  "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": "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.",

  "notes": "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. [api_gate 2026-08-25] Reclassified unknown -> enterprise-only from the vendor's own page (https://www.artisan.co/pricing): all three tiers show no dollar amounts and route to talk-to-sales, no tier lists API access, and the only public developer artefact is a read-only MCP server over Artisan's marketing content. 2026-09-02: mcp_status none-found -> official (content-only). https://www.artisan.co/llms.txt lists a \"Model Context Protocol server (Streamable HTTP, revision 2025-06-18) exposing Artisan's public pages and blog as read-only tools\" at https://www.artisan.co/mcp, and that endpoint answered an initialize request today with the instructions \"Read-only access to Artisan's public marketing pages and blog. Use list_pages / get_page for site content and search_blog / get_blog_post for articles.\" A first-party endpoint that answers clears law 1, but this is a marketing-content reader in the Ada mould, not an MCP over Ava or any customer data; do not present it as an AI SDR MCP.",
