Free AI Sales Employee for Startups: What You Actually Get

A free AI sales employee for three months — how it qualifies website visitors, captures leads and books calls, and what it replaces at seed stage.

Free AI Sales Employee for Startups: What You Actually Get
Quick answer

Startups accepted into the MAZ Assist Startups program get the AI Sales Employee Starter plan free for three months. It sits on your website as chat or browser voice, answers questions from your own content, qualifies visitors, captures name, email and WhatsApp, and hands qualified leads to you with a full transcript — with no equity taken and no contract.

What a free AI sales employee replaces

At seed stage the realistic alternatives are a contact form nobody fills in, a chat widget nobody staffs, or a first SDR you can't afford yet. The AI Sales Employee covers the gap between "visitor lands" and "founder replies tomorrow morning".

What it does on your site

  • Answers product, pricing and process questions from your own pages — not generic filler.
  • Speaks 40+ languages and detects the visitor's language automatically.
  • Qualifies with your criteria (budget, timeline, company size) before asking for contact details.
  • Captures name, email and WhatsApp, then files the lead with a transcript.
  • Escalates to a human when the conversation is worth your time.

Also included: 1,000 decision-maker contacts

Every approved startup also gets 1,000 international decision-maker contacts with full targeting — country, city, industry, company size, seniority and department — each with a verified LinkedIn profile.

Your AI Employee converts the people who already reach your site. This covers the people who haven't found you yet. Instead of scrolling LinkedIn profile by profile and firing off mass connection requests that read as spam (and get accounts restricted), you build a list that matches your ideal customer and reach the right person directly.

Use it for relevant, personalised outreach only — fair use and applicable data protection rules apply.

Honest limits

It won't invent demand. If 40 people visit your site a month, an AI sales employee converts a slice of 40. Traffic first, conversion second — and if traffic is the gap, fix that before applying.

Who can apply

  • A physically present, legally registered company in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE or India (US startups are prioritised).
  • A company-domain email address — Gmail, Outlook and other free providers aren't accepted.
  • Fewer than 25 employees and not already a paying MAZ Assist customer.
  • A live website or product page, so your AI Employee has somewhere to work.

Applications are reviewed and answered within 15 days: either an approval with activation steps, or a note on what's still missing. Apply to the MAZ Assist Startups program.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI sales employee really free?
Yes — the Starter plan is purely free for three months for approved startups. Starter usage limits and fair-use rules apply.
Chat or voice — which should I pick?
Choose chat if buyers research quietly and compare; choose browser voice if buyers are urgent and prefer talking. You pick one for the program.
Does it need a website?
Yes. The AI Sales Employee works on your website, so you need a live site or landing page with visitors arriving.
Where do the leads go?
Into your dashboard with the full transcript, plus email alerts so you can follow up while the visitor is still warm.
