Our flagship product, Alisha is an AI SDR that performs the full outbound SDR job- fully autonomously without any human involvement. Our AI SDR Alisha can perform ICP research, find out prospect lists, research about each prospect across 180 web sources, write highly personalized emails to each, follow and engage, and finally coordinate like a human to book sales calls. Businesses using Alisha get 3 key benefits: 1.⁠ ⁠They get 12x output from your existing sales team. 2.⁠ ⁠⁠Are able to scale to 8 figure revenues with just a single AE.
