Sculptor

AI deduplication tool inside Clay. You give it messy data (company names with typos, multiple formats, edge cases) and it groups duplicates intelligently without you writing complex formulas.

Most deduplication is basic: exact match on email or domain. But what if the same company appears as "Microsoft," "Microsoft Corporation," and "MSFT"? Formula-based dedupe misses it. Sculptor catches it. It's AI-powered fuzzy matching without manual rules.

I use Sculptor for enterprise dedupe (Play 15). When I'm enriching a big list and multiple contacts come from the same parent company, I use Sculptor to group them by company, then dedupe within each subset. It's also useful for cleaning messy imports where the same lead appears 3 times with slight name variations. Sculptor groups them. I keep the best record.
