Clay
Clay skips the empty dashboard. Signup answers route new users straight into a live workbook where its Sculptor AI assistant has already suggested searches based on the user's company website, then it suggests an enrichment and pays out credits when the user runs it.
Notes
- Signup collects workspace name, team type, CRM, tools and attribution via click-to-select tiles; the last question, 'How would you like to get started?', offers Find and enrich people/accounts, Generate Pre-Meeting Notes, AI Outbound Messaging and Automate Account Research (Supademo teardown).
- The workbook opens with 'I'm Sculptor, your AI assistant for Clay' and three 'Suggested searches for supademo.com based on your business context' (e.g. 'Customer Success Managers at SaaS firms'), with a link showing what context was used.
- After the first search, Clay highlights a suggested enrichment column ('Work Email', ~2.9 credits/row, 'Save and run 10 rows').
- Approving it triggers 'You've earned 100 credits for creating your first waterfall!'; the teardown notes the reward is real because every action in Clay costs credits.
- The teardown defines activation as completing the first enrichment run on a live prospect table.
