Hey Nihal 👋 I'm Maya. Just spoke to Sam — early-stage
SaaS founder shipping an AI customer-support agent. Your
GitHub work on RAG pipelines is exactly the kind of
freelancer he's looking for. 3-day start. Quick chat?
2:14 PM
yeah sure, can you share more details of the work?
2:15 PM ✓✓
Of course. It's a customer-support chatbot trained on
their product docs — WhatsApp + web integration, ~2
months of work. Budget is flexible for the right person.
What's your current availability + rate?
2:15 PM
I'm free from Monday. I usually charge ₹85K for a build
like this.
2:17 PM ✓✓
ACT III
Maya negotiates — never revealing your budget.

Got it. Sam's shortlisting multiple folks and his range
is a bit tighter. Given he's offering full ownership of
the AI stack + fast-moving team — any flex on the
number?
2:18 PM
Hmm what's he thinking?
2:19 PM ✓✓
Don't want to anchor you to a number — but if you can
land closer to ₹70–75K, I'll push hard for you. Your
GitHub work genuinely stands out.
2:19 PM
Okay. ₹75K is my final. Milestone-based works for me.
2:21 PM ✓✓
Perfect. Looping you in with Sam over email in 10
minutes. Brace for a good conversation 🙌

Pricing
One fee. One time. When you win.
No subscriptions. No credit packs. No retainers. Maya's AI pool is
free to search, free to screen, free to negotiate with — pay only
when a project closes successfully.
FOR CLIENTS · ESCROW PLATFORM FEE
Pay only when a project closes.
just 3.5%
of the project value, charged once — after the work is
delivered, approved, and escrow releases the final milestone.
The honest answers. If you don't see yours here, drop us a line
at
hello@heymaya.pro.
How is Maya different from Upwork or Fiverr?
+
Marketplaces require you to post a brief, wait for
applications, and sift through proposals. Maya flips that —
she actively searches talent across 20+ platforms on your
behalf, reaches out, screens, negotiates, and delivers
finished introductions. Then she runs the project itself with
escrow-backed payments. You never post, sift, or chase.
How much does Maya cost?
+
A flat 3.5% of the project value, charged once — only after
the project closes successfully. No subscriptions, no
retainers, no credits. Unlimited use until then. Maya earns
only when you win.
How long until I get my first introduction?
+
Most briefs receive their first qualified introduction within
two hours. A complete shortlist of four hand-picked,
pre-negotiated introductions usually lands within the same
day.
What if the freelancer doesn't deliver?
+
Every payment sits in Maya's escrow — released only after you
approve each milestone. If a freelancer fails to deliver, no
funds are released, Maya flags it immediately, and helps you
find a replacement at zero additional platform fee.
Can I approve freelancers before Maya reaches out?
+
Yes. You can review Maya's shortlist before any outreach
happens, approve specific profiles, or ask Maya to reach out
to someone particular. You stay in the director's chair — Maya
executes.
What kind of AI builders are in Maya's pool?
+
AI/ML engineers, LLM application builders, RAG & retrieval
specialists, AI product designers, prompt & evals engineers,
MLOps, AI automation specialists, and AI-native full-stack
developers. Every builder has shipped AI work in production —
not just taken a course.
How does a builder get into Maya's pool?
+
Every applicant is vetted on shipped work — GitHub
contributions, live products, case studies, open-source
contributions. Under 12% of applicants make it in. That's how
we keep the bar high — so when Maya sends you four intros,
they're the four best-matched AI builders in the world, not
the four fastest to reply.
