FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Get connected to our support team.

How is this different from just using Clay's 'Find Similar Companies' feature?

While Clay provides the powerful company similarity algorithm, Octave adds the critical GTM context layer. Octave’s agents use your living ICP and product messaging library to not only find lookalikes but also qualify them with natural language and generate hyper-personalized, ready-to-send messaging. It turns a list of similar companies into a fully automated, pipeline-generating workflow.

Do I need a Clay.com account to use this?

Yes, AI Lookalike Prospecting leverages Octave's native integration with Clay. You will need an account with both platforms to connect Clay's similarity algorithms to Octave’s GTM context engine.

Can I customize the qualification criteria for lookalike prospects?

Absolutely. Octave’s qualification agents are built on natural-language qualifiers. You can easily define and refine what makes a prospect a good fit, toggling qualifiers on or off to dynamically adjust your scoring model without writing complex formulas or code.

Is the AI scoring model a 'black box'?

No. Octave is designed to replace black-box scoring models. Our qualification agents use transparent, natural-language rules that you control, providing trustworthy fit scores with full visibility into the 'why' behind each qualification decision.
