Great go-to-market teams run on great data, but gathering and validating that data takes time and resources. So we built Claygent, an AI sales research agent that can harness the power of OpenAI's models, to automate the process end-to-end. Claygent centralizes lead information, scales outreach instantly, and optimizes token usage so teams get more efficiency at a lower cost. The impact has been remarkable: 10x growth each of the last two years with over 100,000 users including customers like Intercom, Verkada, and Notion. Across the platform, people are generating over 10 million Claygent runs a day. Keeping with this momentum, we’ve started exploring ways to make Claygent more proactive, like alerting sales teams to emerging opportunities in real time. This is just the beginning! We’re excited about what we’ll create together next with OpenAI! :)
