Definition
Claygent web researcher is Clay's AI research agent that scrapes publicly available web data inside Clay tables to generate custom data points — company details, founder backgrounds, office locations, product positioning — as part of B2B enrichment and GTM workflows.
In Depth
Claygent sits inside Clay's tabular GTM workflow, consuming Data Credits and Actions per run. It is strong at prompt-based research that needs Clay's waterfall context but weaker when the same research layer is needed from outside Clay — for example, from a LangChain agent, CrewAI crew, MCP server, or n8n workflow. Teams that want a standalone API with structured Google SERP, YouTube transcripts, Amazon product data, or Reddit threads typically pair Claygent with Scavio, or replace it when the workload lives outside Clay tables.
Example Usage
The GTM team used Claygent web researcher for in-Clay account enrichment and Scavio for the LangChain research agent that ran outside Clay, sharing a common taxonomy.
