AI employees called Artisans, starting with an AI BDR

At Artisan, we’re building real AI employees - not copilots, not assistants, but autonomous teammates. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR. She finds and researches leads, writes emails in customers’ tone of voice, runs outbound sequences, self-optimizes, and manages email deliverability infrastructure. She learns, adapts, and improves over time - just like a human would. Human team members use Artisan as their primary working platform, replacing a sprawling stack of sales tools, and have Artisans working alongside them. We went through Y Combinator (W24) and have raised $35M+ from top investors. We’re at $6M+ ARR, with hundreds of customers including Remote, Quora, and SumUp. We’re currently working on Ava 2.0, pushing the boundaries of what an AI employee can do. And we're hiring.

Here’s How She Works

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.)
