A prompt to build your own version of Clay

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Clay-style app, first version

Build a web app for me to research sales leads and fill gaps in lead lists. The main screen should show a clean, editable table with names, companies, websites, job titles and research status. Let me import a CSV, match its columns and export the updated table. Add an Enrich button for each row that fills missing company details from a simulated data provider. Clicking a lead should open a side panel with an AI research summary and clickable source links. Use realistic sample leads and clearly label simulated results. Keep the design simple, with a white background, muted gray borders and blue action buttons.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Clay won't have

Clay brings many commercial data providers into one account with negotiated prices, so users do not have to arrange and maintain each provider relationship themselves.

  • Clay's data provider agreements
  • Negotiated data volume discounts
  • Clay's integration maintenance team

Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.

How much does it cost to build your own version of Clay?
