Clay
AI sales prospecting and GTM platform with waterfall enrichment from 75+ data providers and Claygent AI research.
Clay is the go-to AI platform for outbound sales and go-to-market teams, combining data enrichment from 75+ providers (LinkedIn, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit, and more) into a single waterfall workflow - checking each source in sequence until the data field is populated. Claygent, Clay's AI research agent, browses company websites and generates custom personalized fields (e.g., "What problem does this company solve?") at scale. Clay connects to outreach tools (Smartlead, Instantly, HubSpot, Salesforce) and can fully automate the research → personalization → outreach pipeline. Used by fast-growing SaaS companies, agencies, and enterprise GTM teams.
