>> Hello, everyone, and welcome to Go to Market AI,
0:08
the future of your Go to Market tech stack.
0:10
I'm your host, Sarah McConnell.
0:12
These days, it seems like every company has AI,
0:14
but on this show, we want to go a level deeper and show you
0:17
first-hand how businesses are actually applying AI to solve your business
0:21
challenges.
0:22
We're going deep into the use cases and showing you live demos of
0:25
the latest and greatest in AI technology.
0:28
Today, I'm joined by Matt Sorenson, CEO at Clearbit.
0:31
Matt, welcome. Thank you so much for joining us.
0:34
>> Yeah, thanks, Sarah. I'm very happy to be here.
0:36
>> Okay. Tell us a little bit about Clearbit.
0:39
Who are you guys? Who are you helping?
0:42
What do you guys do in the market?
0:44
>> Yeah, absolutely. Clearbit is a B2B data company,
0:48
meaning we create datasets that are useful for B2B teams,
0:51
specifically marketing teams, sales teams, sales ops,
0:54
that's really the center of our bullseye.
0:58
We create, curate, and maintain datasets
1:02
that basically every company in the world that has a website,
1:05
keep buyers at those companies,
1:07
and then a bunch of different intent signals.
1:09
Help you identify where accounts are ready to buy,
1:11
what high-quality ICP accounts are signing up,
1:15
and basically trying to help you to be companies,
1:17
find the signal in the noise that is
1:19
our massive market that we all play at.
1:21
>> Yeah, and I know at Qualified,
1:23
we are happy Clearbit customers.
1:24
I know we use it in our own product,
1:26
and we find a lot of value in it,
1:27
and you guys helping us sort of unveil
1:29
and understand accounts and who they are and where they're at.
1:31
So I'm excited to get to the demo,
1:34
because I know we use parts of your product,
1:36
but not, I haven't seen some of your new AI functionality,
1:39
which is obviously the whole point of the show.
1:42
So Matt, with that being said,
1:43
I want to get to the good stuff,
1:44
and let's go behind the scenes in Clearbit,
1:46
and learn a little bit about your AI functionality
1:49
and what you guys are doing.
1:50
>> Yeah, absolutely.
1:52
So I think one, I'll take half a step back here,
1:55
and I'm actually relatively recently--
1:56
>> Back to Clearbit.
1:57
>> I'm one of the Clearbit founders,
1:59
and I came back just almost five months ago.
2:02
A few days shy of five months ago,
2:04
specifically to rebuild Clearbit,
2:07
you see LLM, Slarge Language Models.
2:09
LLMs are going to change a lot about
2:13
how would you business work,
2:15
this podcast exists because people have
2:17
so much curiosity about how AI is going to change our work,
2:21
but in the data space,
2:22
LLMs have the ability to change how we do things
2:26
like Berry-Verry.
2:27
They're really good at two things,
2:29
more than two things,
2:31
but two things specifically that impact us.
2:33
One is categorization, categorization.
2:36
So choosing between options,
2:38
and the other is extraction.
2:39
So pulling data attributes out of unstructured text,
2:42
audio, video, et cetera.
2:43
So I'll show you kind of what Clearbit is at its core,
2:49
and then how we're using AI to improve our core data set.
2:53
'Cause that's really where almost all of the AI
2:55
is being applied to our business and our products,
2:58
is on the data itself.
2:59
So here, basic Clearbit lookup,
3:03
let's just do me for sake.
3:05
It's a simple lookup here,
3:13
and we pull back information about me,
3:15
we do this for any email address,
3:17
any domain name, any IP address,
3:19
and a couple things here, so roll and seniority.
3:23
These are pulled out of titles,
3:26
and we're using AI and LLMs
3:28
to recognize all of the variations of roll and seniority
3:32
that you can pull from titles.
3:34
- Oh, that's cool.
3:35
Okay.
3:36
- And so can you question,
3:37
can you push this data into your systems
3:39
so leadership and executive,
3:41
all of this is usable data for your teams?
