Instagram sent you the customer. Its browser may be costing you the sale.

When someone taps your link from Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook, they don't open their real browser — they land inside the app's own cramped in-app browser. It breaks things: features misbehave, mic access is often blocked, and the visitor bounces without you ever knowing why. Maya recognises that environment and handles it — it still captures the lead there, and helps the visitor move into a proper browser so the journey can continue.

Where a normal widget stops in an in-app browser

Most widgets and voice tools simply go dead inside an Instagram or TikTok in-app browser — on many Android in-app browsers the microphone is blocked outright, so a voice widget can't even start. The visitor you paid for with a reel or an ad lands, the thing that was supposed to catch them doesn't work, and they leave. Most business owners don't even know this leak exists, because it happens silently, off to the side of their analytics.

Maya is built for exactly this blind spot. A normal widget is a shop door that's locked when the customer arrives from social; Maya is the greeter who notices they came in the awkward side entrance, still takes their details, and shows them to the real front door. It's the difference between a bounced tap and a captured lead — on the traffic you're already paying to create.

What Maya does for social traffic

It recognises the in-app browser and still captures the lead — when a visitor arrives inside Instagram's, TikTok's, or Facebook's in-app browser, Maya detects the environment and, even where voice is blocked, captures the lead by text — name, need, contact — so the tap you paid for doesn't vanish. This is the leak almost every other widget silently loses.

It helps the visitor into a real browser to keep going — Maya recognises when the visitor is stuck in the cramped in-app view and helps them move to a proper browser, where the full experience — including voice on real browsers and iPhone — works. The awkward side entrance stops being a dead end.

It greets the social visitor in their own language — social traffic is global — a reel travels. Maya greets each visitor in their own language from the first word, so the international tap from your viral post doesn't hit a language wall on top of the browser wall.

The lead you get is the meaning, not just an email — instead of an anonymous bounce from a social tap, you get "came from your TikTok, wants the product in the video, asked about shipping to Ireland" — a lead you can actually follow up on and attribute to the content that earned it.

What happens when Maya doesn't know the answer?

Even under these constraints, Maya stays honest. It checks its answers against your approved content before responding, and when it can't verify something — or when the in-app environment is limiting what it can do — it says so, captures what it can, and offers the visitor the right next step rather than guessing.

What that means for you: You never trade reliability for reach. Honest limit — stated plainly because it's the crux of this page: voice works on every real browser and on iPhone; on many Android in-app browsers the microphone is blocked by the app, so there Maya falls back to text capture and the browser hand-off rather than voice. It does not claim to "work everywhere" — it claims to catch the lead where other widgets go dead, and to move the visitor somewhere the full experience works.
