What Maven does
Maven is payments infrastructure built for voice AI agents. It lets AI phone agents collect card payments directly during a call, acting as an intermediary that handles card capture and processing so companies don't have to build their own payment stack. Because Maven handles all card data, the company states card data never touches the client's servers, keeping their systems out of PCI scope.
Key capabilities
- Multiple collection methods: spoken card entry, dial-pad (DTMF) entry, and SMS checkout links
- Works with existing gateways, including Stripe, Authorize.net, Adyen, and Braintree
- Configurable AI voice (tone, pacing) plus custom greetings, transfers, and confirmations
- Multi-language support and PCI-compliant card handling
Who it's for
Maven is aimed at teams building or operating voice AI agents that need to take payments by phone. Highlighted use cases span order-by-phone commerce and upsells, restaurant takeout and reservations, home-services deposits, and collections, where phone transactions are common but payment infrastructure is hard to build in-house.
