Hi Product Hunt! I'm one of the co-founders of Clay, and I'm super excited to share what we've been working on. A couple years ago, and I came to a realization: despite how important building and maintaining relationships is to our personal and professional success, it's extremely difficult to do well. Our relationships are fragmented across so many places: iMessage, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, email, calendar – the list goes on! We never found a tool that worked quite right to help us be more thoughtful with our most important relationships. After trying to cobble together partial solutions in Notion, Airtable, Apple Notes, and Evernote, we decided to build Clay from the ground up to solve this exact problem. We knew it had to be beautiful, private, and carefully crafted to respect the human element of relationships. We also knew that it had to work for all kinds of relationships, across many types of professions and lifestyles. And so we did over 1000 customer interviews to get to the heart of how people express care and show up for the people in their lives. Clay is the culmination of all this research, design, and effort. We've taken the best elements from social networks, contacts apps, and CRMs to build the most beautiful way to manage your relationships in one place. Once your entire network is in Clay, you can seamlessly: ✅ Get a customized pre-meeting brief of all the people you're meeting with today 📝 Take smart notes on your conversations and link related people together 🔔 Set reminders to reach back out to someone 🧠 Be prompted to reconnect with people with Clay's Reconnect AI 🔍 Search your entire network in plain English 📰 Stop doom scrolling social media and get can't-miss updates on news, job, and location updates 💼 Find your next job or opportunity by leveraging your whole network in one place 🎉 Never forget a birthday again 🔥 And much more... And we're just getting started! We're big fans of the Product hunt community, thank you for your support — we think you're going to love Clay 🙌🏽
Very interesting. Will give it a try,
Thank you Nok! Let us know if we can help with anything :)
A friend of mine told me about Clay literally just a few hours ago but I couldn't find it then. And now here it is!
Wow true serendipity! I love that story, I'm so glad you found Clay.
It's really amazing what you have built. I am definitely going to use it and gonna send my resume to join you guys. Best wishes for your product.
Congrats on launching guys!
I love how you're using AI to help people strengthen their relationships with others!
Also the story presented by your promo video is absolutely amazing, nice work!
Thank you so much Nick! We really appreciate it :) The video was a labor of love by and the team.
Thanks a bunch Nick!
Thank you so much Nick!
Congratulations folks! 🎉
Thank you so much for all the support Francesco! We really appreciate the work you do and the great review of Clay you posted—
Thanks Francesco! We so appreciated your thoughtful review.
Now this looks like something I need in my life. Too much time flicking between different social networks is certainly an issue... I just want the very best bits!
How do push notifications work? Would they compete with the original source notifications too?
Hi Dan, one of the co-founders here! Thank you for the kind words & great question. We limit all our push notifications so we don't compete with other sources :)
Thanks for clarifying Matthew, sounds like you have given this a lot of careful thought and consideration. I look forward to seeing how you guys develop. Congrats on the launch!
I don’t say this lightly — Clay is the bedrock of my life, more important to me than email and text messages. And, grateful for the artisans of craft that have carefully designed every imaginable nook and cranny of this product. Brings me so much joy to use. Every day! All day. Big day today! Excited.
Thank you for your kind words as always, John! We really appreciate all of your enthusiastic support over the years :) We also hope you enjoyed your cameo in the video 👀
Thank you, as always, for the support, feedback, and advice sir 💫
Absolutely love Clay and can't live without it. Congrats on the launch guys!
Thanks so much for the support, Ethan!
Oh wow, thanks so so much Ethan!
Wow thank you so much Ethan!
I like the product - was waiting for something like this. but I wish more effort was spent on the core ux - working with my contacts data ; just importing them doesn’t cut it. I need to refine, correct, manage, merge, edit, organize it, etc. It’s still buggy and slow and inconvenient. The “stay in touch” and “social tricks” all come as a 2-3 priority. Think about it- i don’t need another social network , but if you manage to be my one go to place for my contacts , you lock me in for good. Something Facebook and phonebook failed to do.
BTW this is what the email inviting me to Clay (although i'm already a user :shrug:) says: "Use Clay to: - Find your next job or opportunity by leveraging your whole network in one place - Stop doom scrolling and focus only on news and updates from people you care about - Never forget a birthday again with powerful Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin integrations" Which makes me think the value props that Clay sets for itself are different from what it could be actually useful for.. Or it's an attempt to add a marketing wrapper over an obvious problem that "people don't realize they have". I think they do. I think we do.
remember connect.com ? please don't fall into their mistakes. I was trying to help them, too. I can connect you with them if interested, btw :)
Thanks Peter! 100% — we do lots of merging and editing behind the scenes, but we're building out much better tools for Clay members to edit and organize more seamlessly. It's a big focus for the coming weeks, so will keep you updated as we get those out.
great stuff Zach. Best of luck and happy to be a guinea pig/feedback firehose
Amazing — will shoot you an email now! Would love to chat 🙌🏽
I’ve been using Clay for just over a year now, complete game-changer! 👏 Congrats on the launch!
Nicolo, all your early feedback was really important! We really appreciate your support 🙏
Thanks Nicolo!
Congrats on the launch! 🎉 It looks absolutely stunning and am eagerly waiting for when the android version comes out.
Thanks for the kind words! We're hoping to have an Android App for you sooner than later :)
Thanks so much Katie!
"Made with love" is overused -- but no exaggeration when it comes to the energy and commitment of the founding team here. Clay is my operating system for maintaining relationships in a way that's both authentic and uncomplicated -- and addresses a real need in the market. Kudos to all involved.
I just read this comment aloud to our team, Perry. Thank you for all your support since the very early days :) We're so thankful for your kind words on the effort and design that went into Clay.
Thank you SO much as always Perry — we wouldn't be here withour your support and advice 🙏🏽
So incredibly kind!! Perry your support has been a shining light, thank you 🙏