3:43
- Exactly, so it's basically just structured data
3:46
that pushes down into every single system, every tool.
3:48
And so this data exists in qualified,
3:50
for people that are using qualified,
3:51
it exists sales for a sub-spot wherever you want.
3:54
- I want this as someone who's had to build
3:56
in previous roles in ops,
3:58
the weird formulas of if title contains this and this and this,
4:02
then make their seniority or their role,
4:03
like sales or marketing.
4:05
So being able to use AI to do that is super helpful.
4:09
- Totally, and this is something we've done
4:11
for a long time using traditional machine learning.
4:14
Now with LLMs and specifically vector embeddings,
4:17
we're able to do this at like a scale
4:18
that we've never done before and in any language.
4:22
So previously, there's like a lot of writing,
4:25
rules and mapping rules and red jacks
4:27
to figure out what title equals leadership.
4:30
- Yeah.
4:31
- They, you have a much, much, much more robust version of that.
4:35
You do it in Japanese, you do it in Chinese,
4:36
you do it Arabic, you do it in English,
4:38
and it's pretty amazing, pretty amazing what we can do there.
4:42
- Yeah.
4:43
- So one example, another really good one here
4:45
is all of this stuff down here.
4:48
So basically everything below this line is categorization.
4:52
It is what industry, in any different type
4:55
of industry categorization.
4:56
So whether you use NAICS, whether you use SICK,
4:59
whether you GICS tags, we have over 1500 tags now
5:04
that are like hyper, hyper chosen
5:07
for what B2B companies carry the most about.
5:09
You have technologies, technology categories.
5:12
With LLMs, we can really just expand
5:16
the amount of categorization we do,
5:17
and we can translate it into any other categorization type.
5:22
So if you have a specific set of industries
5:24
that you really care about, this makes it easier and easier.
5:27
- It's a customized app for you.
5:28
- Again, I got it.
5:30
- Oh no, I just, I'm really, I think this is really interesting.
5:33
I think data cleanliness and data clarity
5:36
is just something I think that gets overlooked a lot.
5:38
My GoToMarket team's obviously not by like ops people
5:40
who are in it every single day,
5:42
but I think having this level of granularity
5:45
to Sigma and out audiences as a marketer,
5:46
that's my first thought is I'm like,
5:48
this is incredible because I don't just have
5:50
internet and software services,
5:51
I can go so much deeper and create so much better segments
5:54
for my advertising, for my sales team,
5:55
for my outreach that before took so much manual work
5:59
for my ops team to try to get me these segmentations.
6:02
So I love seeing this on the back end of Clearby
6:04
because this is something that I personally would find
6:06
so valuable for our team.
6:08
- Yeah, it really just expands the service area
6:11
of how much we can do and how customized we can get.
6:13
- Awesome.
6:15
- So this is the basics of what we do.
6:17
Like you kind of said earlier,
6:18
this gets pushed down everywhere.
6:19
So, in our world, this gets sent down
6:24
to Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot.
6:27
You use this data to shorten your forms,
6:29
to fire off sales alerts.
6:32
We use it in our segment and our CDP,
6:35
pulls in G2 data, like we basically,
6:38
if you can think of Clearby as like your data
6:41
data control center, where all your
6:44
beautiful data flows in,
6:45
enriched with hundreds of different data attributes
6:47
by Clearby and then pushed back down
6:49
into your engagement systems or your go-to-market systems.
6:52
- Very cool.
6:53
All right, well, I think in terms of places
6:58
that AI gets used the most, it is mostly in the data.
7:01
There's a couple things I want to show you
7:03
that are coming soon and depending on when this goes out,
7:06
they already be live.
7:09
So, we've built an all new prospecting data set
7:12
and prospecting UI that has kind of AI at its core.
7:17
And we're using AI in a handful of different ways here.
7:20
The biggest way that we're using AI
7:21
is to recommend the right prospects at companies.
7:26
So now we're recommending prospects,
7:29
not just based on your search criteria,
7:32
but also based on the data in your go-to-market systems.
