What is Clay?
Clay Ads 2.0 turns the enrichment graph into a permanent ad-targeting engine, adding paid acquisition to Clay's GTM reach.
Clay ships weekly feature roundups covering Claygent (its AI agent), data enrichment, and integrations. The platform consistently widens data coverage—NAICS industry codes, SOQL imports from Salesforce, Pardot sync—while tightening cost controls (Credit Budgets, prorated refunds) and expanding its MCP footprint. The Advanced Search in Clay MCP lets LLM clients run cross-entity queries over Clay's full data graph.
What is MySignature?
MySignature turned its digital business card into a lead-capture surface, then instrumented it.
MySignature started as an email signature designer and has spent the last year building out a second product around digital business cards. August was the month that surface stopped being a way to hand over contact details and became a way to collect them: a Collect Contacts form block, a Contacts list behind it, and analytics on views, clicks, QR scans and traffic sources. The signature editor keeps advancing separately, with reply and forward variants the newest addition.
Clay vs MySignature: editorial side-by-side
Clay
5.0MARKETING
Clay Ads 2.0 turns the enrichment graph into a permanent ad-targeting engine, adding paid acquisition to Clay's GTM reach.
◆ Current state
Clay ships weekly feature roundups covering Claygent (its AI agent), data enrichment, and integrations. The platform consistently widens data coverage—NAICS industry codes, SOQL imports from Salesforce, Pardot sync—while tightening cost controls (Credit Budgets, prorated refunds) and expanding its MCP footprint. The Advanced Search in Clay MCP lets LLM clients run cross-entity queries over Clay's full data graph.
◆ Where it's heading
Clay is moving from a sales enrichment tool toward a full GTM automation system. Clay Ads 2.0—unlimited always-on audiences syncing to six ad platforms—is the clearest evidence: the same enriched data that drives outbound sequences now powers paid acquisition. The Claygent Skills system (reusable instruction sets that load automatically) is the agentic layer that ties these surfaces together into orchestrated campaigns.
◆ Prediction
Expect additional paid channel integrations (Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads) and deeper Claygent autonomy—multi-step campaign workflows that span enrichment, outbound, and ad retargeting without manual handoffs.
MySignature
6.3MARKETING
MySignature turned its digital business card into a lead-capture surface, then instrumented it.
◆ Current state
MySignature started as an email signature designer and has spent the last year building out a second product around digital business cards. August was the month that surface stopped being a way to hand over contact details and became a way to collect them: a Collect Contacts form block, a Contacts list behind it, and analytics on views, clicks, QR scans and traffic sources. The signature editor keeps advancing separately, with reply and forward variants the newest addition.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is from presentation to acquisition. Design tooling — drag mode, AI layout suggestions, banner campaigns — made signatures look better; the card work makes them measurable and makes them capture. That is a different business: a signature is a design asset, a card that collects and reports on leads is a small marketing channel, and the Contacts list is the first place MySignature holds customer data of its own.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Contacts list to grow the obvious next pieces — export, tagging, and a route into the CRMs and marketing tools its Teams customers already run.
