What Maven does
One number. Four things.
01
Answers from the real catalog
Someone texts asking about first editions or a specific author. Maven answers from Pistil's actual inventory with conditions and provenance.
02
Learns what collectors collect
Every conversation teaches Maven whether someone collects literary, sci-fi, fantasy, or rare non-fiction firsts so future picks land.
03
Pushes rare finds to the right people
When a first edition or signed copy comes in, Maven finds the collectors who'd actually want it.
04
Run Pistil by text
Text Maven to flag a rare find, share photos on request, or see who's been hunting a specific author.
The team side
Your team sees the week at a glance.
People just text. Your team gets a clean Home page with the key numbers, recent activity, and the few controls worth touching.
Use it anywhere
Put Pistil where collectors look.
The website, newsletters, and book fair signage can all point to the same number.
