Artisan is an AI BDR platform whose digital worker, Ava, runs outbound prospecting end to end. Ava finds accounts, enriches contacts, writes and sends campaigns, and handles replies, all from one console rather than a stitched-together stack of point tools, with the goal of covering the whole top of funnel for one motion. It runs on a monthly credit model. Ava discovers leads from a large built-in B2B database, researches each one, drafts personalized email and social touches, then sends, follows up, books meetings, and monitors deliverability. Recent self-serve pricing, including a free tier, made it far more accessible than its old enterprise-only contracts. As a tidy all-in-one, it is a low-friction way to test the AI BDR idea. It is also a rented worker, which is where Nebor takes a different line. The lead data, the personalization, and the routing all live inside one vendor's tool, so the motion only exists while the subscription does. The thesis Nebor argues is ownership over rental. The system worth building keeps lead data and routing in Clay, inside accounts the client holds, so it survives a vendor switch and can feed more than one channel. Artisan can prove out a play, but a tool you live inside is not an asset you own.
