Overview

Ava is Artisan’s flagship AI Sales Agent designed to operate just like a human SDR. Positioned as a “digital employee,” Ava takes over the entire outbound workflow - from prospecting to messaging to booking meetings - while embodying a professional persona with defined working hours, tone of voice, and job title. What makes Ava stand out is its commitment to natural, conversational outreach across both email and LinkedIn. Instead of cold, robotic templates, Ava writes messages that feel personal and context-aware. Currently available via private beta, Ava operates in a closed ecosystem with no dashboard or manual controls. While the autonomy is impressive, companies using Ava need to trust the system fully, as there's limited transparency or ability to adjust targeting, messaging, or infrastructure.

Best For

Ava is ideal for startups and lean sales teams who want a hands-off, human-like AI SDR that simply delivers booked meetings. It’s best suited for companies willing to give up visibility and control in exchange for natural outbound at scale. Not recommended for teams needing transparency, CRM sync, or detailed infrastructure management - yet.
