👋🏽 Hey there Product Hunt fam! 🚀  and thanks to @chrismessina for hunting us! It’s been 1.5 years since we last launched on Product Hunt – and we’ve added a ton of new features. Some highlights: 🧱 We created native prospecting in Clay. Search our LinkedIn database of 31M+ companies and 770M+ people to build lead lists that fit your ICP—without paying for dozens of data subscriptions • When you build a Find Companies and Find People table, we automatically retrieve new prospects every time you add new companies! • Then, use data points which lets you waterfall data like emails, phone numbers, company revenue, and more across multiple providers instantly. --- 🔢 We built 50+ native integrations with the most popular data companies around. Hunter.io, Lusha, Datagma, and so many more. • Now, you can use recipes – our templated enrichment combinations – so you can run powerful combinations of research in seconds. • Plus, we developed AI & Google Search Presets so you can save your best LLM prompts + most powerful google searches for repeated use. --- 🤖 Best of all, we’ve added some crazy new AI features: • Make data inferences with AI. Ask, “Is this a SaaS Company” using a company website. Or, “Does this website contain the following keywords”. The limit is your imagination. • Clean data with plain english formulas. AI formulas create filtered lists, regular expressions, and programmatically manipulate any body of text. • Generate entire emails on an individually personalized level with AI. Scrape whole LinkedIn profiles and feed them to GPT to write a unique email for every contact on your list. Today, Clay is about more than just data enrichment. Clay helps you bring science into the art of sales: increasing the quantity and quality of your cold emails without scaling your headcount. Find companies and people, get validated emails and phone numbers, and write personalized email sequences using AI. Join 50k+ users like Ramp, Intercom, Verkada, Flatfile, and MainStreet, who trust Clay to send millions of high-quality cold emails. Clay has saved teams hundreds of hours of manual work while 2-3x-ing positive response rates. Backed by Sequoia, First Round, and Hubspot Ventures. Don't take our word for it.

This is currently the best sales tool in the market. I'm saying that as a person who has tried over 200 tools (yes, for real, check my website!), and nothing comes close. Sales teams that aren't leveraging technology such as Clay are living in the past. The tool might be looking a bit complex at first, so not that straightforward to know its capabilities and how to use it... but they have a /learn page full of video tutorials. My best advice is to check these videos out. In summary, there's really no going back from using the tool! Do yourself a favour and check it out

@michiq Appreciate all the kind words! If anyone is curious where to get started, here's my favorite tutorial: https://clay.com/learn/getting-s...

💡 Bright idea
@tek_on_deck - congrats on building such an innovative and exciting product that represents a step-change for businesses looking to acquire and maintain good quality data. I have a recommendation for future development! Please consider building a partner program with a directory of vetted Clay specialists / consultants that can be hired for more technical projects. As a member of the HubSpot partner program I've witnessed first hand the power of building a partner ecosystem. Speaking personally, I'd love to learn how to use Clay properly but I'm strapped for time and resource. An alternative would be to hire a Clay specialist to build some of my initial projects which in turn would speed up my learning journey. A partner or specialist directory would be a great resource. thanks!
Yash Tekriwal
@jonnoprice this is something we've got cooking!! I'll send you a message in Slack to connect you with some beta experts 😏
Kareem Amin
@tek_on_deck @jonnoprice This is such a great idea. We've already set up a small version of this on Slack that Yash will invite you to but would love your thoughts on how to make this into a full fledged program
Jennifer Gopaul
Clay looks so promising. Congrats on your launch.
Yash Tekriwal
@jennifer_gopaul thank you! Were just getting started :)
Eric Nowoslawski
When I first found Clay, I was just excited that it give me public LinkedIn profile data without using my LinkedIn cookie. Now it has become the glue that holds all of my campaigns together. I send 850k emails per month for the customers of Growth Engine X and every single email is run through a clay table for validation, enrichment, and AI writing. Nothing can replace it.
Mishti Sharma
@eric_nowoslawski you are a legend! I can't imagine how many customers & businesses you've match-made with this!
Puneet Sabharwal

Caroline Kraus
Clay is by far my favorite tool in my tech stack. It unlocks so many possibilities for outbound, although I def see a lot of use cases outside of prospecting. Been using it for ~7 months now & it's enabled us to do some really cool stuff while maintaining a lean team. And the Clay team is just super impressive. The support, the features they're launching, everything is top tier. If you're not using Clay... you probs should stop reading this & just give it a try! Would love for completions to be instant, but regardless Clay has saved me an inconceivable amount of hours because what we are doing now we just would not be able to do manually. ❤️ u clay

@caroline_kraus We love you too - thank you for the support and feedback!!!
