Artisan
Ava, the autonomous AI BDR, with a 300M+ contact database built in.
About
Artisan's pitch is simple: hire Ava, an AI BDR who finds leads from a built-in database of 300M+ B2B contacts, writes personalized multichannel outreach, handles replies and objections, and books meetings — in Autopilot (fully autonomous) or Copilot (human-assisted) mode. Intent signals like funding rounds, hiring changes and website visits trigger outreach, and a native power dialer add-on ($67/seat/month) runs calls as sequence steps.
Pricing is credit-based and volume-driven: a free tier with 300 credits/month, Intern at $250/month and Employee at $600/month (both billed annually), Enterprise custom. Reviewers praise personalization quality but flag opaque pricing, a 2–4 week onboarding ramp, and LinkedIn automation restrictions that hit in early 2026.
What it can do
- Autonomous AI BDR prospecting, outreach, reply handling and booking (Ava)
- Built-in 300M+ B2B contact database with waterfall enrichment
- Email + LinkedIn multichannel sequences with intent-signal triggers
- Native power dialer with parallel dialing (add-on)
- CRM sync with Salesforce and HubSpot
- Autonomy dial: review-and-approve, objections-only, or full autopilot
Setup
- Sign up and define your ICP in Ava's guided targeting workflow.
- Connect your CRM (HubSpot on Intern, Salesforce on Employee+) for sync.
- Let Ava build prospect lists from the built-in 300M+ contact database.
- Review Ava's messaging and set autonomy level (review-and-approve to full autopilot).

Prerequisites
Clear ICP definition. Email sending infrastructure or willingness to use Artisan's managed deliverability. Budget for credit-based usage that scales with prospect volume.
