AI employees that take on real work, starting with sales

Artisan builds AI employees, called Artisans, that take on real work and help teams accomplish more. Our mission is to build AI employees that can take responsibility for work across a broad range of roles and industries. Our first three Artisans focus on sales: Ava is our outbound AI BDR. She finds and researches prospects, runs personalized outreach, handles replies, and books meetings. Aaron is our inbound AI SDR. He engages website visitors, answers questions, qualifies leads, and books meetings with the right person. Aria is our AI account executive. She delivers personalized product demos, handles objections, and helps prospects take the next step. These first three employees are the starting point for a much broader AI employee company. We're building toward a future in which businesses can delegate meaningful work to AI employees across their organizations, with people setting direction and collaborating where their judgment matters. We're a small team with offices in San Francisco and New York. We value technical ambition, fast iteration, and taking responsibility for results. We're hiring people who want to help build the next generation of AI employees.

When you first enter the platform, Ava will lead you through a 10-minute onboarding conversation. With this, she’ll have all of the information she needs to run your outbound campaign.

Ava will scrape your website and use the onboarding conversation to create a knowledge base on your company, which she’ll use to write emails.

Ava will prospect leads at scale, using our database of over 270 million contacts. She will gather 10s of data points on each.

Ava will ghostwrite & send 1000s of tailored emails to prospects on your behalf, using information provided by you and your website to understand your product, and publicly available information about leads.

Ava will respond to prospects’ replies with the primary objective of booking sales meetings into your calendar. (Please note this feature is currently in Beta and you will be required to manually review all emails for the next few weeks.)

Who Is Ava For?
