Clay
Application
Enriches and researches sales prospect lists using AI agents and third-party data providers.
Cold-email execution layer that sources and enriches leads, generates AI-personalised copy from business context, and routes qualified replies to sales reps -- the outreach layer atop Clay's data infrastructure.
General-purpose AI agents inside Clay that perform tasks on the user's behalf within Tables and Workflows, operating on individual rows; distinct from Account Agents, which persist context across whole account segments.
AI agent
AI agents that maintain persistent context across every account in an Audience segment, deciding the next best action from CRM, call-recording, email and warehouse signals and documenting their reasoning back to the account record.

Visual analytics that turns business data into dashboards and answers, with natural-language questions and agent-monitored metrics.

AI teammate that searches 300+ enterprise sources, surfaces proactive insights and triggers workflows/agents across Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Claude, ChatGPT and mobile; the single entry point to every agent a team creates within Agentforce.
