What happened
Clay uses Dust as a Slack-based agent that gives its GTM engineering team a self-service knowledge hub, drawing on the sales center, internal docs and Slack conversations to answer onboarding and sales enablement questions. It is also used for tasks such as writing job descriptions, reviewing legal documents and accelerating content creation.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Dust and Clay, not ours.
- 100%“which has achieved a 100% adoption rate within the GTME team”
- 24 hours“Caren had a working agent set up in just 24 hours”
- 30 seconds“had a list of 100 companies within 30 seconds”
By incorporating Dust into their onboarding and enablement process, the GTME sales team of 20 currently saves around 58 hours each month—more than a full work week reclaimed for higher-value activities.
Dust is the most impactful software we've adopted since building Clay.
Dust democratizes information access, so it's no longer about who joined the company the earliest or who sits closest to the Head of Sales or who has the better onboarding buddy. Now there's just a single source of truth for everyone to point to.
It’s not just about retrieving information from one place. Our sales team needs information that’s often scattered across multiple internal applications. Dust brings it all together.
Last month, we noticed there were a lot of questions around pricing, so we're now doing more intensive pricing enablement and documentation. The questions people ask Dust directly inform our strategy.
For fast-growing startups, Dust is the way to scale knowledge
This singular channel is where people ask every sales enablement question—from procurement and pricing to product capabilities to process guidance. It's become our central knowledge hub
I was trying to move really quickly because we had a bunch of new hires starting, and everything I was looking for, it seemed like Dust had.
One of the reasons why working at Clay is amazing is because if you're excited about something and can prove it out, you have the freedom to pursue it.
Stale links are a big issue on sales teams, especially as they get bigger, so having a single source of truth is crucial.
The sales center doesn't cover everything because the product is evolving so quickly. So Dust will also pull from Slack conversations and other docs that might not yet have an official stamp of approval.
