The extant references record that Ai (Aoi) is the son of Olloman. A brief narrative note in the sources states that Olloman saved Ai from a king's decree that Ai be killed; that decree was issued in reaction to a druid's prediction that Ai would be born with special powers. Beyond this concise account of his survival in infancy, the sources do not preserve a longer birth-cycle or extended origin tale for Aoi Mac Ollamain.
Surviving references do not supply any description of Aoi Mac Ollamain's appearance. The sources give no physical depiction, attire, attributes, or iconography for him, and the brief attestations identify him only by name and function rather than by form.
The only specific functional attribute recorded in the available sources is that Aoi Mac Ollamain is a god of poetry. The sources do not enumerate additional powers, magical capabilities, or characteristic behaviors; his attested role is limited to that poetic specialization within the Tuatha Dé Danann.
