What Clay is
A data and outreach workbench for growth and sales teams. You import company domains or a list, and Clay fills in contacts, job titles, company size, tech stack and intent signals, then helps write outreach that actually references them.
The chain it targets is finding people, filling in the gaps, writing, and pushing to your CRM.
What you can do with it
- Import a list of domains or companies and enrich it
- Get contact emails, titles, company details and tech stack
- Run AI research agents over accounts
- Clean and deduplicate the data
- Generate personalised outreach content
- Sync results to CRM and outreach tools
Who it is for
- Sales ops, growth, BD and outbound teams
- Teams doing overseas or B2B lead research
- Small teams wanting research and outreach in one loop
What to watch out for
- Enriched data is only as good as its sources, so verify before high-stakes outreach
- Bulk outreach still has to respect consent and regional rules
- Costs scale with data usage, so watch credit consumption
- Personalisation needs review; a wrong detail is worse than a generic email

FAQ
What is it mainly for?
B2B lead research, list enrichment and preparing personalised outreach.

When is it worth it?
When you are already doing outreach at volume and list quality or personalisation is the bottleneck.
