Understanding AI Filters vs. Company Attribute Filters in Searches

·

Hi, in the field of finding companies field what's the difference between AI filters and company attribute filters, When using the “Search with AI” option, does it actually search the internet with the prompt provided, or is it similar to the company attribute filter—in other words, does it only assist with writing the query/prompt instead of filters and lookup clays database with related records ?

AI filters vs Company attribute filters: AI filters provide advanced refinement capabilities like inclusion/exclusion of sub-industries, identifying specific revenue streams (professional services, subscriptions, etc.), and defining business models (B2B, B2C, nonprofit). "Search with AI" functionality: When using "Search with AI," it doesn't search the internet. Instead, it uses AI to auto-generate initial filters for searching our database. The AI analyzes your company's domain to determine who you likely sell to, what size companies you serve, and which industries resonate with your solution, then creates a list from our existing database. This feature costs no credits because we're only using AI to generate the search filters, not perform internet searches. For actual internet research, you'd use Claygent, which goes out to the web and pulls real-time information.
