Real Scenarios
How Radio Pros Use Ava Customization
Morning Show Host
Your custom instructions include: "We do a 'Would You Rather' every Tuesday. My co-host Dave always takes the contrarian position. I collect vintage sneakers and the audience loves roasting me for it." Now when Ava brainstorms content, she works these elements in naturally.
Voice Tracker Across 3 Markets
You track Country in Dallas, Hot AC in Austin, and Rock in Houston. Set up a different Ava profile for each market with the right format, audience, and local references. Ava adjusts automatically when you switch.
PD Setting Up Talent
Configure Ava profiles for each show on your station. The morning crew gets edgy and pop-culture-forward. The midday host gets warm and community-focused. Same platform, completely different outputs.
