How AVA actually works

You set a time, pick a character voice, and say what you are working toward. Each morning AVA writes a fresh short script from your goals — and your calendar and the weather if you connect them — then speaks it in that voice over a music bed while the words appear on screen. It fires over the lock screen like a normal alarm.

The free tier is 7 AI wake-ups a month. After that the alarm still rings on a basic tone, and the AI briefing is the part you subscribe for.

Can I use both?
