About Artisan

Artisan builds AI employees, called Artisans, that take on real work and help teams accomplish more. Our mission is to build AI employees that can take responsibility for work across a broad range of roles and industries. Our first three Artisans focus on sales: Ava is our outbound AI BDR. She finds and researches prospects, runs personalized outreach, handles replies, and books meetings. Aaron is our inbound AI SDR. He engages website visitors, answers questions, qualifies leads, and books meetings with the right person. Aria is our AI account executive. She delivers personalized product demos, handles objections, and helps prospects take the next step. These first three employees are the starting point for a much broader AI employee company. We're building toward a future in which businesses can delegate meaningful work to AI employees across their organizations, with people setting direction and collaborating where their judgment matters. We're a small team with offices in San Francisco and New York. We value technical ambition, fast iteration, and taking responsibility for results. We're hiring people who want to help build the next generation of AI employees.
