How ClayBot Works

The feedback loop that makes ClayBot smarter over time.

What is ClayBot?

ClayBot is the virtual representation of Clay Cash and his 30 years of experience in legal technology, eDiscovery, data architecture, and process design. Ask it questions and, where possible, it will give you answers that make sense based on what Clay knows.

Important: Clay does not guarantee these answers are correct. This system is purely informational. There is no guarantee of accuracy. All responses should be validated by qualified professionals before being relied upon for business, legal, or technical decisions.

The Technology

ClayBot is powered by:

  • Anthropic's Claude API — The AI that generates conversational responses
  • Clay's Knowledge Base — 30 years of expertise captured through structured interviews and stored in a vector database
  • Relativity Documentation — Indexed RelativityOne help and developer docs for technical accuracy
  • RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) — When you ask a question, the system retrieves the most relevant knowledge before generating a response
