Artisan (Ava) vs Relevance AI

Artisan (Ava)

Ava taps into a curated database of over 300 million verified B2B contacts, pulling data from dozens of sources (technographics, funding events, hiring news, social signals). The AI enriches each prospect in real time, ensuring that outreach is based on the latest firm‑level intelligence. This depth of data reduces manual research time, improves targeting accuracy, and enables hyper‑personalized messaging that resonates with the prospect’s current context. Higher prospect relevance and faster pipeline building

Relevance AI

A visual drag‑and‑drop interface lets non‑technical users create AI agents by describing desired behavior in plain language, selecting LLMs, and adding tools. The builder abstracts model prompting, tool configuration, and workflow logic, enabling rapid prototyping and deployment without writing code. Empowers subject‑matter experts to automate complex sales tasks without relying on engineers, shortening time‑to‑value.

Using a proprietary LLM pipeline, Ava writes emails and LinkedIn messages that adapt tone, style and call‑to‑action to each individual prospect. The system employs a "Personalization Waterfall" that selects the most specific data point (e.g., recent funding, product launch) for inclusion, creating messages that read as if drafted by a senior sales rep. This results in higher open and reply rates compared with generic templates. Improved engagement metrics and response rates

Relevance AI

The Workforce feature lets users assemble hierarchies of specialized agents that collaborate like human teams. Agents can hand off tasks, share knowledge bases, and trigger one another via API, webhook, or built‑in triggers, supporting end‑to‑end sales processes from research to meeting booking. Scales complex, multi‑step sales workflows while preserving human‑like decision quality.

At Level 2 autonomy she can send messages, follow‑up, and even book calendar slots without human approval, while providing a live dashboard for managers to monitor performance. Scalable outreach with minimal manual oversight

The platform includes built‑in warm‑up, mailbox health monitoring, dynamic sending limits, and signature rotation to keep sender reputation high. Bounce testing and placement analytics ensure that high‑volume campaigns land in the inbox rather than spam folders, a common pain point for outbound teams.

Plans allocate a monthly credit pool (e.g., 10,000 credits for Pro) that is consumed per agent action, with optional extra vendor credits for higher‑capacity LLM usage. Credits reset monthly, and unused credits roll over on Enterprise plans. Aligns cost with actual usage, making the platform affordable for startups and predictable for large teams.
