Where Artisan (Ava) Wins
Fully autonomous vision
If you truly want zero human involvement, Ava is designed to run independently. Set it and forget it.
Integrated platform
Artisan bundles data, outreach, and automation in a sleek all-in-one platform with a chat-based interface.
Scale without headcount
Ava can run high volumes without any human bottleneck in the process.
Where SentByTed Wins
Human accountability
When AI sends emails on your behalf, someone should be responsible. At SentByTed, Lucas reviews before anything sends in your name.
Brand safety
Fully autonomous AI SDRs can (and do) send embarrassing, off-brand, or inaccurate emails. Human review prevents this.
Quality over speed
Ava optimizes for volume and autonomy. SentByTed optimizes for quality and results with human-in-the-loop.
Transparent process
You know exactly who is managing your outbound and can talk to them. Not a black box.
Proven approach
AI is powerful but imperfect. A human review layer catches the mistakes that damage your brand.
