ContactOut

Clay ran two big provider benchmarks. here's where we land. mobile phone (9,806 numbers, 10 providers, tested across NAMER, EMEA, APAC): we won on global coverage. ContactOut found the most numbers worldwide, 2,878 across regions, nearly 50% of the full list. called out specifically as  • #1 for global coverage  • #1 in APAC   • top tier in NAMER. then a separate personal email study (2,354 prospects):  • #1 for personal email coverage the APAC gap is the one i'd point to, most tools drop off hard there. clay's whole philosophy is waterfall everything, never lean on a single provider, and in that stack the high-coverage anchor is the seat we own. the one you turn to for the hard-to-find people. that's exactly why we fit right in with many talent intelligence companies right now. on that note, we're slowly shifting more and more toward sales intelligence (Deepline, Unify, OXYGEN). been having great conversations with folks across the gtm sphere. the same coverage depth that wins on talent, is just as much of an edge when you're building pipeline.

We have built Clay, but for Claude Code instead of GTM Engineers. The future of GTM has no UI (or at least almost) Building an AI-native CLI was hard. The question kept coming back. What can we ship that a GTM engineer can't just vibe code in an afternoon? Claude Code can build anything. But do you actually want to? Most don't. People started rolling their own waterfall enrichments on top of Supabase. Little visibility into what's running and not that easy to set up. Also, now you are paying multiple vendors directly. They used to love Clay for solving exactly this. Now, Clay's pricing sucks, and it adapted poorly to agents. So we picked the only thing that made sense. Build something as open, flexible, and extendable as possible. GTM engineers are sick of lock-ins. Here's what shipped in OXYGEN: → Multi-provider waterfall (email, phone, mobile, LinkedIn) → Called directly from Claude Code or any other Agent you like → Bring your own keys. Or use our credits. Our Integrations: - ContactOut - Prospeo - Hunter - Icypeas - LeadMagic - ZeroBounce We also have a built-in lead and signal DB. The architecture bit: we host a Postgres DB for every user, so you don't need to fight with Supabase connections. Your coding agents hit it natively. To you, the UI looks like Clay tables. Humans get observability, but the agents get a real database. Why this matters: Frontier models got post-trained on tons of DB tasks. Agent performance is wild. They know Postgres better than any custom waterfall syntax we could invent. You get the same waterfall a GTM engineer would design in Clay, without gluing 5 vendor APIs together in Supabase. Tomorrow we're going live with Arian Pekaric 🐸 from ContactOut. We're covering data quality and how it actually impacts your GTM. Both sides: the data underneath outbound, and what changes when an agent is the one calling the providers. 12.05 17:00 CET (link in the comments) Drop your questions in the comments. Arian's answering them live.
