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.

Text β›½ and get the cheapest gas near you in seconds. Text πŸ›’ πŸ’² 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-MAYA (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 πŸ‘‹ (under two minutes). After β›½, Maya pauses and waits: if you send location, she uses it; if nothing is sent, home + your favorite stations. There is no β›½ πŸ“. β›½ πŸ“Έ logs a price; β›½ ❓ + photo compares near home (send location before ❓ for β€œhere”). Groceries work the same way.

New to Maya?

Start with πŸ‘‹ and 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.

β›½βž–
Block a gas station

Tip: After β›½, Maya waits: send location when you want β€œhere”; if you send nothing before the wait ends, she uses home and your preferred stations. She only uses coordinates when you send them.

πŸ›’Groceries

Maya uses a fresh-first frameβ€”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.

Tip: Cold start list add is two emoji only: πŸ›’βž•, then your next message can be a barcode, name, or photo. Mid-flow you can still use βž• with a pasted UPC. To log a receipt, photograph it and send. For shelf prices, send a photo with the tag visibleβ€”no emoji required.

🍷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 disciplineβ€”exactly what Maya automates by text.

Pause and wait β€” location in follow-up β†’ sweep near pin; nothing sent β†’ home + preferred retailers, watchlist + shelf context

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 choiceβ€”wine benefits when Maya compares channels for you. Specs: development/actions/wine/.

🍺Beer

Beer uses the same grocery-class shelf math as wine and spiritsβ€”compare before you shop, watch promo vs. everyday price, and let Maya sweep nearby retailers for your watchlist.
