Agentic AI · Task agents
An AI SDR agent. It researches and drafts; your SDR decides.
An AI SDR agent takes the research and drafting out of outbound: it builds account lists to your customer profile, finds the right contacts, reads their company news and drafts the first message and follow-ups. A person approves every message before it goes out, so outreach follows each market’s rules and your brand voice.

…have a task that repeats every day and follows rules

03Facts
AI SDR agent: what to know first
- Outreach rules
- Email and call rules differ by market: in Germany advertising email needs prior consent even between businesses; in France B2B email is allowed when it concerns the person’s job. The agent drafts; the SDR checks each send against the market’s rules.
- Task agents
- Gartner expects 40% of enterprise apps to include task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from under 5% in 2025.
- After launch
- Gartner expects over 40% of agentic AI projects to be cancelled by the end of 2027, on cost, unclear value or weak risk controls, and 70% of enterprises to abandon agents a vendor built and they cannot change themselves by 2028.
- What agents cost elsewhere
- Published 2026 build prices: about $12,000 to $22,000 for a single-tool agent, $28,000 to $52,000 for an agent that reads your documents (RAG), and $60,000 to $120,000 for a system of three to five agents, plus $200 to $5,000 a month to run them.

05FAQ
AI SDR agent: what founders ask first.
An AI agent that does the research and drafting part of a sales development rep’s job: building lists, finding contacts, reading signals and writing first messages, with a person approving what goes out.
Not in our set-up. A person approves every message and every list, because outreach rules and tone differ by market and mistakes reach real buyers.
GrowAxis, with your team. Gartner expects over 40% of agentic AI projects to be cancelled by the end of 2027, on cost, unclear value or weak risk controls, and 70% of enterprises to abandon agents a vendor built and they cannot change themselves by 2028. So the agent is reviewed every month, and the workflows, prompts and documentation stay yours.
Published 2026 build prices: about $12,000 to $22,000 for a single-tool agent, $28,000 to $52,000 for an agent that reads your documents (RAG), and $60,000 to $120,000 for a system of three to five agents, plus $200 to $5,000 a month to run them. GrowAxis prices the build and the running after the free growth assessment, from the first task you choose.
No. The agent runs on its own. Inside GrowAI it also gets the rest of the AI engine: the company AI brain, the other agents and the monthly review of what they deliver.
