LIA is an Ableton AI assistant for US producers on macOS and Windows. Through the LIA Bridge, the small helper app that connects LIA to Ableton Live, you turn plain English into editable MIDI. Ask for a trap beat with rolling triplet hats, an 808 bassline, or a house groove, and it lands as clips and tracks you fully control.

Trap hats, sliding 808s, boom bap, house grooves: describe the beat and LIA writes MIDI and session actions you can inspect, edit, or reject.
It writes editable MIDI inside Ableton Live tuned to US styles: a boom bap drum pattern, a trap beat with rolling triplet hi-hats and a sliding 808, or a four-on-the-floor house groove. You describe the vibe in English and LIA writes it into real clips on real tracks you keep editing.
Yes. Ask for a gliding 808 bassline in a set key or a hi-hat pattern with triplet and thirty-second-note rolls, and LIA writes it as editable MIDI in Ableton Live. You then nudge velocity, timing, and note length in conversation until the bounce sits right for the track.
Through the LIA Bridge, LIA creates MIDI tracks, writes and edits clip notes, sets tempo, adjusts track volume, pan, mute, solo, and sends, loads devices by preset, and manages scenes. Output is MIDI, and every change lands in your Ableton Live project for you to keep or reject.
An 808 line or hat pattern stays notes and clips you keep reshaping, rather than a finished file you cannot open.
Song generators return a finished audio file you cannot open up. LIA is an assistant instead: it writes editable MIDI, tracks, and session changes inside Ableton Live, so an 808 line or hat pattern stays notes and clips you can reshape, rather than one render you either accept or throw away.
Push-to-talk starts on Starter and up, and Realtime Talk Mode starts on Studio and up. Useful when you are cooking up a beat hands-on: you speak a request and LIA responds with editable MIDI and session changes in Ableton Live through the LIA Bridge on macOS and Windows.
Yes. It runs from your browser on desktop or phone alongside Ableton Live on macOS and Windows, so a laptop and a pair of headphones are enough to start. LIA works in English plus nine other languages, and the Free trial includes 10 total trial productions to test the workflow first.
