What Clay is

What sets it apart Waterfall enrichment across a marketplace of 150-plus data providers, querying sources in sequence to raise match and fill rates, combined with Claygent, an AI agent that researches companies and people from the web.

Clay is a data-enrichment and outbound platform built around a spreadsheet interface: teams assemble tables of accounts or people, then enrich each row by drawing from a marketplace of 150-plus data providers. Its defining mechanic is the waterfall, which queries providers in sequence until one returns a match and so lifts fill rates beyond what any single source gives. The product also runs an AI research agent, Claygent, to scan websites and summarize findings, and it suits technical GTM and RevOps operators comfortable with conditional logic rather than reps wanting a turnkey tool. Pricing is credit-based, splitting "data credits" for sourced records from "actions" for platform and workflow runs.
