Artisan alternative: common questions
Can ReplySetter work next to my outbound tool?
Yes. Connect SmartLead or Instantly and it answers replies from the mailbox the lead wrote to.
Can I see how the AI decided what to say?
Yes. Every reply stores its step, reasoning, tool calls and the exact prompt, shown in a debugger.
How long does it take to switch from Artisan to ReplySetter?
Most teams connect an inbox and have a first setter tested the same day. Bring the instructions you use in Artisan, turn them into a job flow, and start in suggest mode so you approve every reply until you're confident.
Can I try ReplySetter for free?
Yes. The free plan includes one agent and one connected inbox, forever, with no card needed. You bring your own AI keys, so there's no markup on usage.
