There are more and more AI SDR solutions on the market.
Sparkbase for example is live today.
Would you trust those solutions?

AI can definitely take on parts of SDR work, like automating email outreach, qualifying leads, or scheduling meetings—it’s a huge time-saver. But when it comes to building trust, navigating complex objections, or personalizing conversations, the human touch still wins. Maybe the sweet spot is using AI as an assistant to make SDRs more efficient rather than replacing them entirely.
By the way, we've launched Planyway for Jira 2.0. and I'd appreciate your support a lot!

AI can definitely handle parts of the SDR workflow to boost efficiency. Things like automating personalized emails, qualifying inbound leads, and scheduling meetings are all great use cases. But for the core selling skills like rapport-building, objection handling, and deal closing, you still need that human touch and intuition that AI can't fully replicate (yet). I think a human + AI partnership is the way to go for now, leveraging AI to supercharge SDR productivity. Btw, if anyone needs a tool to align product and eng teams, check out our AI-powered Jira app Planyway 2.0!
AI can handle a lot of the repetitive tasks in SDR work, but I’m not sure I’d fully trust it to manage the more nuanced parts of outreach. So, yes, but with human oversight.
I’d be open to using AI for SDR tasks, especially for automating outreach. But I believe a human should always be involved when it comes to handling objections or building a real connection.
