@chibuzorobilom Sorry to hear that – we'll get this figured out for you. Can you please email care@clay.earth? That's the quickest way for our engineers to fix the issue.

I don’t say this lightly — Clay is the bedrock of my life, more important to me than email and text messages. And, grateful for the artisans of craft that have carefully designed every imaginable nook and cranny of this product. Brings me so much joy to use. Every day! All day. Big day today! Excited.

Perry Hewitt
"Made with love" is overused -- but no exaggeration when it comes to the energy and commitment of the founding team here. Clay is my operating system for maintaining relationships in a way that's both authentic and uncomplicated -- and addresses a real need in the market. Kudos to all involved.
Wesley Braden
@perryhewitt I just read this comment aloud to our team, Perry. Thank you for all your support since the very early days :) We're so thankful for your kind words on the effort and design that went into Clay.
Zach Hamed
@perryhewitt Thank you SO much as always Perry — we wouldn't be here withour your support and advice 🙏🏽
Matthew Achariam
@perryhewitt So incredibly kind!! Perry your support has been a shining light, thank you 🙏

I keep getting errors when I attempt to sign in and sign up with Google:
Zach Hamed
@chrismessina Hi Chris! Did you have an existing Clay account? We just rolled out Sign in with Google so if you had an account via Sign in with Apple, you'll need to sign in with that first and then connect your Google account in Settings. Otherwise you reach out to us at care@clay.earth and we'll get that sorted!

@zmh hmmm! I did have a previous account — but it should have been associated with my gmail! Will try to sign in with Apple...!

Congrats on the launch, @zmh and @achariam! :) I got access to an early beta of Clay in 2020 - and it has been on my homescreen ever since. It's the source of truth for all my contacts and relationships. Highly recommended!
Matthew Achariam
@zmh @lehrjulian Julian your early feedback and support was absolutely vital! Thank you so very much 😊
Zach Hamed
@achariam @lehrjulian thank you for all your support :)

Early user and big fan of this product for awhile. @achariam is a brilliant technologist who embodies the craft of building intentional product.
Matthew Achariam
@kunaltandon No, you're brilliant and amazing! Thank you so much Kunal, I appreciate you so much.

I like the product - was waiting for something like this. but I wish more effort was spent on the core ux - working with my contacts data ; just importing them doesn’t cut it. I need to refine, correct, manage, merge, edit, organize it, etc. It’s still buggy and slow and inconvenient. The “stay in touch” and “social tricks” all come as a 2-3 priority. Think about it- i don’t need another social network , but if you manage to be my one go to place for my contacts , you lock me in for good. Something Facebook and phonebook failed to do.
Peter Green
BTW this is what the email inviting me to Clay (although i'm already a user :shrug:) says: "Use Clay to: - Find your next job or opportunity by leveraging your whole network in one place - Stop doom scrolling and focus only on news and updates from people you care about - Never forget a birthday again with powerful Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin integrations" Which makes me think the value props that Clay sets for itself are different from what it could be actually useful for.. Or it's an attempt to add a marketing wrapper over an obvious problem that "people don't realize they have". I think they do. I think we do.
Peter Green
remember connect.com ? please don't fall into their mistakes. I was trying to help them, too. I can connect you with them if interested, btw :)
Zach Hamed
@petergreeny Thanks Peter! 100% — we do lots of merging and editing behind the scenes, but we're building out much better tools for Clay members to edit and organize more seamlessly. It's a big focus for the coming weeks, so will keep you updated as we get those out.
Zach Hamed
@petergreeny Amazing — will shoot you an email now! Would love to chat 🙌🏽
Jonathan
I was a beta user to Clay, and it is a quintessential part of my own life stack at this point. HUGE congrats on the launch and can't wait to see how this continues to develop.
Matthew Achariam
@jon__jackson We're so happy you've made Clay a part of your stack! We'll work hard to keep delivering :)
Wesley Braden
@jon__jackson Thank you for the kind words! So glad we're part of your daily rhythm!
Zach Hamed

Congratulation on the launch. I hope everyone realises that this has been many years in the making. This launch just represents a milestone of a product that can rival the very best in product design and craft of execution.
Zach Hamed
@owenmcfadzen thank you so much for your kind words – and for all your support and feedback along the way!
Danielle Lovell
Been using Clay since January 2021, and it's a real super power tool. It helps me stay in touch with friends, friendlies and work contacts in a way that often leaves folks going 'but how did you know that?' 'how do you keep on top of that?'
Wesley Braden
@daniellemlovell Wow, thank you for your kind words, Danielle. That's exactly the kind of magic we try to facilitate :) We appreciate your support!
Nick Kim
This product rocks. I spend a lot of time building relationships, and this has become a daily use product for me.
Matthew Achariam
@nickbkim Woah Nick! We're so happy to hear that, thank you. Let us know if we can ever help with anything.
Kwame Som-Pimpong
I love what Clay is building and I'm anxiously waiting for the Android version to come out!
Wesley Braden
@kwamesompimpong Thank you, Kwame! Hoping we can get you an Android app sooner rather than later :)
Zach Hamed
@kwamesompimpong You've been such an amazing champion for us since the early days! Appreciate it as always 🙌🏽
Keegan J. Sard
It’s a game-changer for consultants who have many relationships across multiple client emails. Keeping track of connections is what Clay does best. Highly recommend!
Wesley Braden
@keegansard Thanks for the support, Keegan! We certainly appreciate our members who are consultants, and we are investigating building new features to help them!
Jared Tame
I've been using Clay for the past 1-2 weeks. Beuatiful UX/UI, thoughtful workflows. Love using the app!

Zach Hamed
Hi Product Hunt! I'm one of the co-founders of Clay, and I'm super excited to share what we've been working on. A couple years ago, @achariam and I came to a realization: despite how important building and maintaining relationships is to our personal and professional success, it's extremely difficult to do well. Our relationships are fragmented across so many places: iMessage, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, email, calendar – the list goes on! We never found a tool that worked quite right to help us be more thoughtful with our most important relationships. After trying to cobble together partial solutions in Notion, Airtable, Apple Notes, and Evernote, we decided to build Clay from the ground up to solve this exact problem. We knew it had to be beautiful, private, and carefully crafted to respect the human element of relationships. We also knew that it had to work for all kinds of relationships, across many types of professions and lifestyles. And so we did over 1000 customer interviews to get to the heart of how people express care and show up for the people in their lives. Clay is the culmination of all this research, design, and effort. We've taken the best elements from social networks, contacts apps, and CRMs to build the most beautiful way to manage your relationships in one place. Once your entire network is in Clay, you can seamlessly: ✅ Get a customized pre-meeting brief of all the people you're meeting with today 📝 Take smart notes on your conversations and link related people together 🔔 Set reminders to reach back out to someone 🧠 Be prompted to reconnect with people with Clay's Reconnect AI 🔍 Search your entire network in plain English 📰 Stop doom scrolling social media and get can't-miss updates on news, job, and location updates 💼 Find your next job or opportunity by leveraging your whole network in one place 🎉 Never forget a birthday again 🔥 And much more... And we're just getting started! We're big fans of the Product hunt community, thank you for your support — we think you're going to love Clay 🙌🏽

@achariam @zmh A friend of mine told me about Clay literally just a few hours ago but I couldn't find it then. And now here it is!
