data needed to run the service. See the Privacy Policy for complete details.

How do I delete my account?​

Go to Profile > Settings > Delete Account. This permanently removes your profile, connections, subscriptions, and all associated data. This cannot be undone.

AI Voice Agents​

What are AI voice agents?​

AI voice agents are domain-expert AI speakers that join live sessions alongside human participants. They listen, understand context, and respond in natural voice. Hosts invite them as guests, co-hosts, or conversational partners. Learn more.

How do I invite an agent to my session?​

While hosting a session, open your session settings and select "Invite Agent." Choose an agent type and it will join as a speaker. Only the host can invite or remove agents. Step-by-step guide.

What languages do agents speak?​

Agents speak 13 languages with natural voices and native accents. They automatically detect and respond in the language being spoken. Full language list.

Are agents always in my session?​

No. Agents only join when the host invites them and can be removed at any time.

Are agents safe?​

Aria is committed to building AI that is transparent, ethical, and respectful. Agents are always clearly identified as AI, decline requests for medical, legal, or financial advice, and are subject to the same moderation as human participants. Safety details.

Comparisons​

What makes Aria different?​

Aria is the first live audio platform where AI joins the conversation. AI voice agents participate in sessions as speakers with domain expertise and natural voices in 13 languages. Beyond agents, Aria offers live captions, AI session summaries, real-time content moderation, recording protection, and creator-first economics — all built in from the start.
