What is Clay?
Clay lets teams publish workflows as templates and adds healthcare data.
Clay is a go-to-market data platform that combines enrichment, audiences, ads and outbound sequencing. Late October brought Claygent Auto-mode, which picks a model per row for cost, plus MCP client allowlists and per-workflow credit caps. The week of November 2 added Workflow Templates that anyone can copy, a Definitive Healthcare integration, Salesforce traffic through a customer's own proxy, and tags for Audiences segments.
What is Swipe Pages?
A landing page builder that turned itself into an agent surface, then started charging for it.
Swipe Pages has spent 2026 converting a conventional landing page builder into an agent-driven one. The AI Agents launch in December 2025 established chat-based page generation; every release since has hardened it — Code Mode with model selection and block locking, AI image generation in-builder, tracking codes and Events API integrations carried over from the classic product. As of July, AI pages have reached feature parity with the hand-built ones on the things that matter commercially: A/B testing, personalization, and cross-subaccount portability.

Clay
5.0MARKETING
Clay lets teams publish workflows as templates and adds healthcare data.
◆ Current state
Clay is a go-to-market data platform that combines enrichment, audiences, ads and outbound sequencing. Late October brought Claygent Auto-mode, which picks a model per row for cost, plus MCP client allowlists and per-workflow credit caps. The week of November 2 added Workflow Templates that anyone can copy, a Definitive Healthcare integration, Salesforce traffic through a customer's own proxy, and tags for Audiences segments.
◆ Where it's heading
Clay ships a weekly roundup that alternates between widening its data sources and adding the admin controls larger customers ask for. Workflows have become its main unit, now with budgets, triggers from signals and, with templates, a way to share them between workspaces.
◆ Prediction
Expect templates to grow into a shared gallery and more vertical data providers like Definitive Healthcare to follow.
Swipe Pages
0.0MARKETING
A landing page builder that turned itself into an agent surface, then started charging for it.
◆ Current state
Swipe Pages has spent 2026 converting a conventional landing page builder into an agent-driven one. The AI Agents launch in December 2025 established chat-based page generation; every release since has hardened it — Code Mode with model selection and block locking, AI image generation in-builder, tracking codes and Events API integrations carried over from the classic product. As of July, AI pages have reached feature parity with the hand-built ones on the things that matter commercially: A/B testing, personalization, and cross-subaccount portability.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs are converging. The first is distribution: Swipe Genie became addressable from outside the product via MCP in April, first on request, then GA across all plans in July — the builder is now something an external agent drives, not just a UI a marketer opens. The second is monetization: AI credits landed on every plan in May as a purchasable, non-expiring unit, which turns generation volume into revenue rather than cost. Bug-fix releases in between are dominated by agent-session plumbing — transcripts, thought signatures, invitee access — the maintenance profile of a product whose core loop is now a conversation.
◆ Prediction
Expect the credit system to gain the usual second-order machinery — per-subaccount allocation and usage reporting — since subaccount timezone and analytics work is already landing. The MCP surface reaching GA on all plans without a matching pricing line suggests agent-driven publishing is next to be metered.
