Clay alternative

The Clay alternative that ships the work, not just the list

Clay is great at enriched lists. But GTM teams want execution and measurement, not just data. dolv is a grounded AI command center that composes, prepares and measures outreach across your stack — with a human in the loop on every send. The best Clay alternative for doing the work, not just building it.

The shift

Why teams look for a Clay alternative

Enriched lists are the start of GTM, not the finish. The reason people search for an alternative to Clay is rarely the data — it’s the gap between “we have the contacts” and “we shipped on-brand outreach and know what it drove.”

Clay is excellent at waterfall enrichment, scraping and signals — building the list. But the list still has to be turned into outreach, and that outreach still has to be measured. dolv is the operator that closes both gaps: a grounded AI command center with 84 callable tools that do the work and report on the result. Pair it with your data source of choice, or pull contacts straight from your connected integrations, then let dolv compose, prepare and measure across the funnel.

The action layer

What dolv does that an enrichment tool can’t

Not a data provider — a grounded command center with tools that execute outreach, then measure what it moved. This is the agentic AI GTM platform for doing the work.

A command center that executes

Grounded chat with 84 callable tools that do real work — compose_content, prepare_email and prepare_linkedin_post produce on-brand outreach, grounded by default in your company, playbooks and knowledge. An operator, not a chatbot.

Human-in-the-loop approvals

Every external send queues in the approval inbox — prepare → approve → executing → done. On approve, the real Gmail, Outlook or LinkedIn call runs. Nothing leaves the building without your one-click sign-off.

Budget-capped agents + Director

Configure agents with a role and a grounded prompt, capped at a monthly budget (default $250). A Director orchestrates multi-agent campaigns into one deliverable, and every run logs its start, finish, output and any error.

Unified funnel intelligence

A TOFU/MOFU/BOFU funnel on a rolling 30-day baseline with a weighted health score (TOFU .25 / MOFU .40 / BOFU .35), so you judge outreach on what it moved — not on how many emails went out.

Correlation + 5-model attribution

A cross-metric correlation engine surfaces lagged, plain-language cause → effect, while five multi-touch attribution models tie each touch back to the pipeline it actually drove.

Intent-signal lead scoring

Lead scoring reads engagement signals across your 30 connected read+write integrations and ranks the accounts most likely to move next — with the reasons attached, ready to act on.

  • 84 grounded tools that read your data and execute real GTM work.
  • $250/mo default budget cap per agent, with tracked spend and full run history.
  • 5 models multi-touch attribution models tie each touch to the pipeline it moved.
  • 30 read + write integrations across email, social, docs and analytics.

The loop

From enriched list to shipped, measured outreach

dolv doesn’t stop at a list. It composes, ships on your approval, then measures what the outreach actually drove across the funnel.

  1. 01

    Bring the list

    Start from a Clay export or pull contacts straight from your 30 connected read+write integrations. dolv is not a data provider — it picks up where enrichment ends.

  2. 02

    Compose, grounded

    The command center drafts email and LinkedIn outreach grounded in your company, playbooks and knowledge — so every message reads like your team wrote it, not a template.

  3. 03

    Approve, then ship

    Each external send waits in the approval inbox. You approve in one click and the real Gmail, Outlook or LinkedIn call runs — prepare → approve → executing → done.

  4. 04

    Measure what it drove

    Unified funnel intelligence, five attribution models and the correlation engine tie the outreach back to pipeline against your North Star and OKRs.

FAQ

Clay alternative, answered

What dolv does, where it stops, and how approvals, grounding and measurement work.

Can dolv replace Clay entirely?

Only the execution and measurement side. dolv composes, prepares and measures outreach across your stack — but it is not a data provider, so it does not replace Clay’s enrichment and list-building.

Does dolv connect to LinkedIn and Gmail?

Yes. LinkedIn and Gmail are among 30 real read+write integrations, so the AI can prepare outreach through the tools you already use and run the real call once you approve it.

How does dolv keep outreach on-brand?

Every draft is grounded in your company context, playbooks and knowledge by default, so outreach reads like your team wrote it — not a generic template.

Is there approval before anything sends?

Yes. The human-in-the-loop inbox holds every external send — prepare → approve → executing → done — so you decide what actually goes out.

How does dolv measure outreach?

A unified TOFU/MOFU/BOFU funnel on a rolling 30-day baseline, a weighted health score, five attribution models and a correlation engine tie each touch to the pipeline it actually moved.