7:35
So, your close one opportunities,
7:36
your lead active leads,
7:39
your target accounts that you may have set
7:41
in the system as well, or your target ICPs.
7:45
And we can recommend based on the website activity patterns
7:50
we're seeing, the CRM patterns we're seeing,
7:52
the buying power, potential new prospects,
7:56
all of this using LMs and some kind of standard
8:01
machine learning that doesn't even feel like AI anymore.
8:04
But to really create personalized and predictive prospecting
8:09
versus just role-senority and employee count.
8:13
- I feel like this would be so helpful
8:15
as like I imagine a new SDR or AE joining the team
8:18
and they have to build up their pipeline
8:20
and they're doing prospecting.
8:21
And I know using ourselves as an example,
8:24
like we have multiple personas that we can sell into
8:26
that are involved in our buying process.
8:29
So having AI and clear bit being able to ingest
8:33
all of the data that a new SDR might not know,
8:36
which is like who is the most common champion on our deals?
8:38
Like who is most likely to influence them?
8:40
Who's on our website the most frequently?
8:42
And recommending that to them would save them so much time
8:45
and like wasted effort because they're outbounded
8:46
to the wrong people or people who aren't buying
8:48
as they're learning and ramping.
8:50
So I have to imagine this helps any SDR and AE ramp time
8:53
to generating pipeline just so much faster.
8:56
- Yeah, and it's like a virtuous circle as well.
8:59
The idea here is the ops team gets to set.
9:03
This is our ICP, this is our target accounts.
9:04
This is who we're going after and that gets fed
9:06
to your plant reps, but also the contacts
9:10
and the prospects that they're choosing to outbound to
9:12
or create gets fed back into the system too of,
9:16
this is who the sales team wants to go after.
9:18
This is who we're watching the behavior
9:21
of our frontline folks.
9:22
I've been calling it in some ways,
9:24
it's like it's Tinder for the reps
9:27
and it's like the Netflix recommendation algorithm
9:30
for the ops team.
9:31
- I love that so much.
9:32
I feel like any of those B2C examples
9:33
are just really understandable.
9:35
And I really like that analogy.
9:37
I do think from a sales reps perspective,
9:41
I just think AI is really cool when it comes to taking out
9:43
variability of error, which I think you have here,
9:47
which is like as a rep, you have all this insight
9:49
and like who's actually responding and who's engaging,
9:51
but then there's all this data
9:52
and bringing those two together can be really, really difficult.
9:54
And once you have large teams,
9:56
there's so much variability in what they think
9:58
and who they think is the right fit.
10:00
Having AI help guide them and sort of create guardrails,
10:04
I think is just so beneficial
10:05
for generating high quality pipeline
10:07
that's actually gonna close into, close when we're having nail.
10:11
- Could not agree more.
10:12
And actually that's a really nice segue.
10:14
I'm gonna show you something
10:15
that we haven't really shown anyone yet.
10:17
It's an internal tool we're working on,
10:20
but it really does a lot of the same things
10:21
that clear what does for our customers,
10:23
which is taking unstructured, vast amounts of unstructured data
10:27
and turning it into structured useful data
10:29
for your go-to-market team.
10:30
- Awesome.
10:32
- So for you guys at Qualified,
10:35
when, what do you guys use for sales qualification?
10:37
You like MedPik or Bant or--
10:39
- I think it's MedPik.
10:40
And if my sales team is listening
10:42
and I said it wrong, I'm so sorry.
10:43
(laughs)
10:45
- And do all of your reps fill out every field
10:49
completely all the time in Salesforce?
10:51
- No, I can almost say that was certainty,
10:54
just any field in general and sales team, we love you.
10:57
What I know is that I know Salesforce Cleanliness
10:59
is not your cup of tea
11:00
or the places you like spending your time.
11:03
- Yeah, and no one does.
11:04
It's like in some way, there's a waste of time,
11:06
but for the ops team or the marketing team
11:08
or product marketing team,
11:10
that stuff becomes really, really valuable,
11:11
especially at scale.
