What is Clay?
Clay is turning credit spend from something you watch into something you can cap.
Clay's weekly roundups run two streams at once: Claygent capability — Skills, open-weight models, Snowflake text-to-SQL — and the commercial plumbing around credits. The August 17 week adds Credit Budgets, which moves credit governance past dashboards and alerts into allocations an admin sets in advance. Function testing before a run targets the same waste from the other end.
What is MySignature?
MySignature turned its digital business card into a lead-capture surface, then instrumented it.
MySignature started as an email signature designer and has spent the last year building out a second product around digital business cards. August was the month that surface stopped being a way to hand over contact details and became a way to collect them: a Collect Contacts form block, a Contacts list behind it, and analytics on views, clicks, QR scans and traffic sources. The signature editor keeps advancing separately, with reply and forward variants the newest addition.

Clay
7.5MARKETING
Clay is turning credit spend from something you watch into something you can cap.
◆ Current state
Clay's weekly roundups run two streams at once: Claygent capability — Skills, open-weight models, Snowflake text-to-SQL — and the commercial plumbing around credits. The August 17 week adds Credit Budgets, which moves credit governance past dashboards and alerts into allocations an admin sets in advance. Function testing before a run targets the same waste from the other end.
◆ Where it's heading
The credit work has run for two straight months: time-series graphs, spike alerts, CPJ allowance counters, faster reporting, and now budgets. Read as one line, it is Clay building what a buyer needs before approving spend on an agent priced per run. The capability stream keeps pushing Claygent outward — Skills, cheaper models, Ads 2.0 into paid media — while the credit stream makes that consumption predictable enough to sell into larger organisations.
◆ Prediction
Budgets set at the workspace level point to per-team or per-table allocations next, with enforcement rather than alerting as the default.

6.3MARKETING
MySignature turned its digital business card into a lead-capture surface, then instrumented it.
◆ Current state
MySignature started as an email signature designer and has spent the last year building out a second product around digital business cards. August was the month that surface stopped being a way to hand over contact details and became a way to collect them: a Collect Contacts form block, a Contacts list behind it, and analytics on views, clicks, QR scans and traffic sources. The signature editor keeps advancing separately, with reply and forward variants the newest addition.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is from presentation to acquisition. Design tooling — drag mode, AI layout suggestions, banner campaigns — made signatures look better; the card work makes them measurable and makes them capture. That is a different business: a signature is a design asset, a card that collects and reports on leads is a small marketing channel, and the Contacts list is the first place MySignature holds customer data of its own.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Contacts list to grow the obvious next pieces — export, tagging, and a route into the CRMs and marketing tools its Teams customers already run.
