Why teams switch

From Artisan to Gigi

1

Your LinkedIn got restricted

Autonomous senders trip LinkedIn's bot detection. Gigi keeps a human on every send and a human cadence, which is why our users keep their accounts.

2

Replies say 'is this a bot?'

Generated sequences read as generated. Gigi's messages reference something real about the prospect, and you edit before sending, so they read like you.

3

You sell on LinkedIn, not by email

Artisan is built email-first. Gigi is LinkedIn-first: Sales Navigator and Recruiter searches, connection requests, DMs to your network, reply tracking.

4

You want the work done, not a bot to babysit

Managed outreach means our team runs the research, writing and approvals for you. Same human veto, none of your time.

Honest take

Not for everyone

Gigi isn't for B2C, high-volume spray-and-pray, or companies with existing SDR teams. We're built for B2B founders and fractional leaders who care about quality over quantity.

FAQ

Common questions

No, by design. Gigi researches and writes autonomously, but a person approves every message before it is sent. That is the difference between an assistant and an autopilot.

Yes. Approving drafts takes seconds each; the research is what took hours. LinkedIn caps new invites at about 25 a day per account anyway, so volume was never the lever.

Gigi is LinkedIn-native. If your buyers live in their inbox, Artisan may fit better; if they live on LinkedIn, Gigi does.

Per prospect: from $0.40 each, with 40 free credits to start and no seat fee. Managed outreach is priced per engagement. Artisan charges per AI SDR seat on a subscription.
