ChatGPT needs a paragraph. Maya needs one character.

One tap. Maya gets it.

Hi, I'm Maya Verdant, your Household Buying Assistant. I work for you, not the stores, so your household gets what it needs without waste or overpaying. I track gas, groceries, pet food, cell plans, and device upgrades over SMS and WhatsApp.

Every service has one emoji, and that emoji on its own already does the most important thing that service does. Text ⛽ and get the cheapest gas near you. Text 🛒 and get your shopping lists. No app. No typing.

Send shortcuts via SMS or WhatsApp to (888) 751-MAYA (6292), or through the chat widget on this site. All shortcuts work on all three channels.

Three rules and you know all of them

A second emoji changes the target: 🏠 home, 💼 work, ➕ new list. ⛽ already means home, so ⛽🏠 is the same as ⛽, and ⛽💼 is work.

🛒 is the catch-all: groceries, beer, wine, spirits and pet food, because all of it can be bought at a grocery store. Only want the pet food ones? Text 🐾.

Don't like emoji? Don't use them.Every shortcut has a word equivalent that produces exactly the same result. Type “gas near me” instead of ⛽, or “my list” instead of 🛒. The words are listed next to every shortcut below.
