About Drift
Drift, absorbed into the Salesloft-Clari stack, ships monthly agentic and admin bundles
Drift no longer ships as a standalone product — its changelog now flows through Salesloft's monthly release notes following the Salesloft-Clari merger, with Drift's chatbot settings appearing as one section among many. The cadence is a steady monthly digest spanning dialer, Outlook Connect, Conversations, and CRM sync. The clearest strategic thread is agentic: an MCP server for external AI tools, a Sales Strategist coaching agent, and AI call scoring.
