MayaMaya for WordPress: the plugin, step by step
TryMaya is an AI revenue layer for business websites. On WordPress she installs as a plugin: you upload the zip, paste your Widget ID, tick the consent box, then connect the site with a one-time 43-character code from your Maya dashboard. WordPress then shows "Maya is connected to this site." and she answers your visitors by voice or text in their language.
What a visitor to your WordPress site gets
A visitor reads your services page at nine in the evening and wants to know whether you open on Saturdays. The contact form promises an answer tomorrow. With Maya on the site they ask out loud or type, and she answers from your pages while they are still there.
An example, not a customer story
Visitor: Are you open on Saturdays?
Maya: Yes, from nine to one. I can take you to the contact page if you would like to ask something else.
What she does on your site
- Reads your WordPress pages when you set her up, and builds her knowledge from them. You review what she learned, and you teach her any answer she missed.
- Answers visitors by voice or text from your pages and what you taught her, in the language the visitor writes in.
- Takes the visitor to the right page, scrolls to a section and opens pop-ups that the setup scan checked.
- When your site has a language switcher, she uses it. When it has no version in the visitor's language, she translates the page for that visitor, labelled "Translated by Maya" with a "Show original" button. You can switch that off.
- Saves a lead after she reads the details back and the visitor confirms, and emails you. Callback requests work the same way.
- On Booking and above, takes booking requests that you confirm with one click.
Install, step by step
- In your Maya dashboard, copy your Widget ID and download the plugin zip, maya-voice-assistant.zip.
- In WordPress admin, open Plugins, Add New Plugin, Upload Plugin. Upload the zip, choose Install Now, then Activate.
- Open Settings, then Maya Voice Assistant. Paste your Widget ID and tick the consent box that lets the plugin load Maya's script from trymaya.live. Save.
- Maya now appears on every public page as a floating button. In Maya, choose Check my site now. She confirms that she found the script on your site.
- In your Maya dashboard, open Settings, then Widget, and choose Generate connection code. The code is 43 characters, lasts 15 minutes, is shown once and works once.
- Back in WordPress, paste the code into One-time pairing code and choose Connect Maya to this site. WordPress shows "Maya is connected to this site."
You install the plugin by uploading the zip from your Maya dashboard. Most owners are done in about ten minutes.
What we ran on WordPress Playground
We ran plugin version 1.1.0 on WordPress Playground, a temporary test site, and not on a customer's live site. These steps worked end to end:
- The plugin saved the Widget ID and the consent.
- The widget appeared on every page.
- Maya confirmed "Maya is live on your site".
- Her answers came from the WordPress content.
- The connection code produced "Maya is connected to this site." The same code used a second time was refused.
Stores
A WooCommerce store uses a separate plugin that can also read the product catalogue. Read Maya for WooCommerce for what works today.

After consent it keeps a local llms.txt file and a snapshot of your homepage business details up to date on your own site, so AI assistants can read them. The setting is called Publish AI discovery files, and you can untick it.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes, through a separate WooCommerce plugin that can also read your product catalogue. See the page on Maya for WooCommerce for what works today.
