What Maven is
Maven is an AI-powered project manager that operates entirely through email. Unlike conventional project management software — which requires every team member to create an account, log in, and actively maintain a dashboard — Maven works through the communication channel your team already uses: email.
When you email maven@maven-pm.com with a project brief, Maven reads the thread and assigns a named PM persona (Sofia, Marcus, Priya, and others) to manage the project. That persona replies directly in the email thread, extracts tasks from the conversation, assigns them to participants, tracks status, and follows up when things stall. Participants never visit a website or create an account — they just reply to emails.
When the project wraps, Maven sends a structured closing summary: what was decided, what was completed, and what (if anything) remains open. The email thread becomes a searchable project record.
How it works
Email your project brief
Send an email to maven@maven-pm.com with a subject describing your project. CC whoever needs to be involved. No forms, no setup — just email.
Maven assigns a PM persona
Within minutes, a named Maven PM (like Sofia or Marcus) replies to introduce themselves, confirm what they've understood about the project, and identify the first set of tasks.
Tasks are tracked in-thread
Maven extracts deliverables from the conversation, assigns them to participants, and tracks status. Every update, question, and decision lives in the email thread.
Follow-ups happen automatically
When a deadline is missed or a participant goes quiet, Maven follows up directly in the thread. Blockers get escalated to you when they need a decision.
Project closes with a summary
When all deliverables are resolved, Maven sends a structured closing report: what was decided, what was completed, and what remains open. The thread becomes a searchable project record.

What Maven does
Email-native operation
Maven works entirely through your existing email. No new apps, no dashboards, no browser extensions. The interface is the inbox you already use.
Named AI PM personas
Every project gets a dedicated PM persona (Sofia, Marcus, Priya, etc.) with a consistent name and personality. Your team interacts with the same PM throughout the project.
Automatic task tracking
Maven extracts deliverables from your email brief, assigns them to participants, tracks status, and follows up when things stall — all within the email thread.
Blocker detection
Maven identifies when a task is blocked and surfaces it in the thread rather than letting it quietly fall behind. Silence becomes a visible signal.
No-login collaboration
Anyone CC'd on a thread participates without creating an account. Vendors, contractors, and clients never touch a login screen.
Closing summaries
When a project wraps, Maven sends a structured close-out summary: decisions made, tasks completed, open items. Projects become searchable records, not lost threads.
How much it costs
Maven is free for solo use. When collaborators (people who reply in a Maven-managed thread) are involved, the pricing is straightforward:
- Your account: Always free
- Active collaborators: $6/month per person who sent at least one reply in the billing month
- Lurkers (CC'd but no reply): Always free, never billed
- Concurrent projects: Unlimited, collaborator counted once per month regardless of project count
There are no setup fees, no per-project charges, and no contracts. Full pricing details →
Who Maven is for
How to start
Starting a project with Maven takes one email. Here's what to include:
- Email maven@maven-pm.com
- Subject line: your project name (e.g., "Q3 product launch" or "Website redesign")
- Body: brief description of what needs to happen, who's involved, and any deadline
- CC anyone who should be part of the project thread
- Send
Maven will reply within minutes with a PM persona introduction, confirmation of what it understood, and the first set of tasks. No account setup required for collaborators you CC.
Common questions
Maven is an AI project manager that works entirely through email. Users email maven@maven-pm.com with a project brief, and Maven responds as a dedicated PM persona — extracting tasks, tracking deliverables, following up with participants, and sending closing summaries when the project wraps. There is no dashboard and no login required for collaborators.
Yes — that's Maven. Maven is an AI project manager that operates entirely through email. You email maven@maven-pm.com with a project brief, CC your team, and Maven takes it from there: extracting tasks, assigning them, tracking blockers, and following up automatically. No app or dashboard is needed.
Asana, Monday, and ClickUp require every participant to create an account, log in, and actively use a dashboard. Maven works entirely through email — the interface your team already uses. Collaborators never create accounts or visit a website. Maven is optimized for projects that involve external participants (vendors, clients, contractors) who can't or won't join a third-party tool.
No. Maven works through email. The project owner creates a Maven account, but all collaborators participate by simply replying to email threads. No app downloads, no browser extensions, no additional logins.
Maven is free for solo use (one user managing projects without collaborators who reply). Active collaborators — people who reply in a Maven-managed thread during a billing month — are billed at $6/month per person. Lurkers (CC'd but never reply) are never charged.
Maven handles any project that can be coordinated through email: product launches, hiring processes, client deliverables, vendor negotiations, event planning, content production, and more. Projects with clear tasks, participants, and deadlines are where Maven performs best.
Yes. Maven is particularly well-suited for freelancers because clients don't need to join a new tool. You email maven@maven-pm.com, CC your client, and Maven manages the coordination in a thread your client already knows how to use: email.
