What Ava by Artisan does
Ava is an AI business development rep made by Artisan AI, Inc., a San Francisco company that builds what it calls AI employees. Ava runs outbound sales: it finds leads from a database Artisan says holds more than 250 million verified B2B contacts, plus a separate database of local businesses, enriches them, writes personalised messages, runs email and social campaigns, answers replies and books meetings on your reps’ calendars. Campaign types cover cold outbound, intent signals, re-engaging contacts in your CRM, and cross-sell and upsell, with Salesforce and HubSpot sync.
Ava 2.0, launched on Product Hunt, is a rebuild that the company says runs outbound fully autonomously. On launch day the makers explained some of the safeguards: you set qualification criteria and an AI research agent checks each lead, filtering out hard disqualifiers before they are contacted; Ava handles objections from a knowledge base you provide and escalates anything it is unsure of, and you can write plain-text escalation rules such as escalating when a prospect raises pricing. Co-founder and CEO Jaspar Carmichael-Jack wrote that Artisan first launched Ava on Product Hunt in February 2024 and has raised more than $36 million. Ava 2.0 launched on 29 May 2026 and finished #1 for the day with 337 points and 32 comments.

What the community says
From the Product Hunt launch discussion (32 comments):
The hard part with an autonomous BDR is not "can it send more?" It is whether the system knows when not to send.
The maker replied: Lucas Moeller: you set qualification criteria; an AI research agent filters out hard disqualifiers, and Ava asks the lead about anything it can't verify.
Curious to see how Ava handles the messy real-world objections
The maker replied: Lucas Moeller: from a knowledge base you set, escalating to a human when unsure, with plain-text escalation rules.
will this feel like spray and pray outreach, or will Ava understand the nuances of the buyer journey?
