AI Sales Console vs Artisan
Artisan's flagship agent Ava is an AI BDR that automates the outbound email motion end to end: lead discovery from a 300M+ contact database, enrichment, personalized email campaigns, autonomous replies, and meeting scheduling. It is positioned as a lower-cost, self-serve way to automate business development, but its outreach is email-centric rather than true multi-channel.
