What Maven does
One number. Four things.
01
Answers from the real shelves
Someone texts asking for a recommendation or which store has a title. Maven answers from Third Place's actual inventory across all three stores.
02
Learns what readers love
Every conversation teaches Maven whether someone reads literary fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or kids' books so future picks land at the right store.
03
Fills author events across locations
When a reading at one store needs RSVPs, Maven finds readers nearby who'd actually come.
04
Run Third Place by text
Text Maven to push an event, flag a signed copy, or route a request to the store with the best stock.
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 Third Place where readers look.
The three stores, website, and event flyers can all point to the same number.
