A Better Clay Alternative

From prospecting workflow to prospecting result

Clay is powerful for building custom GTM workflows, but getting from an idea to an executed workflow can mean configuring providers, waterfalls, tables, signals, and outbound integrations. Lev8 lets you describe who you want and what you want to do in plain language. Lev8 then handles search, qualification, enrichment, monitoring, and outreach in one workflow.

Get more usable matches with Swarm Search

Lev8 runs a swarm of search agents in parallel, combining quick search, layered semantic search, and broad open-web exploration. Results are ranked and verified together, so you get broader coverage without giving up speed or precision.

Lev8 searches social platforms, the open web, underground sources, and contact databases

Get more reliable identities with Entity Resolution

Lev8 assigns every person and company a unique entity ID and uses it as ground truth across search and enrichment. Supporting evidence is tied back to the same entity, reducing duplicate profiles, identity mix-ups, and hallucinated matches.

Lev8 resolves multiple sources into one persistent entity ID

Get more relevant results with Intent Verification

Lev8 continuously builds an intent profile from your request, then checks results against both the overall goal and each individual condition. This multi-layer verification keeps results aligned with your real criteria, not just the keywords in your query.

Lev8 verifies search conditions, identity, and intent alignment

Reach prospects where they hang out

With Lev8, every verified match comes with the channels they actually use. Send personalized outreach over email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, or WhatsApp — and manage replies and follow-ups in one place.
