Artisan

The AI BDR for enterprise revenue teams, plus a full AI sales team

Artisan builds AI employees for revenue teams. Our first, Ava, is the leading AI BDR: she finds and researches leads across a database of 400M+ contacts, writes and sends personalized email in your tone of voice, runs dialer call steps, handles every reply, and books meetings on the right rep's calendar. Over 90% of our customers run her fully autonomously. Artisan is a complete GTM ecosystem, not a point tool. One platform consolidates the 5-8 tool stack most teams stitch together at $100K+/year: prospecting data and waterfall enrichment (ZoomInfo, Apollo), list building and signals (Clay), sequencing (Outreach, Salesloft), parallel dialing (Nooks, Orum), website visitor identification, and buyer intent. It runs on top of Salesforce and HubSpot with owner mapping, do-not-contact enforcement, and field-level sync controls. We're built for enterprise. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA compliant, SSO/SAML, role-based access, workspace isolation per brand, and a full audit trail on everything Ava does. The common enterprise pattern: sales ops runs Ava centrally for a thousand-plus AEs who never log in. Beyond the BDR job, Ava Inbound qualifies and books website visitors from the same knowledge base, and our AI AE runs live product demos and progresses deals. Prospecting, inbound, and the demo on one platform, one knowledge base, one AI sales team. YC W24. $35M+ raised from investors including Y Combinator and HubSpot Ventures. Thousands of customers including DoorDash, Quora, SumUp, CookUnity and SaaStr. Raise sourced over $700K in ARR in six months with Ava. SumUp runs leads at $52 each. Teams in San Francisco and New York. And we're hiring.

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.)
