AI Sales Console vs Clay
Clay is an AI-powered data enrichment and workflow automation platform - a supercharged spreadsheet that chains 100+ data providers in waterfall sequences (78-90% email accuracy) and runs AI research via Claygent. It is built for technical RevOps teams to access, enrich, score, and structure prospect data, then push it to other tools. Clay is a data layer, not an autonomous SDR: it does not call, converse, or qualify leads on its own.
