What Clay does

Clay (clay.com) is a go-to-market (GTM) data enrichment and workflow automation platform for sales, RevOps, and growth teams. The product centers on turning disparate account/contact information and intent signals into structured datasets (“data layer”) and then orchestrating downstream GTM actions (e.g., enrichment, scoring, and outreach) through workflow graphs and AI agents.

Clay’s differentiator is that it combines multi-provider enrichment (“data marketplace” and enrichment waterfall) with agentic research and programmable orchestration inside a single workspace. Customers can use Clay to continuously segment and act on GTM context—integrating first-party CRM/warehouse data with third-party enrichment sources and intent signals—rather than relying on one-off exports and separate tools for list building, enrichment, and activation. Clay also positions itself as an “IDE for GTM” for teams that want to build repeatable revenue systems (workflows and “grows” that can run continuously).
