About Artisan

Artisan is a San Francisco company that builds AI employees for go-to-market teams. Its main product is Ava, an autonomous AI business development representative (BDR). Ava finds and enriches B2B leads from a database the company describes as 250M+ verified contacts, writes personalized outreach, sends it from the customer's own sending domains in the names of its reps, handles replies and books meetings.

Best for

  • Automating outbound prospecting, email outreach and meeting booking without adding BDR headcount
  • Outbound Prospecting: Ava finds ICP-fit leads and runs email campaigns on autopilot.
  • Meeting Booking: Replies are handled and meetings are scheduled on reps' calendars.
  • CRM Reactivation: Re-engaging existing and churned contacts from a connected CRM.
  • Upsell and Cross-Sell: Campaigns aimed at expanding revenue from existing customers.
  • Intent-Based Outreach: Contacting prospects when they show buying signals.

Not ideal for

  • Buyers who need public self-serve pricing or a free trial, teams that want fully manual control of every message

Popular with

  • Startups
  • SMB sales teams
  • Enterprise sales teams
  • SDRs and BDRs

Frequently asked questions

How does Artisan pricing work?

Plans are sized to lead volume, mailboxes and dialer seats. Artisan does not publish prices; you request pricing and it builds a plan with you.

Who does Ava send emails as?

Ava sends in your reps' names from your own sending domains, so outreach reads as if it came from them.

Can we control what Ava sends?

Yes. You can require approval before sending, lock tone and CTAs, set banned phrases and coach Ava's writing.

Is Artisan secure and compliant?

Artisan states it is SOC 2 Type II certified and supports SSO/SAML, advanced security controls and audit logs.

Which tools does Ava integrate with?

Salesforce and HubSpot sync bi-directionally, custom webhooks bring in your own data, and Slack keeps your team updated on performance.

Does Ava replace our BDR team?

Artisan says Ava runs the repetitive outbound work (finding leads, writing outreach, handling replies) so reps spend time on live conversations, with guardrails you set.
