No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [https://www.artisan.co](https://www.artisan.co) · entry id 04-artisan-ai · source 04-ai-sdr-agents.md line 30 **What it does** An AI agent ("Ava") that finds and enriches B2B leads, writes and sends personalized outreach, handles replies, and books meetings - marketed as running outbound "end to end." **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Lead research/enrichment and message personalization are AI-driven per vendor copy; reply-handling and end-to-end autonomy claims ("runs outbound end to end") could not be independently verified - treat as vendor-copy-only until bench-tested. **RevOps role** Full-funnel outbound replacement layer - positioned to replace an entire SDR hire, not just a sequencing tool. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: No MCP found - **Auth**: n/a - **Parsed URLs**: 0 found in the mcp_url field No server was found at the time of the check. That is a statement about the search, not a promise that none exists. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: none-found The mcp_url field is empty on this entry. 21 of 293 entries are. **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Gate unknown - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Not established api_gate, verbatim from the file: unknown - pricing page exists (artisan.co/pricing) but returned only a page summary ("credit-based, tiers for startups through enterprise") with no self-serve signup confirmed; no API access tier documented 83 of 293 entries carry an unknown gate. Unknown is a legal answer and it ships as unknown rather than as a guess. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Search people by criteria](../jobs/search-people-by-criteria.md) - [Run an email sequence](../jobs/run-email-sequence.md) - [Draft personalized outreach](../jobs/draft-personalized-outreach.md) - [Run an autonomous SDR agent](../jobs/run-autonomous-sdr-agent.md) - [Book a meeting](../jobs/book-a-meeting.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://www.artisan.co](https://www.artisan.co) - [https://www.artisan.co/pricing](https://www.artisan.co/pricing) 2 source URLs. Raw sources field, verbatim: https://www.artisan.co, https://www.artisan.co/pricing **Notes, verbatim from the file** Famous for its 2024 "stop hiring humans" billboard campaign - a marketing stance worth noting since it signals how aggressively the vendor copy should be discounted. Good bench-test candidate precisely because the claims are so strong. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 04-artisan-ai - **Source file**: 04-ai-sdr-agents.md - **Source line**: 30 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-24 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it. Nothing is summarised and nothing is dropped. The one change made at render time is typographic and it is disclosed on the [methodology page](../methodology.md).