11:13
So we've been building this little internal tool
11:16
that takes, I don't know if this drop down is shown,
11:19
I don't look like it,
11:20
but basically it takes one of our reps,
11:21
all of their different calls,
11:23
and then builds these.
11:25
So it takes the transcripts,
11:28
all these calls, the data from Clearbit
11:31
about the company and the people that are on those calls.
11:33
So what their rules titles are,
11:35
and then the data from Salesforce or HubSpot.
11:37
So you can build a perfect men pick answers,
11:42
so fill them out pretty completely
11:45
based on the output of all these different calls,
11:48
automatically write them down to your CRM,
11:50
Salesforce and R, in our case,
11:52
and build some really, really nice,
11:54
kind of like human readable summaries.
11:57
So what the customer cares about,
11:58
what we know, what they're looking for,
12:01
we've even been playing around with,
12:02
drafting that next email.
12:04
Are every one of our reps is using this now,
12:08
and are enterprise reps,
12:10
or those with the most complicated deals,
12:11
say it saves them somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes a day.
12:16
- I'm very jealous that your reps
12:17
are getting to use this,
12:18
because I know our entire ops team would love it
12:20
if our reps had something that would do their men,
12:23
build in more and better.
12:24
- Another pretty cool thing here
12:27
is because of the way this is built,
12:30
say you changed the qualification framework you were using,
12:34
or added a new field that you really cared about,
12:36
you could run this, run a backfill, basically,
12:39
which runs through everything you call,
12:41
everything you call transcript,
12:42
and pulls out those answers.
12:43
- That's awesome. - Super useful
12:44
for product marketing,
12:46
advertising copy, all that stuff.
12:49
- That's really cool.
12:51
- I think in terms of AI things,
12:54
that's most of what we can show you.
12:56
I'll give you one last little example here.
12:58
So, hey, hey, big Japanese company,
13:02
might be somewhat hard if someone signs up
13:05
with this domain name to basically understand
13:09
what they're doing.
13:10
And so, let's see how clear it does with this.
13:14
Go to look up, live demos are the best.
13:17
- I was going to say live demos are stressful,
13:19
which is why we warn people ahead of the show.
13:21
- You know, exactly.
13:23
So, I think about three ish months ago,
13:25
three, four months ago,
13:27
this would have come back with a Japanese description
13:31
and no categorization.
13:32
- Industry is an everything like that.
13:33
- Because we weren't able to basically translate that.
13:37
- Yeah.
13:38
- Let's give it a go.
13:39
All right, so it has written us a English description
13:44
based on the content of the site, other places.
13:48
We've been able to match it to industries and tags
13:51
and everything else that is kind of dependent
13:53
on us being able to translate there.
13:55
And this feels, might feel like a small thing.
13:58
Translation's been done.
14:00
This works for any website in any language in any country.
14:05
It has increased our international coverage by 10fold.
14:08
Still ticking up the way clear bit works
14:11
is kind of a live creature.
14:12
As people send us requests, we build these profiles
14:15
and this has had such a massive impact on our customers
14:18
and especially some of our larger like international ones.
14:22
That's one of the things I'm most excited about
14:23
that we shipped.
14:24
- I would say this is really cool.
14:25
I feel like especially for global sales teams,
14:27
this has to be so impactful.
14:29
And I think it just goes back to that like
14:30
on leanness of data and time saving
14:32
of not having to do that manually is,
14:35
this is really cool.
14:36
- Yeah, data drives good decisions.
14:40
And in order for that to work,
14:41
the data needs to be clean and standardized.
14:44
And especially, I'm sure you're running into this
14:46
to some extent in this series,
14:48
but all of these different AI tools,
14:51
whether they're co-pilots or chatbots,
14:53
they need consistent structured data
14:56
to have consistent answers.
14:57
And yeah, we're excited to provide that.
