Clay AMAs
Live at ama.smallgenai.com
Every answer from the Clay community's Ask Me Anything sessions, kept in one place: searchable by topic and guest, shareable into Slack, and swipeable as a card deck when you just want to catch up.
Unofficial and community-made. Questions and answers are quoted word for word from the public #10-ask-me-anything channel; each answer is the guest's own view.
What it does
- All answers / By topic. Every Q&A as a card with the full thread, or grouped into nine topics.
- Swipe deck. Any AMA, topic or search as a stack of cards, most upvoted first. Keep the good ones, skip the rest, undo, then copy what you kept into Slack.
- Share. Quote images sized for LinkedIn, "Copy for Slack" lists with thread links, Markdown downloads.
- Report. A one-page AMA report (program-wide or per guest) for the community team, exportable to PDF.
- Works offline and installs to the home screen (PWA).

the site
Nothing is paraphrased. The only written-by-AI text per thread is its short title and a 2–6 word topic line for share images.
Layout
| Path | What it is |
|---|
src/index.html | The app: one file of HTML, CSS and vanilla JS. Also published as a Claude artifact. |
src/sw.js | Service worker template (offline, instant repeat visits). |
public/ | Data, report page, guest and member photos, icons, PDF libraries. |
build.mjs | Dependency-free build: page head and metadata, the answer cards prerendered into the HTML (so crawlers and the first paint get them without JavaScript), FAQ structured data, self-hosted fonts, manifest, RSS, sitemap, versioned service worker. |
site.config.json | Title, domain, analytics keys. |
tools/render-images.mjs | Renders the app icons and the link-preview image (needs Playwright). |
tools/artifact/ | Builds the template the Claude artifact copy needs. |
Editors
Editors sign in from the footer ("Editor sign-in") with an emailed link and get the Toolbox: program and guest reports, recap posts, the unanswered-questions sheet, exports, and hide/restore. Hiding commits to moderation.json through api/moderation.js, and Vercel redeploys within a minute.
| Vercel environment variable | What it is |
|---|
SESSION_SECRET | Long random string that signs sign-in links and sessions |
ALLOWED_EDITORS | Comma-separated emails that can sign in, optionally with a display name: [email protected]=Kartik,[email protected]=Shriya |
RESEND_API_KEY | Sends the sign-in emails |
EMAIL_FROM | e.g. Clay AMAs <[email protected]> (a domain verified in Resend) |
GITHUB_TOKEN | Fine-grained token with contents read/write on this repo |
