Discover, organize, and deepen all your personal and professional relationships with Clay, a beautiful and intuitive contacts app, lightweight CRM, and more. People make us laugh, challenge us to improve, support us when things are tough, and celebrate with us once they get better. But staying in touch with the people that matter thoughtfully is difficult. TRY CLAY FOR FREE Before Clay, being thoughtful required relying on your memory as well as a mix of spreadsheets, notecards, address books, and other tools. In addition to being difficult to manage, this approach let important relationships, moments, and context fall through the cracks. That’s why we created Clay—a stunning, intuitive, and private home for your relationships, built automatically from your email, calendar, address book, LinkedIn, Twitter, and iMessage. Clay helps you show up informed by creating and automatically updating beautiful cards for each of your contacts with context such as profile photos, bios, education and work history, location, and social profiles. In addition, you can use powerful features such as natural-language search, dictation and note taking, reminders, birthday notifications, news articles about people you know, reconnection cadences, and more to deepen your relationships over time.

Book club? High school friends? Easily add people to groups so you can organize people however makes sense to you. Then, use those groups to make organizing events easier and faster.

Not ready
The app crashes a lot and I had to manually import my LinkedIn contacts because the sync did not work
Unreliable
After bulk importing over 3000 contacts, and needing to delete 90% of them I immediately noticed how unreliable an app Clay is, on both mobile and desktop. On mobile I would quickly archive contacts only to discover that the archive operation was either silently failing or taking seconds or minutes to attempt an archive before timing out or something - imagine my frustration thinking I had gone from 3000 to 2900 contacts only for the count to jump back up to 2956 because most of those operations failed. Sometimes I would see the "person archived" badge many seconds after attempting to do so. Similarly I would try to merge or edit contacts and it only worked the first time about half the time. Lastly on mobile it would rarely load all of my contacts - it would display a number like 600 but I could only see maybe 80 before reaching the bottom of the scroll. Randomly it would populate more but just as frequently those added contacts would disappear again as I tried to do other operations. Very poorly designed backend, not sure they're up to the task of handling contacts in the hundreds. Not an app I will be paying for.
No iPad app
I’m writing this from an iPad
Terrible
Clay is super buggy and unfocused on its core promise of a personal CRM. iMessage import failed and cannot be redone. iPhone contacts are missing. It offers ZERO features around automated duplicate resolution. Do you really expect me to go through thousands of entries and resolve those manually??? This is a core feature, but apparently they invested time in developing a Vision Pro App??? I mean who cares about that? Improve your core product features before venturing into a new niche, nice to have app, no one currently cares about! Who is doing Product Management at Clay? That person should be fired. Terrible experience, even though it has potential if it would actually improve stability and offer meaningful features to make this super pricey subscription worthwhile at all. Right now it even fails at basic tasks and the team seems totally unfocussed.
Bad startup experience
First thing they hit you with is a free trial to a subscription that auto renews that you can’t opt out of. Terrible user experience. I haven’t even gotten to see the app yet. And you can’t skip it. Also, no iPad app, just the iPhone app.
Solid
Enough technology to be helpful but not too many tools to overwhelm you. Responsive customer service and generous free program with up to 1000 contacts. It’s what I have been looking for.
Needs to focus on core product
I really wanted this app to work after spending a ton of time importing my contacts from many sources and emailing customer support detailed problem reports dozens of times. But still the iPhone app crashes when you add an event in a note, U.S. country codes create duplicate contacts, there’s no easy way to see upcoming recurring notifications, contacts are missing entirely, and new contacts are so slow to sync that you would have to note somewhere else anything you wanted remember about them defying the entire point of the product. Yet the team is spending their time working on pointless AI integrations and an Apple Vision app?!?

Group Highlights Groups are one of the fastest ways to organize the people you know in Clay, and today we're making them much more powerful — introducing Group Highlights. When viewing a group, you'll see a new tab that shows a filtered view of the Home feed, only showing updates for people in that Group. You can filter the updates by type, just like you can in Home. Catch up on news, remember birthdays, and get reminded to reconnect, all in one place. Improved Profile Highlights We've also improved the Highlights section on each profile. Highlights now include social posts from Twitter and Linkedin, job changes, news articles, and more — perfect for getting up to speed before a meeting.