15:01
- I think that's, I'm really excited, Matt,
15:03
that you joined and thank you so much
15:04
for taking us through this
15:05
because I do think data cleanliness
15:06
is something that probably gets overlooked pretty frequently.
15:09
I think at least personally,
15:11
when I'm thinking about AI and we're thinking about
15:12
like generative AI and it can help you with all this
15:14
like writing and sending and...
15:16
But when we think about time saving or productivity,
15:19
I think data cleanliness is something
15:20
that doesn't get talked about enough.
15:22
And I know from my end on a go-to-market team,
15:25
bad data is just such a killer for good marketing campaigns
15:28
and effective sales and marketing alignment
15:30
because the data's not there
15:31
and you ask me to pull a report or build segmentation.
15:33
And if I don't have clean data,
15:35
that is just next to impossible to do.
15:38
So I think into this demo,
15:40
I hadn't really thought about AI
15:41
in the context of using it for data cleanliness
15:44
and the impact it can have on productivity or teams
15:46
and how they're pushing really consistent data
15:51
into their systems.
15:52
And I think this could be,
15:54
I see the power of this for any go-to-market team,
15:57
even our own, just thinking about
16:00
how we think about like segmentation and data.
16:02
- Yeah, I think generative AI is amazing
16:06
being able to quickly write and create campaigns,
16:09
emails, et cetera, is very, very cool.
16:11
However, the art of a really, really, really good email
16:15
or really good ad campaign,
16:17
we can get there faster with AI,
16:19
but AI doesn't necessarily solve it.
16:21
What I do think LLMs and well-designed LLM-based systems
16:25
can do is take out so much of the busy work
16:28
of filling out fields, like generating reports,
16:32
pressing send on internal tools and internal reports.
16:35
There's just so much efficiency gain that's possible there
16:39
and it's been really, really fun to work on.
16:41
- Absolutely, and that's why we wanted to do this show
16:43
is I think there are so many different types of AI
16:45
and how they can be used in our Canadian business.
16:48
So I'm glad that in the shows that we've done,
16:50
I think this is a new type of AI
16:51
that we haven't talked about as frequently.
16:52
So it's good, I think, to bring our viewers
16:54
and start to expand our knowledge base
16:57
of all the things that are out there.
16:58
So this was awesome.
17:00
With that being said, Matt,
17:02
is there anything else in the demo that you wanted to show?
17:03
Otherwise, we can move into our lightning round Q&A.
17:06
- I don't think there's too much to show
17:10
from the demo perspective.
17:12
I think for anyone that hasn't,
17:16
it was a current clear-but customer and hasn't yet,
17:19
which I know a lot of our audience is.
17:21
Come say hi, we'll refresh and reenrich your database
17:26
for you with all the new AI data.
17:27
If you haven't done that in a while,
17:29
then we can show you the difference.
17:32
- Awesome.
17:33
Okay, so moving into lightning round Q&A,
17:35
which is how we're gonna wrap this episode today, Matt.
17:37
I have a couple questions for you.
17:39
The first one is, how long have you been building AI
17:42
in the clear bit?
17:43
And I think you touched on this in the beginning
17:44
and I love that you're kind of like a boomerang story
17:46
that you were there in,
17:47
and then you came back and came back just to build this.
17:48
So I would love for you to expand on that.
17:52
- Yeah, I think we've been actively building
17:54
on top of LMs for about four and a half months, maybe five.
17:58
- And awesome.
17:59
And then everything that you just showed,
18:02
I know we already touched on this a little bit,
18:03
but I wanna clarify for viewers on the show,
18:05
what is generally available?
18:07
And it sounds like there's a few things
18:08
that are coming here in the near future.
18:10
- Everything you've seen except the kind of sales call
18:14
notes and summary is live or about to be live,
18:17
depending on when this goes out.
18:20
And all of the data improvements,
18:21
every time we improve the data,
18:22
that's just immediately going out to customers.
18:24
So we're constantly working on that.
18:26
- That's awesome.
18:27
And speaking of customers,
18:28
who are some of your current clear bit customers
18:30
that are benefiting from Clearbit AI?
