Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from using GPT prompts in Clay?

While Clay is powerful for data enrichment, generating copy with it often creates a 'prompt swamp' that is fragile and hard to maintain. Octave acts as a GTM context engine—an 'ICP and product brain' behind Clay—that uses a living library of your messaging to create superior, context-aware copy without complex prompting.

Do I need to replace my existing sequencer like Outreach or Salesloft?

No. Octave is designed to augment your existing stack. It pushes copy-ready sequences and qualification scores directly into your sequencer, CRM, or workflow tools via a single API endpoint, adding orchestration power without a rip-and-replace.

What kind of data signals does Octave use for personalization?

Octave combines a wide range of signals, including first-party data from product usage or Gong transcripts, third-party enrichments from Clay, and real-time scrapes of websites and LinkedIn profiles for context like company news or open job roles.

Is this just another email template tool?

No. Octave replaces static, variable-filled templates with agentic messaging playbooks. Instead of 'Mad-Libs' style personalization, our AI agents assemble concept-driven emails in real time, intelligently drawing from your company's unique use cases, personas, and value props for every prospect.
