Best Practices for Using Claygents: Agent Choices & Output Strategies

Avatar of BenBen

Are there any best practices for using claygents? I’m plowing through loads of money and outputs are hard to use for my emails? Questions:

  1. 1.

    Is it better to use the agent to search google, or visit a website?

  2. 2.

    I’m trying to capture company mission, and price points from a pricing page.

  1. a.

    Should this be 1 claygent (visit website, capture mission, and find pricing)

  2. b.

    2 columns (capture mission + visit pricing page)

  3. c.

    3 columns (Visit website capture mission, find pricing page, capture price range of products)

    Hey Ben, what we try to do internally is the following:

    • Take a base list of a couple hundred companies and start off with your initial Clay gent prompt.

    • Put the intiial parameters by reverse engineering what you would be looking at if you would do the research alone.

    • Then run that Clay gent.

    • Overview the results to see how many false negatives you have (results that you don't like)

    • And based on the most common results of false negatives adjust the prompt and try on another list and see if the results improved.

    The more you ask of the Claygent typically the more it will cost, but you can set max cost as well.