18:32
- Yeah, so everyone, every single clear bit customer benefits
18:36
from the better data.
18:37
So we qualify as a great example.
18:40
We've got customers across the board.
18:42
We've got the stripes, the Atlassian, the Asanas of the world.
18:45
We've got some, the smaller startup folks as well.
18:50
We've been in this game, this data game for quite some time
18:52
and I feel very lucky with who our customer base is.
18:55
- Yeah, that's awesome.
18:56
You guys really do, I think span the gamut
18:57
of like customers you talked about.
18:59
Some of your AI benefits that you showed there at the end
19:01
that are gonna help these like really large global
19:03
enterprise type teams,
19:04
but then you also have customers down too.
19:06
I know we've been a clear bit customer since we were
19:08
a much, much smaller company.
19:09
So you guys really span, I think the whole customer base
19:12
and who can benefit because I don't know
19:14
who can benefit from clean data.
19:15
So that's awesome.
19:17
And then what is next on your AI roadmap?
19:20
What is your vision for AI at Clearbit?
19:23
- Yeah, I think I showed a bit of a teaser
19:26
with the prospecting data set
19:27
and doing this personalized prospecting kind of at scale.
19:31
I think that's one of the things we're most excited about
19:33
is the ability to build that system out.
19:37
So prospecting is going live,
19:39
kind of being relaunched right about now
19:42
and really excited to keep building on that,
19:45
out that East case functionality throughout the year.
19:49
The kind of deal intelligence that MedBIC
19:52
piece I just showed you that may be a product we launched,
19:54
we're not sure, the internal tool, we really love it.
19:57
Not positive, it'll make it to GA.
20:00
We have a lot of internal tools that we think about
20:02
turning into public products that never make it.
20:04
So we will see and...
20:07
All right, I'm gonna get really nerdy here.
20:11
- I love it.
20:12
- Vector embeddings are untapped and like unappreciated,
20:18
I think in the data world.
20:20
And they allow us to do categorization at a scale
20:26
and a efficiency scale that we just never
20:30
have been able to before.
20:32
So we're now able to build a custom tag
20:37
based on kind of anything you want.
20:39
So one really good example here is like the pains
20:42
that you solve.
20:43
So you can take all of your jobs to be done,
20:45
turn each one into a vector embedding
20:48
and we can run that across the entire B2B world
20:51
but people in companies and tag every company
20:54
and every person with a KNN like similarity score
20:58
to whatever that job to be done that you solve is.
21:02
And we can give you a prospect list
21:05
or a scoring attribute that is completely custom
21:08
to your business.
21:09
So you probably have a good answer for this as a marketer
21:13
but when you're thinking about your target accounts
21:16
and your ICP, give me the paragraph version up with it.
21:21
- Yeah, so we're going after high tech B2B companies
21:23
and they have to have Salesforce
21:25
and our sweet spot is anyone that has web traffic
21:30
over 10,000 a month.
21:32
- All right, so you just gave me the answer
21:34
of someone that's been really trained
21:35
into like attribute based--
21:37
- Yep.
21:39
- 13 scoring, tell me, talk to me like I'm a fifth grader
21:43
and describe or maybe not fifth grader.
21:45
Maybe I'm in high school
21:46
but describe what qualified does for it.
21:49
- Yeah, so we are helping companies in the B2B space
21:53
drive more pipeline from their website.
21:55
So the way I like to describe it too,
21:57
and I won't say a high schooler
21:58
but someone let's say stops by an event booth
22:00
and is like, I've never qualified, what are you doing?
22:03
Essentially anytime someone is on your website,
22:05
we're trying to figure out what's the best way
22:07
to convert them into pipeline.
22:08
And we can do that.
22:09
There are a number of different things,
22:10
whether it's chatbots or live chats or meeting schedulers
22:14
but at the end of the day, when someone is on your website
22:17
and they're showing interest,
22:18
we want to try to fast track them
22:20
in a really personalized way to turn them into
22:24
a new opportunity for your company.
