About Clay

Clay is a go-to-market (GTM) data and automation platform for sales, marketing and revenue operations teams. It combines a marketplace of data providers with an AI research agent called Claygent, so teams can source accounts and contacts, enrich them from many vendors in sequence, and act on the results from one workspace. The company says more than 500,000 GTM teams use it.
