• AI-Powered Cleanup: Discover how I use ChatGPT inside Clay to clean company names, qualify leads, and structure data.

• Ready for Octave: Prepping your data for Octave? We show you how to set up a scalable and clean table so Octave can do its magic later.

📈 If you’re scaling outbound, you need this workflow in your stack.
