About Artisan

At Artisan, we are pioneers in creating fully autonomous AI employees – not mere chatbots or copilots, but digital workers capable of performing meaningful tasks.

Our flagship product, Ava, is an AI-powered Business Development Representative (BDR) utilized by hundreds of companies. Ava excels at researching leads, crafting and sending emails in clients' unique voices, managing complex outbound sequences, autonomously optimizing her performance, and even addressing objections while scheduling meetings. She is not just a tool; she is a collaborative teammate.

As a proud Y Combinator W24 company, we have successfully raised over $35 million in funding and are currently achieving over $8 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). We are now embarking on the development of Ava 2.0, which will redefine the capabilities of AI employees. The engineering challenges involved are substantial, and the scope of our project is vast.
