Use case
The challenge
You need more pipeline but can't hire fast enough. Open SDR roles sit unfilled for months. Your existing reps are maxed out. Every week without coverage is revenue you're leaving on the table.
The solution
Hire AI SDR workers that prospect, research, personalize outreach, follow up, and book meetings, autonomously. Scale from 1 to 10 workers in minutes, not months. No hiring, no ramp time, no management overhead.
Tell your AI SDR who you want to reach, titles, company size, industry, geography. One conversation in Slack.
"Book 10 qualified meetings per week." That's it. No sequences to build, no templates to write.
Need more pipeline? Hire more workers. Quiet quarter? Scale back. No severance, no awkward conversations.

Cost per meeting

Coverage
Workers involved
You can hire a new AI SDR worker in minutes. It onboards itself and starts prospecting within hours. Most teams see first meetings booked within the first week.
No, it augments them. Your human SDRs handle high-touch conversations while AI workers handle the volume work. Teams typically see 3-4x more pipeline with the same headcount.
Shadow Workers uses task-based pricing starting at $0, the Free plan includes 50 tasks/month. The Solo plan is $50/month for 100 tasks, Squad is $200/month for 500 tasks, and Fleet is $800/month for 2,000 tasks. Compare that to a human SDR at $5,000-$8,000/month (salary + benefits + tools) plus 3-6 months to ramp. Your AI SDR pays for itself with a single booked meeting.
