Opportunities
Opportunity is deliberately broad in Clay. The platform does not narrow itself to one category of opportunity — it can route toward any of the following.On this page
- The full opportunity taxonomy
- How Clay explains an opportunity
- The narrower mobile lanes on the first iOS capture

Taxonomy
People
Individual collaborators, mentors, advisors, or co-founders.
Teams
Existing teams with an open seat for someone like you.
Projects
Side projects, open-source efforts, or research collaborations worth joining.
Jobs
Roles where the intention and personality fit the team’s needs.
Events
Meetups, conferences, residencies, or gatherings worth attending.
Communities
Long-running groups whose culture fits the personality.
Collaborators
One-to-one working relationships that fit both sides’ rhythms.
Partner experiences
Programs, residencies, accelerators, or partner-led opportunities.
Opportunity explanation
When Clay presents an opportunity, the user-facing explanation should name:- Why the opportunity relates to the intention.
- Which personality or context signals matter for review.
- What the user should know before engaging.
Clay prefers action over chat. When the user approves the context and consent is granted, Clay
can route, introduce, draft, or coordinate on the user’s behalf. Selection mechanics are out of
scope for this page.
Mobile lane
The first mobile flow starts with four lanes:Collaborator, Project, Community, and Role. Those lanes are intentionally narrower than the full taxonomy so the capture screen stays fast while the broader opportunity model remains available to backend and recommendation flows.
