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. Maya tracks gas, groceries, pet food, cell plans, and device upgrades over SMS and WhatsApp.

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 👋 — under two minutes. After ⛽, Maya pauses and waits: if you send location, she uses it; if nothing is sent, home + your favorite stations. There is no ⛽ 📍. ⛽ 📸 logs a price; ⛽ ❓ + photo compares near home (send location before ❓ for “here”). Groceries work the same. We document service-first ⛽ 🔔; routing may accept reversed order.

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

Pause and wait — if you send location next, use that; if nothing, home + your preferred stations
⛽ + [address]
Best gas price near this address (same message)
⛽ 🔔
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]
Log a pump or posted sign price (membership points when community rules apply)
⛽ ❓ + [photo]
Is this the best price near my home? — compares to home-anchor stations
[Location] then ⛽ ❓ + [photo]
Compare vs current area after you share live location, then send question + photo
[Photo w/Price]
Community
Share the posted pump price at this station and earn membership points

Tip: After ⛽, Maya waits: send location when you want “here”; if you send nothing before the wait ends, she uses home and your preferred stations. She only uses coordinates when you send them.

🛒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.

🛒
Pause and wait — location in next message uses that; if nothing, home + your preferred grocers
🛒 💲
Optimize my shopping list across multiple stores for the lowest spend
🛒 💲 + 1️⃣–5️⃣
Optimize with at most N stores (keycap digit = max stores, 1–5)
🛒 💲 + [address]

🛒 🎯
Return a single store with the lowest price for everything on my list
🛒 🗑️

🛒➖
Start removing from my list — send barcode or pick a line next
➕ + [barcode]
Add by UPC when already mid-grocery flow (operator continuation)
➕ + [barcode] + [qty]
Same, with quantity, e.g. ➕ 036000291452 3
➖ + [barcode]
Remove by UPC when already mid-grocery flow

💲 + [barcode]

📸 + [receipt photo]

🛒 📸 + [receipt]

🛒 📸 + [shelf photo]

🛒 ❓ + [shelf photo]

[Location] then 🛒 ❓ + [photo]

🛒 + [barcode image]
Barcode in message → add / remove / price (same as bare UPC gate)
➕ + [barcode image]
Add item from a barcode photo
[Photo w/Price]
Community
Share the shelf price for this item and earn membership points

Tip: Cold start list add is two emoji only: 🛒➕, then your next message can be a barcode, name, or photo. Mid-flow you can still use ➕ with a pasted UPC. To log a receipt, photograph it and send. For shelf prices, send a photo with the tag visible—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 discipline—exactly what Maya automates by text.

🍷
Pause and wait — location in follow-up → sweep near pin; nothing sent → home + preferred retailers, watchlist + shelf context
🍷 💲

🍷 💲 + [address]
Best shelf price near this address or place name

🍷 🔕

🍷➕

🍷➖
Start removing from watchlist — pick line or send UPC next
🍷 🗑️
Clear my entire wine watchlist
🍷 ⚙️
Update retailer types, budget bands, sweetness/style bounds
🍷 📸 + [receipt]
Parse wine lines from a receipt → history / watchlist
[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/.
