Generate Personalized Gift
Pick one specific, buyable gift and write the note that goes with it, for each person on a list of LinkedIn profiles — by building (once) and running a Clay workflow that identifies the person, researches their public presence for genuine personal interests (not job skills) with Claygent, chooses a real product in your budget tied to one of those interests, finds a live product page, and drafts a short, warm message that names the interest. Use whenever someone asks: find a personalized gift for this prospect, what should we send these champions, gift ideas for my top accounts, thoughtful gifting for a deal, a send-a-gift touch in a sequence, or write a gift note for this person. Do NOT use it to write cold emails or openers with no gift, to research an account or company, to find someone's email or phone, or to buy, ship or send anything — it ends at a gift plan a person reviews. Every gift ships with its rationale, the research behind it, and whether its product link was actually confirmed.

Prepare Job Application
For each company and role on a job seeker's list, find the open posting and the recruiter attached to it, rewrite the resume in that posting's own vocabulary without inventing any experience, and draft a short LinkedIn note to the recruiter — by building (once) and running a Clay workflow that finds active openings, complete with each posting's description, and finds the recruiters to contact — the one named on the posting, or talent-acquisition staff at the company when the posting names none — then running the author's two prompts in your agent on the results. Use whenever someone asks: find the recruiter for these roles, tailor my resume to this job, write a LinkedIn message to the recruiter, help me apply to these companies, prep my applications for this list, or who is hiring for X at these companies and how do I reach them. Do NOT use it to source candidates as a recruiter, to find anyone's email or phone number, to send messages or connection requests, to submit an application, or to write cold sales emails — it ends at a reviewed draft folder per role that a person sends.

Find Recent Company Developments
Summarize what changed at a company inside a lookback window you choose — new leadership who started in that window, merger, acquisition and divestiture events, technology transformation programs, procurement notices and contract awards, and verified news items — each dated, sourced and standardized, by building (once) and running a Clay workflow that resolves the company from a LinkedIn URL or domain, finds new joiners, and runs the author's four Claygent research prompts verbatim. Use whenever someone asks: what's new at this account, brief me on this company before the call, recent developments at these companies, who joined their leadership recently, has this company done any M&A lately, any news on this account in the last quarter, or build me an account research brief. Do NOT use it for firmographics or headcount (enrich the company instead), for finding a contact's email or phone, for funding-round history as a number, for tracking a named person's job change, or for writing the outreach itself — it ends at a dated, sourced summary per company that a person reads.

Alert Reps On Account Signals
Turn a rep's target-account list into Slack alerts — load the accounts into a Clay Audiences segment, watch that segment with three Clay Signals (news and fundraising, new leadership hires at C-suite, VP, director and head level, and job postings), and post one Slack message per event into a channel the rep names, mentioning the account owner. Built once per list as an ingest workflow, three signals and one alert workflow, then it runs unattended on the cadence you set. Use whenever someone asks: alert me when my accounts hire a VP, ping Slack when a target account raises money, watch my account list for news, tell me when these companies post jobs, set up account signals for my territory, or build a Slack alert on my named accounts. Do NOT use it to research one account right now (that is a lookback summary, not a watch), to track a named person's job change, to enrich or score the list, to write the outreach, or to alert on web or topic intent — it ends at a Slack message per event that a person acts on.
