ChatGPT needs a paragraph. Maya needs one character.
One tap. Maya gets it.
Maya is your personal shopping advocate over SMS and WhatsApp — she tracks gas prices, grocery deals, pet food, cell phone plans, and device upgrades so you never overpay.
Text ⛽ and get the cheapest gas near you in seconds. Text 🛒 💲 and get the lowest-cost split of your grocery list across nearby stores. No app. No typing. Maya already knows your preferences.
Send commands via SMS or WhatsApp to (888) 751-6292, or through the chat widget on this site. All commands work on all three channels.
How commands work
These shortcuts work because Maya already knows your profile. Set it up once with 👋 — takes under two minutes — and ⛽ alone is enough to find the best gas price near your home. Add a second emoji to go further: ⛽ 📍 searches your current area, ⛽ 🔔 sets a price alert. Order never matters: ⛽ 🔔 and 🔔 ⛽ do the same thing.
New to Maya?
Start with 👋 — Maya will walk you through setup in under two minutes. Once done, any command in this guide just works because Maya already knows your home address, vehicle, pets, and devices.
⛽Gas
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| ⛽ | Best gas price near my home |
| ⛽ + [address] | Best gas price near this address |
| ⛽ 📍 | Best gas price in my current area |
| ⛽ 🔔 | Set a price threshold and text me when gas drops below |
| ⛽ 🔕 | Cancel my gas price alert |
| ⛽ ❤️ | Save this as my preferred station |
| ⛽ ⚙️ | Update my vehicle or preferred fuel type |
| [Photo w/Price]Community | Share the posted pump price at this station and earn membership points |
Tip: Send your current location (iOS or Android share location) and Maya will return stations in your area instead of near your home. Maya does not track your location and only uses it when you choose to share it.
🛒Groceries
Maya uses a fresh-first frame—perimeter picks anchor your plan; center-store lines can flex. Smart swaps surface store or club labels next to national brands when the match is credible. You choose every line; nothing is automatic at checkout.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| 🛒 | See everything on my shopping list right now |
| 🛒 💲 | Optimize my shopping list across multiple stores for the lowest spend |
| 🛒 💲 + [address] | Optimize my shopping list across stores near this address |
| 🛒 📊 | Per-item, per-store price matrix for everything on my list |
| 🛒 🎯 | Return a single store with the lowest price for everything on my list |
| 🛒 🗑️ | Clear my shopping list |
| ➕ + [barcode] | Add an item to my list by UPC barcode |
| ➕ + [barcode] + [qty] | Add with quantity, e.g. ➕ 036000291452 3 |
| ➖ + [barcode] | Remove an item from my list |
| 💲 + [barcode] | Best price for this item near my home |
| 💲 + [barcode] + [address] | Best price for this item near a specific address |
| 📸 + [receipt photo] | Add all items to my shopping history (and get points for contributing prices) |
| [Photo w/Price]Community | Share the shelf price for this item and earn membership points |
Tip: Scan any barcode with your phone's camera app, copy the number, and paste it after ➕. To log a receipt, photograph it and send. To contribute a shelf price, send a photo of the item on the shelf with the tag and price visible, no emoji needed.
🍷Wine
Wine follows the same shopper math as the rest of your cart: most people compare before they shop, private-brand lanes are winning trips, and promotion fatigue is real. SVB’s 2026 wine outlook plus AlixPartners’ 2026 grocery shopper survey both point to cross-channel, shelf-level discipline—exactly what Maya automates by text.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| 🍷 | My wine watchlist + last shelf prices + one-line tier context |
| 🍷 💲 | Best shelf price near my home for a wine on my watchlist |
| 🍷 💲 + [address] | Best shelf price near this address or place name |
| 🍷 📍 | Share live location, then price-sweep my chosen watchlist wine |
| 🍷 🎯 | One retailer today that minimizes total $ for my whole wine watchlist |
| 🍷 🔔 | Alert when a favorite bottle or band crosses my target |
| 🍷 🔕 | Pause wine-specific price alerts (not all alerts) |
| 🍷 📊 | Market read: promo vs. everyday + when store-brand lanes win |
| 🍷 🏷️ | Private-label / store-brand substitutes for my style or named bottle |
| 🍷 🎁 | Gift mode: budget + bottle count + occasion—quality per dollar |
| 🍷 ➕ + [bottle or label photo] | Add to wine watchlist (text or photo of label) |
| 🍷 ➖ + [name/index] | Remove one wine from my watchlist |
| 🍷 🗑️ | Clear my entire wine watchlist |
| 🍷 ⚙️ | Update retailer types, budget bands, sweetness/style bounds |
| 🍷 📸 + [receipt] | Parse wine lines from a receipt → history / watchlist |
| 🔔 🍷 | Manage wine alerts from the universal alerts menu |
| [Photo w/Price]Community | Share the shelf tag for this wine and earn membership points |
Tip: SVB 2026: uneven discounting, oversupply, and fast private-label growth at major retailers. AlixPartners 2026: ~65% of shoppers compare prices before trips; private brand increasingly drives store choice—wine benefits when Maya compares channels for you. Specs: development/actions/wine/.
