Bug Report: Sculptor Recommends Incorrect Column Design

I found a bug in Sculptor. I'm currently doing an assignment for the clay team, and I found that Sculptor is recommending to create a column, but the column that it's recommending is completely different from what I intend to do 🧵:

I can see Sculptor is suggesting a "Mobile Phone Number" column when you're working on company domain extraction. This looks like a mismatch between your context and Sculptor's recommendation. [1]
Sculptor reads your table metadata and visible data to provide context-aware assistance, but sometimes the suggestions can be off. [2] The warning message you see is actually built into the interface - "Sculptor can make mistakes. Always test on a few rows before running an entire column." [3]
Try being more specific in your chat with Sculptor about what you want - mention that you need a formula column for company domain extraction, not phone numbers. You can iterate directly in the chat to adjust the recommendation. [4]
If Sculptor continues suggesting irrelevant columns, let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.

Is that what you were looking for?

In this case, I'm trying to optimize a column that is outputting some results from a waterfall. Essentially, it is recommending a mobile number, and there is no carousel to go through different options to update the domain column that I've built.

For optimizing your waterfall column, try using the Formula generator instead of relying on Sculptor's suggestions. [1]
Add a new Formula column and enter specific instructions like "Extract the domain from {{your_waterfall_column}}" in the AI Formula Generator. [2] Type "/" to reference your existing waterfall column, then click Generate Formula. [3]
This gives you direct control over the domain extraction logic rather than depending on Sculptor's potentially mismatched recommendations. [4]

Got it. For your waterfall column optimization issue, try this approach:
Click on your existing waterfall column header, then select "Insert right" to add a new column. [1] In the column creation dropdown, choose "Formula" and create a domain extraction formula that references your waterfall results.
If your waterfall has missing or invalid company domains causing issues, check for blank entries and add valid website URLs where needed. You can also update the input fields through your column settings to ensure the correct domain column is selected.
Since Sculptor isn't giving you the right suggestions, I'd recommend trying our built-in AI tool Sculptor in the top-right corner to help build this optimization. Let me know if Sculptor helps or if you need more specific guidance on the formula approach.
