Is it possible to pull a list of companies by inputting a prompt?
Yes! You can pull company lists using natural language prompts in Clay. [1]
Go to "Add Table" > select "Find Companies with Natural Language" and type your search criteria in conversational terms like "B2B SaaS crypto companies in SF."
There's also "Find AI" where you can choose "Find Companies" and enter queries like "Venture funds utilizing students to invest in on-campus startups at American universities." [2]
Within the regular "Find companies" flow, you can select "Search with AI" and choose "Describe from products and services" to add a company description and run the search.

If you're seeing persistent errors, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page first.
At the bottom right it says "Sorry, something went wrong... Please try again or message our support team if the problem persists" This was the third time
Since you're getting this error repeatedly, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page first. If that doesn't work, try logging out of Clay and logging back in to refresh your session.
Before we dig deeper, I'd recommend trying Sculptor (the AI tool in the top-right corner) to help set up your company search - it might handle this more smoothly.
If the error persists after these steps, click into the specific cell where you're seeing the error to get more detailed error information, then share those details with me.
Did that help resolve the error for you?
If you still need help resolving the error or using Sculptor for your company search, I’m here to assist. Would you like to provide more details about what you’re trying to achieve or the error you’re encountering?
I tried using sculptor, but it didn't work. I logged out and logged in, still didn't work. Cleared my cache, still didn't work
Since you've tried the standard troubleshooting steps, let's get more specific details about the error. Click into the exact cell where you're seeing the "Sorry, something went wrong" message to get more detailed error information.
Can you share:
The specific error details from clicking into that cell
A link to the table where this is happening
What type of company search you're trying to run
This will help pinpoint what's causing the issue so we can get it resolved.
Did that help clarify what to do next?
Its not a message i'm getting in a specific cell, but for the entire table. The table is empty, and I'm trying to add companies using the prompt
Since you're getting table-wide errors when adding companies with prompts, this sounds like a bug that needs investigation.
Can you share a link to the table where this is happening? That'll help pinpoint what's causing the issue.
Also, try using Sculptor (the AI tool in the top-right corner) to set up your company search - it might handle this more smoothly than the regular prompt method. [1]
