A GTM data engine for named-account, long-cycle enterprise sales

Foundry and AIP deals close on conviction, context, and timing — not lead volume. Clay gives every Forward Deployed Engineer and AE the research depth that used to require a 50-person ops team.

How Clay maps to Palantir's named-account motion

Palantir sells to the Fortune 500 and the federal government. The TAM isn't the bottleneck — depth of context per account is. Clay solves the depth problem.

Blue clay sparkle — AI research on every named account

Account research, automated

Claygent reads 10-Ks, earnings calls, government RFPs, and engineering blogs — then writes a one-page brief on every named account. Updated weekly. No analyst pool required.

Yellow clay lightning bolt — mission-grade AI built for hard data problems

AI-native, mission-grade

Palantir's customers buy AI that works on hard data problems. Clay's agents are built the same way — they pull real evidence from real sources, not generated paraphrases.

Concentric clay bullseye target — signal-driven named-account targeting

Signal-driven targeting

Track every named account for the moments that matter — new CDO, AI Center of Excellence stand-up, regulatory filing, supply-chain incident. Clay surfaces them daily.

Four plays we'd run with your team in week one

Each one maps to a real Palantir motion — AIP land, Foundry expansion, federal procurement, and competitive displacement.

Tiered clay cake — stacked AIP-readiness signals across the Fortune 500

Score every Fortune 500 on AIP-readiness signals

Combine recent CDO/CAIO hires, AI Center of Excellence announcements, AI-engineer headcount growth, and earnings-call AI mentions. Surface the 200 enterprises most likely to commit to AIP this fiscal year.

Blue clay hourglass — first touch in a new CDO's first 24 hours

Trigger outreach when a CDO or CAIO joins a named account

New data leadership = new vendor selection. Clay monitors LinkedIn + press releases across the named-account list, drafts a personalized opener referencing the new exec's prior stack, and books a meeting before procurement opens.

Green clay forking arrow — routing federal RFPs to the right capture lead

Track every federal RFP + agency budget update for Foundry fit

Pink and yellow clay swap arrows — Snowflake and Databricks displacement

Run Snowflake + Databricks displacement plays on integration pain

Watch for accounts running competitive data platforms showing pain signals — incident reports, governance team build-outs, regulatory pressure. Clay surfaces them with stack context and arms reps with a tailored Foundry migration brief.

Trusted by the GTM teams Palantir wants to win

The enterprise-named, mission-driven GTM orgs already running on Clay — the same shape of motion Palantir's commercial team is building.

OpenAI

In my professional opinion, Clay has one of the most practical and exciting applications of AI, in a decades-old practice that has long been stale.

Keith JonesGTM Systems Lead
Vanta

Clay should be an essential pillar of every company's GTM stack, enabling outbound built on the highest quality data foundation possible. Now you can automate hours of manual research so sales teams can focus on selling.

Stevie CaseCRO
Intercom

This job has always been about creativity, despite how it might seem, and Clay enables me to answer more 'what if we could…' questions from our GTM teams than I ever could before.

Alexander DeMoulinDirector of Revenue Operations
Ramp

I love using and working with Clay because its extensive customization options allow it to seamlessly integrate into various systems, making it an essential part of our tech stack. Their hands-on customer support ensures we build out flows in the most efficient way possible.

Clay is a game changer for marketing, data, and operations. We have 3x our enrichment rate with Clay's combination of data providers. Clay makes it easy to use AI for GTM initiatives, unlocking new workflows that were infeasible before.

Adam WallHead of Sales Operations
Verkada

Clay is a central part of our outbound campaign program. It's helped us fully automate lead enrichment that previously required expensive and time consuming manual research. We can use the hours we've saved on manual work for more interesting, creative, and important tasks.

Davide GriecoPrev. Director of Growth
Notion

Clay saves us hours a week that we previously spent researching and vetting companies that applied to our startup program. Our auto-approval rate has jumped to ~40% — with no manual work needed.

Josh KimHead of Growth Programs
Sendoso

Scaling inefficient SDR work isn't possible without an infinite flow of capital. Clay helps automate mundane tasks like contact data enrichment, including pulling signals and triggers, so SDRs can focus their time on prioritized selling and spend their days more effectively.

Kris RudegraapCEO
Baseten

Not having Clay would hugely reduce our ability to run good outbound campaigns. We wouldn't be calling people as much, because it's hard to get good phone numbers. We wouldn't be emailing as much because we'd be likely to bounce or go to spam. Clay is a reliable source of data enrichment.

Julien ReimanHead of Sales
Rippling

Clay is the Rippling marketing team's secret weapon. It has helped us build an experimentation-driven GTM motion that iterates on ideas and scales what works. We've greatly improved our outbound email performance, deeply enriched our customer base with AI, and more.
