Artisan sells Ava as an AI employee, with onboarding and an annual contract. Fasrad runs researched outbound from your own inbox in four minutes.
Point it at a Sheet or tell it who to find. It researches each prospect live, sends from your own inbox, works every reply and books the meetings, with no contract and no onboarding program.
Artisan pitches Ava as an AI SDR you hire, one that automates around 80% of outbound. She sources leads from a proprietary database of 300M+ contacts, researches prospects across their sites, funding announcements, tech stacks and industry news, then writes personalized email sequences. Hiring her works like hiring. Self-serve plans start around $280 a month for the Intern tier and $600+ for Employee. Annual contracts are the standard, and the bigger tiers are sales-led and quote-based.
Day to day, though, the job is a workflow. Research the prospect, write an email that proves it, send at a pace spam filters accept, and deal with what comes back. Fasrad runs that workflow and skips the hiring. Connect the inbox you already send from, point the agent at a Google Sheet or tell it who to go find, and it's working in about four minutes, month-to-month.
It does the research live.
Before drafting, the agent browses each prospect's actual site and recent news, so the opener mentions something true this week. A scraped database field can be months old by the time it reaches an email. Then it sends staggered from your own inbox, capped near 100 a day, and stays on the thread. It triages replies, answers the routine ones, offers calendar slots and logs everything in its built-in CRM.
What each one does:
Outbound is one of its jobs. The same seat runs your inbox, calendar, research and reports, so the tool you brought in for pipeline ends up running the desk around it.
Buyers usually compare these adjacent jobs before choosing an AI agent.
Yes, at send time and on the live web. Before drafting, the agent opens each prospect's site and recent news and builds the opener on something specific and current, like a launch, a hiring page or a service they list. The research is as fresh as the moment the email goes out.
From the live web, matched to your ideal customer. The agent searches directories, funding announcements, careers pages, press and review sites. Each fit goes into your Google Sheet and the built-in CRM with a contact, a why-now note and the source, so the list you get was researched this week.
Export your lead list to CSV and paste it into a Google Sheet. Connect the inbox you want to send from, describe the offer and tone in plain language, and approve the first batch. Setup runs about four minutes. There's no onboarding program, no implementation fee and no sequence builder to rebuild.
No. Fasrad is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. You can be sending researched, personalized outbound the same afternoon you sign up. The whole commitment is the four minutes setup takes.
The agent watches the inbox it sent from. It reads and sorts replies, answers routine questions from what you've told it, and offers interested prospects real calendar slots in the same thread. Follow-ups fire only on silence and stop the moment anyone writes back. Every touch lands in the CRM.
