Artisan

Artisan is an AI-first outbound sales platform powered by an autonomous AI BDR named Ava that finds leads and books meetings.

Artisan is an all-in-one outbound sales platform featuring Ava, an AI BDR designed to run sales workflows autonomously or alongside existing tools. Ava finds high-intent leads from a database of over 250 million contacts, enriches prospect data from multiple sources, and launches personalized multi-channel campaigns across email and social media. The platform tests messaging variations, qualifies leads, handles replies, and books meetings directly on calendars. It is built for startups, mid-market teams, and enterprises looking to scale outbound motions without adding headcount. Artisan includes enterprise-grade security features like SOC 2 Type II compliance, SSO, SAML, and role-based access control, and integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Slack.
