AI SDR Tech Stack: The One I Actually Run
A coding agent, a cloud database, somewhere to run agents, API or MCP data access, a warmup tool. The 5-part stack I run, plus the 2 things I left off.
Knowledge
Should I Build My Own AI SDR or Buy One? Why I Built
Build it, but have somebody experienced build it. The third answer the vendor comparisons do not offer, the disqualifier, and the point where building stops.
AI SDR Hallucinations: How I Stop Them
Put a second process over the output, and never let that second process depend on an LLM. The rule, the component I deliberately did not automate, and why.
How Much Does an AI SDR Cost? What I Actually Paid
A simple AI SDR agent costs about $1,000 once. The framework underneath took me six to eight months. Why the $200-5,000 a month benchmark is the wrong one.
What Is an AI SDR? A Definition From Building One
An AI SDR is software that takes over top-of-funnel work a junior rep would do by hand. What separates it from a sequencer, and what I chose not to automate.
How Long to Build an AI SDR? Mine Took 8 Months
A few weeks on top of an existing framework. From a blank page, 6 to 8 months. Mine took 8, with 3 years of prior agent experience behind it.
Do AI SDRs Actually Work? Where Mine Failed
Yes, with a human in the loop. Mine have run daily since 2023. The failure modes I hit myself, the reasons pilots die, and the point where building stops.
AI SDR Maintenance: What It Costs After Launch
It is permanently under development, and that is the point. What actually needs maintaining, what CRM integration costs, and how to stay portable.
Can Someone Hijack Your AI SDR With a Web Page? How I Handle It
Yes, if the agent reads the open web while holding anything valuable. The sandbox and credential-broker architecture I actually run, and the two rules under it.
