Yesterday's AI GTM Workshop at Clay wasn't what I expected

It was BETTER - here are some insights I gathered from teaching:

1. Improvisation - the wifi went down for 45 min before we started. Normally, people might panic in this situation BUT this created an opportunity for us to openly talk about what each person THOUGHT they wanted to build during the workshop. HOWEVER, their ideas transformed as we asked more questions. This is a beautiful result of being curious, empathetic, and inquisitive. 

2. Every artist has a medium. We deeply believe this at Clay. So, we brought in a sketch artist (Saki- she's amazing!) to recreate each student's favorite photos and bring THEM into her artistic process. The result? People were beaming with joy when they say the finished art. Every artist has a medium. Saki has sketching. Now they (the students) have Clay.

3. Beginners prefer to be GIVEN 1-2 workflows to build. This is contrary to Intermediates who already know what they want to build but just need a little gut check before starting. Next time, we'll let beginners choose from a set of pre-determined usecases (ex: inbound, outbound, crm, etc...)

4. Don't let students "chase the rabbit". Clay is powerful, but with great power comes great responsibility. Just because you CAN do (almost) anything doesn't mean you should - especially given time constraints. During open build, it makes sense to checkin with students every 10 min to ensure they're not going down rabbit holes and coming back empty-handed.

This is only the beginning.

AI GTM Workshops are coming back to SF and NYC next month (in Feb).

Thank you to EVERYBODY that came to learn, build, & create art (literally!) 🎨🖌️

Things in 2025 I'm taking into 2026. 

🎵Music I fell in love with in 2025
1. Buena Vista Social Club
2. Bad Bunny salsa 
3. Hamilton 
4. In the Heights


📦 Products I felt were worth the buy
1. Espresso Machine + Coffee Grinder (making coffee is relaxing)
2. Piano (trying to learn 1 song this year)
3. Longboard Surfboard (9.6ft rides smooooth in Malibu)
4. Salsa private lessons (not a product, but worth every $1)
5. Tennis lessons (same thing)
6. Truck - less mess when surfing
8. Physical books (tactile things bring me joy)
9. Whiteboard 
10. Pocket notebooks (i found ones that I enjoy carrying and using to write ideas)
11. Big A$$ calendar by Jesse Itzler
12. Nintendo Switch (I flew a lot this year and it was nostalgic to play Pokemon!)


🧰 Tools I really adopted this year
1. Clay (crazy to reflect on my journey)
2. Wispr Flow (feels like magic!)
3. Claude (reusing projects for convos around life)
4. Lovable (vibe-coded quite a few apps at work and personal)
5. Raycast AI (leveling up my productivity when I use a computer)
6. HotKey (doubling down on using keyboard shortcuts)
7. beehiiv (powers my newsletter)
8. Riverside (started filming B2B interviews with GTM leaders)


📕Best Books I got a lot out of
1. Navalmanack (reread it again)
2. Feel Good Productivity 
3. The Inner Game of Tennis
4. Poison at Breakfast
5. All about Love
6. Barbarian Days
7. Storyworthy


🎰Bets I would take again
1. Invest in community (spent thousands to travel with my core group and created mems)
2. Launch a newsletter (2k, so much to do here)
3. Build in public, permissionlessley 
4. Creating a video series - filming V4V changed my life
5. Work at Clay (I got no's for 5 months, but eventually, it all worked out)
6. Be a friend to have friends (always show up for my friends)


🧠Habits I'll continue
1. Going for a walk first thing in the morning (feel happier)
2. Making a slow coffee in the morning 60-90 min after waking up (no crash)
3. no coffee after 1pm (sleep is terrible)
3. Reading before bed instead of Netflix (i feel more rested)
4. Weekly therapy sessions
5. Working out (Weightlifting 4x, Pilates 1-2x, Tennis 1-2x, Salsa 2x)
6. Use the Big Ass Calendar (it forced me to proactively plan a year of adventure)
7. Contrast Therapy (dry sauna with friends feels amazing for my body and soul)
8. Matcha Mornings with core group to just hang and chat once per week
9. Weekend Hikes (walking in nature feels so good)
10. Going for mid-day walks to change up my location (feels more creative and days are less blurred)

This year's themes for me are creating, thriving, and exploring. Last year was focused on community and expansiveness. Last year, I fractured my L1 vertabrae after getting violently thrown off a horse - was bedridden for 3 months. I'm motivated to feel strong, athletic, and explosive again. Bright side - 7 solo skydive jumps!

✏️ Tell me your best products, habits, music so my 2026 list is even better

I'm finally seeing what tools are reshaping top GTM teams.

I used to binge 🦾Eric Nowoslawski YouTube videos. Now I'm watching these plays unfold in real-time at Growth Engine X . 

Here are 3 tools reshaping how we operate:

1) Supabase → Our central database for everything

We're storing verified emails, catch-all emails, and lists of contacts who replied with spam triggers or curse words.

No more scattered data. Everything's in one place.

2) Cursor → Our team won't open large files ever again

Been seeing Brandon Charleson content about Cursor too, might as well try Claude Code.

Filtered massive CSV files without ever opening them. Never wrestling with huge spreadsheets again.

3) OpenRouter, Inc → Access to multiple models and cheaper AI at scale
Company scoring, content generation, and analysis - all running through Open Router.

Better insights. Way lower costs.

And of course, the foundation!

4) Clay → keeps on delivering:

• Sculptor - Your GTM copilot that builds workflows and analyzes insights instantly in natural language

• Audiences - Combine CRM, signals, and enrichment to track the entire buyer journey and act on intent

• Sequencer - Run AI-personalized outbound campaigns at scale with built-in deliverability

• Claygent Connectors - Connect Claygent to Salesforce, Gong, Google Docs, and more for better context

• Claygent Builder - Build and deploy Claygents across your workspace and workflows

Visit 🦾Eric Nowoslawski profile for a detailed breakdown of how GEX team is using these 4 tools.

PS. Theory is everywhere. Execution is rare. This is what it actually looks like.

4 tools at GEX

so I've been learning Cursor and Claude Code

just built my first partially working app using Cursor + Claude Code (Opus 4.5)

honestly i don't have to worry about our own OS, cause our boss is The OG Outbound Goat and he already built a complex version of this 🦾

but thinking of building my own app to track my expenses/savings, or a way to gamify content, tasks, productivity

honestly? the barrier to entry for building tools is basically gone now

been thinking about how this changes the agency game:
1️⃣ what happens when productized services become accessible to everyone?
2️⃣ how does this change the path of clay agencies?
3️⃣ for companies not needing complex AI personalization, tools like this might be enough

not doom posting. genuinely curious how the market adjusts.

for now: if you're in a non-technical role, try Cursor or Claude Code with your own use case.

pick one workflow you hate doing manually and see what you can build.
