Artisan alternative

Looking past Artisan?

Ava is a specialist: outbound sales, end to end. Beagle is the generalist for the rest of the week - the customer thread, the weekly report, the CRM tidy-up - living in Slack and Teams rather than a campaign dashboard.

The difference

Where Beagle fits.

The shape of work Artisan was not built for.

Lives where you talk
Beagle is a teammate in Slack and Microsoft Teams, not a tab you switch to. It reads the channels it is invited to and answers in the thread.
Does the work, not just the talk
It drafts the reply, updates the record and chases the action item across ~2,700 tools - then waits for your nod before anything goes out.
Learns your team
Correct it once and it remembers. Over time it knows your tone, your accounts and your decisions - the part Artisan leaves to you.
