I gave them the same prompts across a bunch of experiments, from fixing bugs in a big codebase to building a landing page, running audience research, and coding a structural simulator.

Claude Code is the orchestrator and Clay handles the data, sourcing real businesses, enriching them with verified emails and phone numbers through its waterfall, and writing a personalized email for every single lead. I run a real HVAC example that pulled 50 fully enriched leads with custom subject lines and bodies for about 12 dollars in credits, then take the whole list into Clay to buy domains, warm them up, and launch the campaign. If you have been putting off cold outreach because the data and the tools felt like too much to manage, this is the easiest way I have found to do it.

Fugu isn't a new model. It's one API that orchestrates and routes tasks across frontier models like Opus, GPT, and Gemini, kind of like Claude Code spinning up sub-agents, just automatic. So I ran Fugu Ultra against Claude Opus 4.8 across 38 tasks to see if the orchestration actually wins. In this video you'll see where it landed on quality, speed, and cost, and why I'm not switching off my Claude Code and Codex subscriptions yet.

You could start your own agency, you might already run a business, or you might just want to level up at the job you already have. In this video I break down why the path you pick matters less than the skills underneath it and the way you go about using them. I cover why the tools keep changing but the real value sits with the person who can figure out what's actually worth building, the two roads into becoming an AI consultant, and a simple roadmap that works no matter which direction you're headed.
