MayaUse a website by talking to it
Hands-free website navigation means a visitor says where they want to go and the site goes there. Maya, the AI of TryMaya, takes visitors to pages and sections, scrolls, opens pop-ups she has verified and tells them what they are looking at, by voice or by typing.
Who stops at the menu
A website expects two free hands, small taps and a visitor who already knows where things live. A parent holding a child, a tradesperson in gloves, a customer who never got used to menus, or someone on a phone with one thumb does not complain when it fails. They close the tab, and you never learn they were there.
An example, not a customer story
A woman in her seventies wants to book a lake tour for her grandson. The buttons on her phone are small and her glasses are in another room. She says, "Take me to the family tours." The page goes there. She asks what is included and hears the answer. Paying is hers to do when she decides.
What Maya does on the page
- Takes the visitor to another page of your site when they ask. In our test, "Take me to Lake Como" opened the Lake Como tours page.
- Scrolls to a section of the page they are on. "Show me how it works" scrolled to that section.
- Tells them what they are looking at. Asked "What am I looking at right now?", she described the section the visitor had scrolled to.
- Opens the page's own pop-ups, for example a tour's details window, but only the ones the setup scan checked. The scan's own browser clicks each button and keeps only those that open a pop-up and nothing else. It checks your homepage, up to 10 controls.
- Shows where a control is when she cannot open it safely, and tells the visitor to tap it. She does not say she opened something she did not.
- Takes a name and a phone number or an email if the visitor wants a person to call back. One request makes one callback.
What she will not do
- Press pay, checkout, buy, delete or unsubscribe buttons. The visitor takes that last step. On Shopify and WooCommerce she adds an item to the cart when the shopper asks, and still never presses checkout, pay or buy. The rule is written for eight languages.
- Take a visitor to your private dashboard or admin area. She goes only to public pages such as contact, privacy, terms or login.
- Say an action is finished before the page confirms it. A language switch is announced as "switching now".
- Read the page out word for word. She answers aloud from your site's content; she is not a screen reader.
Voice and typing
- Voice runs in the browser, and the visitor allows the microphone. If they refuse, or ignore the prompt for 10 seconds, Maya drops to typed chat and puts the cursor in the text box.
- Typing gets the same actions as talking. Voice uses the same tools as typed chat: navigate, scroll, open, search, take details, switch language.
- One voice conversation lasts up to 15 minutes by default; typed chat has no such limit. Voice minutes per month are 500 on Connect, 1,000 on Booking and 2,000 on Reception.
- In Instagram, TikTok and other app browsers the microphone is often blocked; typed chat still works.
In the visitor's language
Maya greets the visitor in their browser's language and talks in 70+ languages. When your site has a version in the visitor's language she switches to it with your site's own switcher; when it has none she can translate the page in place, labelled "Translated by Maya", with "Show original" to put your text back.
Beside other tools on the page
Maya is a conversation on your site, not an overlay on its code. She works beside accessibility overlays such as accessiBe and UserWay on desktop, which is the only place we have tested it.
Questions people ask
Does the visitor really not touch the page?
They barely touch it. Maya does the finding, the scrolling and the page changes. The visitor keeps the last step: buying, paying and anything that deletes or cancels stay in their hands on purpose.
Who is it for?
Anyone who would rather talk than hunt through menus: a parent with a child on one arm, a tradesperson in gloves, someone shopping one-handed on a phone, an older customer who never got used to menus, or a visitor who does not read your site's language. It is the same feature for all of them.
Does it work beside accessibility overlays such as accessiBe or UserWay?
On desktop, yes. In our test with each of them on the page, Maya's button was not covered, was on top, could be reached with the Tab key and answered correctly, with no page errors.
Does Maya satisfy accessibility law for my website?
We do not make that claim, and no add-on can certify a legal result for your site. Maya lets visitors move through the site by talking or typing. She does not change your site's own code. What your site must meet is a question for your own review.
Is there a time limit for older or slower speakers?
A voice conversation lasts up to 15 minutes by default. Within that, Maya waits while the visitor thinks and they can ask the same thing twice. Typed chat has no time limit.
Do I have to build anything?
No. Maya reads your site, shows you what she learned, and you paste one line of code. Connect €299, Booking €499, Reception €899 per month + VAT. 7-day trial, card needed, cancel in one click. Navigation by voice or text is in every plan.
Ask her to take you to a page, out loud or in the chat box: Maya answers live on our homepage. See also the multilingual assistant, the AI voice agent for websites, capturing leads from social traffic, how she avoids made-up answers, how Maya works, how to choose an AI website assistant and pricing.
