Short prompts, one job each and a clear answer format. Our rules for AI research in Clay.
Research

Claygent can save hours of research or produce confident nonsense. The difference is almost always the prompt.
One job per prompt
Ask for one thing, like the head of revenue operations, not a full account summary.
Ask for a format
Tell it to answer with a name and a URL, or with the word none. Clean answers are easy to check and easy to use in the next column.
Always check a sample
Before running on 5,000 rows, check 20 by hand.