22:26
- So we could take in this new paradigm,
22:30
we can take everything you just said,
22:32
turn that into basically a paragraph,
22:34
fully describes all of the different ways in all
22:37
the different things you might solve for someone
22:39
and then go score the entire B2B world against that.
22:42
So that's websites, that's job postings,
22:44
that's news articles, that's podcasts,
22:47
it's conference,
22:50
keynotes and fine people that are talking about
22:53
the problems that you solve
22:55
and bringing it back that way,
22:57
a much more fluid human understandable
23:00
and communicable way versus saying B2B uses sales force
23:04
has as many employees.
23:06
- That's so cool.
23:06
So to your point, my first answer,
23:08
and I swear for the people listening,
23:09
we did not rehearse this ahead of time,
23:11
I just happened to give the answer
23:12
but not into the learnings there.
23:16
So like as a marketer,
23:17
I am really used to because I have to
23:20
from a segmentation standpoint,
23:21
like I need to know all of the like technographic
23:23
and geographic data sets of what we consider
23:26
our target accounts,
23:27
but what you're saying is with vector embeddings
23:29
and with clear bit AI,
23:31
we could instead take that so much further
23:34
into what people actually care about
23:35
and when they have problems with this,
23:37
so it's gonna help tell me like,
23:38
yeah, you think these are like the technographic attributes
23:41
that you need for your target accounts,
23:42
but instead like here's the actual people in accounts
23:44
that are having these problems
23:47
and much more likely to convert.
23:49
- Yeah, it lets you do like intent based prospecting
23:52
and pain based prospecting using natural language,
23:55
which I think is how most of us communicate
23:57
and think about these things versus the extractions
23:59
that are data attributes.
24:01
- That is really cool.
24:02
And Matt, I am now gonna turn around
24:03
and put you on the spot
24:04
and this also was a plan
24:06
because you said you wanted to nerd out.
24:07
So I'd love for our listeners
24:08
to also be able to nerd out on this.
24:10
Can you give us just a brief description
24:12
of what vector embeddings are?
24:13
So if someone listening, they don't know what that is.
24:14
I'm like, hey, that sounded really cool.
24:17
What does that mean for you?
24:18
- Vector embedding is pretty straightforward.
24:19
It is a string of text
24:21
that has been turned into a numerical representation
24:24
in three dimensional space.
24:25
All that sounds nerdy, but it's just a number.
24:28
It's a number basically that represents a string of text
24:32
that makes it much, much more efficient
24:34
to find other numbers or text that is similar to that embedding.
24:39
- That's really cool.
24:40
Okay, we learn something new on GoToMarket.ai
24:43
every time we do an episode.
24:45
Matt, last question for you.
24:47
Are there any other AI-powered products
24:49
that your GoToMarket team is currently using
24:51
and loving that you wanna tell listeners about?
24:54
- Yeah, absolutely.
24:55
We have been lucky enough.
24:58
We were part of the chat GPT for business
25:01
kind of alpha beta over the last four months or so.
25:05
- Very cool.
25:06
- The team is using that really heavily
25:07
across sales GoToMarketOps
25:11
and, oh, by far and away,
25:15
a co-pilot.
25:16
I think co-pilot on the engineering team,
25:19
we easily added 20 to 30% in efficiency.
25:22
I'm making the number up my VP of engineering,
25:25
my yellow me, but we are moving faster
25:27
as an engineering organ than we have ever before.
25:29
And a huge part of that is thanks to Co-pilot.
25:33
- That's awesome.
25:34
Well, Matt, that is it for our show today.
25:37
Thank you so much for joining.
25:38
I think Clearbit, like I said,
25:40
we've been customers for a long time.
25:41
I've always found so much value
25:43
in what Clearbit offers to us,
25:44
but going behind the scenes here and being able to see
25:46
not only what you're doing in the back end with AI,
25:48
but what's on your roadmap was very enlightening.
25:51
So thank you.
25:52
Thank you so much for joining us today.
