What is Clay?
Clay pushes past enrichment into ad activation while cheaper models reset what Claygent costs to run.
Clay ships weekly roundups, and two threads run through them. Audiences is becoming a system of record — BigQuery, HubSpot Deals and Salesforce Activities import into it, and it now reports the pipeline and closed-won revenue that Clay-sourced accounts drove. Claygent is becoming both cheaper and more autonomous, picking up open-weight model options and an inbox it can answer on its own. Around both, Clay is instrumenting credit spend hard: time-series graphs, per-function and per-user attribution, CPJ allowance tracking.
What is myPresences?
Multi-location reputation tool layers AI Voice and review-velocity metrics on top of its listing/review core.
myPresences is iterating on its core review-management and listing-distribution surfaces with two threads: AI Voice (rules for AI-generated descriptions and review responses) and richer multi-location dashboards (Review Velocity, Response Rate, ratings overviews across all locations). Listing Sync Pro continues to syndicate listings to 100+ online services. The team is also poking at AI-platform traffic visibility — whether sites are pulling visitors from ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Copilot.

Clay pushes past enrichment into ad activation while cheaper models reset what Claygent costs to run.
◆ Current state
Clay ships weekly roundups, and two threads run through them. Audiences is becoming a system of record — BigQuery, HubSpot Deals and Salesforce Activities import into it, and it now reports the pipeline and closed-won revenue that Clay-sourced accounts drove. Claygent is becoming both cheaper and more autonomous, picking up open-weight model options and an inbox it can answer on its own. Around both, Clay is instrumenting credit spend hard: time-series graphs, per-function and per-user attribution, CPJ allowance tracking.
◆ Where it's heading
Clay is moving from a table that enriches data toward a platform that also acts on it — sourcing a market, enriching it, attributing revenue to it, and now syncing it to six ad platforms. The volume of credit-visibility work is the tell: customers are running enough agent workload that spend has become the thing they ask about, and cheaper models plus better dashboards are both answers to the same complaint. Activation is the newest edge and the least built out.
◆ Prediction
Expect the activation surface to widen — more ad and sequencing destinations in the shape of the Nooks integration and Ads 2.0 — and expect credit economics to keep getting features, since every roundup in this window carried at least one spend-visibility item.
myPresences
0.0MARKETING
Multi-location reputation tool layers AI Voice and review-velocity metrics on top of its listing/review core.
◆ Current state
myPresences is iterating on its core review-management and listing-distribution surfaces with two threads: AI Voice (rules for AI-generated descriptions and review responses) and richer multi-location dashboards (Review Velocity, Response Rate, ratings overviews across all locations). Listing Sync Pro continues to syndicate listings to 100+ online services. The team is also poking at AI-platform traffic visibility — whether sites are pulling visitors from ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Copilot.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is positioning between two trends: AI-generated content for SMB reputation work, and the increasingly-important question of how SMBs show up to AI assistants and answer engines. Recent dashboard work (real-time multi-location performance) suggests a deliberate push toward agencies and multi-unit operators. Cadence is steady but unhurried, with most releases incremental.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Voice rules to extend across more content surfaces (responses, social posts, listing copy) and the AI-platform traffic question to develop into a real reporting feature. Multi-location dashboards will likely keep accruing per-location metrics until they become the agency-tier sell.
