Company profile
researched Aug 2026Drift (drift.com) offers conversational AI software for business-to-business sales and marketing teams. Its AI chat agents engage website visitors in real time, answer their questions and qualify leads by capturing intent data as visitors browse, with the aim of shortening the gap between a buyer signal and a seller response.
The product is positioned as part of Salesloft's Predictive Revenue System: chat interactions are piped into a seller's Rhythm workflow so that captured web intent triggers prioritized seller actions, and chat data is synced with CRM and sales workflow tools. Chat agents draw on website behavior, CRM records and prior conversations to personalize responses, which the company contrasts with script-driven traditional chatbots. The drift.com site states that the offering has transitioned from Drift to 1mind, with 1mind chat agents integrating with Salesloft to feed buyer signals into the Predictive Revenue System.
