While Clay is excellent for data enrichment and workflows, its messaging often relies on static templates or complex prompt chains. Octave acts as the 'ICP and product brain' for Clay, using agentic AI to generate concept-driven messages that are deeply personalized and adapt in real-time, eliminating prompt maintenance.
You need an Octave account and a Clay.com account. Octave integrates natively, allowing our AI agents to pull relationship data from Clay and push copy-ready messages into your existing sequencer, such as Salesloft, Outreach, or Instantly.
Yes. Octave’s AI agents are designed to be highly sensitive to combined context. By feeding them relationship data from Clay along with your own first-party signals, the AI can intelligently adjust the tone and content of the referral request to match the nature of the connection.
This is a core strength of Octave. Your messaging lives in a central, dynamic library. When you update value props, personas, or use cases in Octave, all referral messages generated by the AI will automatically reflect those changes, ensuring brand consistency without manual updates.
