Frequently Asked
Questions
Why did we build Aively?
Aively started in a really ordinary moment at home.
My wife was building an online store, and I wanted to help her stand out. I came up with a nostalgic 70’s pastel cartoon look for her products. We called it Lil Outlaws. I sat downstairs creating design after design in that style while she was upstairs getting the kids ready for bed.
In the middle of making yet another design, it hit me:
- Why am I doing this one image at a time?
- Why can’t people just use this style to create whatever they want?
- And why shouldn’t she earn when they do?
That was the spark. I built out the entire concept that night: styles as reusable creative assets, remixing as the engine, and royalties flowing back to the original creator.
It started as a way to help my wife build her brand.
Now it’s a way for any creator to turn their style into an income stream — and earn when others build on what they make.
Do I need design experience to use Aively?
No. If you have a style—photos, illustrations, paintings, doodles, digital work; Aively can learn it.
You just upload a small set of your creations and then use simple prompts and controls to create new designs in that style. No special software, no technical skills, no steep learning curve.
How long does it take to train my style?
Training takes 4 to 8 minutes.
Upload 3–5 examples of your work
Press “Train”
Your personal style is ready to use
Once it’s trained, you can create new designs and publish them as products immediately.
What happens when other people remix my style?
You earn money.
When someone uses your style to create their own design and it sells, you automatically earn royalties — even if you never touch that design. If their remix gets remixed again, you still earn.
Your influence spreads → your royalty tree grows.
Whenever someone downstream earns, you earn too.
What are multi-generation royalties?
Aively tracks how your style spreads for up to five generations.
Someone remixes your design → you earn when their product sells
Someone remixes their remix → you still earn when that product sells
This continues up to Gen 5
Your early work keeps paying as more creators build on it.

Who is Aively for?
Anyone with a visual style:
- Illustrators & concept artists
- Photographers
- Painters & muralists

- Tattoo artists
- Small brands and influencers
- Hobby creators with a consistent IG look
If your style exists across 3–5 pieces of work, you can train it and start turning it into products.
What if someone steals my Instagram images to copy my style?
We built Aively so copycats don’t win.
We use style and content checks plus reporting tools to:
- Flag suspicious uploads
- Remove stolen or infringing content
- Protect the original creator’s store and royalties
- Monitor style similarity patterns to catch impersonators early
- Your creative identity stays yours.
Is my work protected?
Yes. Aively is built around creator protection:
- Clear ownership of your trained styles and products
- Enforced remix and royalty rules
- Manual review and takedowns for reported content
- Ability to prune bad actors from remix chains so they stop earning
- Creators stay protected, scammers don’t.
What does it cost?
Training a style or character costs $5.99.
Once it’s trained, you can create unlimited designs in that style.
Subscription plans are optional and offer:
- Extra monthly tokens
- More stores
- Lower platform fees
- At least one free style training each month
- No hidden fees, just a clear path from style → products → income.
