"Hey PH 👋I'm Jaspar, co-founder and CEO of Artisan. I started my first business at 7, selling candy from my bedroom. Since then I've raised $36M+ to build AI employees and we're currently at ~$10M ARR.Some of you might remember our first PH launch in February 2024 when we first launched Ava the AI BDR.Today we're releasing Ava 2.0. We rebuilt her from the ground up and she is now fully autonomous and she runs your entire outbound on autopilot. She finds leads, sends personalized outreach, handles objections, and books meetings on your calendar. No human in the loop.She searches through 300M+ contacts, enriches every lead, and watches for intent signals like funding rounds and leadership changes. She launches personalized multi-channel campaigns, runs continuous multi-variate tests, and auto-optimizes toward what converts. When a prospect replies, Ava reads the response, handles objections, answers questions, and books the meeting.With Artisan, the entire sales stack lives in one place. Lead discovery, enrichment, signals, sequencing, a dialer, and deliverability infrastructure. All in one platform.She's already running outbound for thousands of reps at companies like Corgi, SaaStr, Quora, and CookUnity.🎁 For the PH community: new users get $300 in free credits. No credit card required. artisan.coJaspar"

"Autonomous multi-channel outreach at scale is a deliverability minefield. How does Ava handle the coordination across channels so you don't end up with an email, a LinkedIn DM, and a call all hitting the same prospect within the same hour?"
GMA Community
"Love the full outbound automation—how do you avoid domain reputation issues and ensure follow-ups stay compliant when scaling multi-channel outreach?"
GMA Community
"Don't eat my job, please."
GMA Community
"the reply handling is the part i'm most curious about. when a real prospect responds with a nuanced question (not just "remove me" or "interested"), does Ava take the conversation from there autonomously, or does she escalate to the AE? curious where you've drawn the line between fully autonomous and human in the loop, and how often that line moves once a thread gets warm."
GMA Community
"The autonomy is impressive. The open question for me is the one Anna raised: what is the failure mode when Ava is confident and wrong? Outbound is unforgiving, because a confidently wrong message still gets sent and the cost lands on your domain reputation, not on a quiet retry. Curious whether 2.0 has a notion of "not sure enough to send," or whether everything above a threshold just ships."
GMA Community
"Super interesting, the enrichment is generated in app, or through APIs/?"
GMA Community
"Is it only for B2B?"
GMA Community
"I'm just starting out, I have a quick question: in the connected Gmail account I have multiple accounts set up - I was never asked which account will be used to send emails. This means either the default account will be used, or the main account will be used - but which is it?"
GMA Community
"Over the last 3 months, I’ve tested 8–9 similar services. All of them had the same problem — the credits disappear within a few days, and the cost per contact ends up being quite high. Have you calculated the average cost per contact or other metrics?"
GMA Community
"Congrats on the launch! A few questions:- How does she learn about my ICP, the different segments, and their specificities (buying journey, pain, etc.)- Is Ava improving over time? - What kind of outreach volume does she handle (via email & LinkedIn)? How does she ensure great deliverability?- Is phone call on the roadmap?- Among the 300M+ contacts database, what's most represented? (B2B? US?, etc.)"
GMA Community
"Curious how you think about the economics of outbound if agents become abundant. Historically, the bottleneck wasn’t sending messages, it was hiring, training, and managing SDRs. If every company suddenly has an unlimited number of AI SDRs, does outbound become more effective? or does attention become the new scarce resource?In other words, does the winner become the company with the best AI, or the prospect with the best filters?"
GMA Community
"is it not working on mobile ?"
GMA Community
"Is this only for B2B ? Also, whats the source of the 300M+ contacts ? Is it across the globe or specific to geography ?"
GMA Community
"The hard part with an autonomous BDR is not “can it send more?” It is whether the system knows when not to send.For a tool like Ava, I’d want the review layer to make a few things very visible before outreach goes out: why this account, why now, what evidence supports the angle, what would make this a bad fit, and what the fallback is if confidence is low. Learning from ignores and bad-fit replies matters as much as learning from booked meetings.That’s the line between useful outbound automation and just scaling the same spray-and-pray problem with better copy."
GMA Community
"Congrats on the launch! Going from AI-assisted outbound to fully autonomous outbound is a pretty big leap. Curious to see how Ava handles the messy real-world objections that make human reps earn their coffee."
GMA Community
"Wanted to try out, still wasn’t able to pass onboarding page. After feeling all info, didn’t see next step (on mobile)"
GMA Community
"Looks interesting. The data with Eva covers for niche industries like local small businesses as well or its more relevant for B2B startups and the likes??"
GMA Community
"Congrats. Since Feb 2024, what has changed and what is upcoming on the roadmap?"
GMA Community
"fully autonomous outbound with no human in the loop is bold. the personalization has to be genuinely good or you're just automating spam at scale. curious what the reply rates look like vs a human SDR running the same list"
