Conversational marketing and customer support platform

Drift has effectively dissolved into Salesloft's monthly release rhythm.

Current state
The product no longer ships under the Drift name. The changelog is a monthly link to Salesloft's release notes, with the May 2026 drop the only one carrying actual content — Agent Tasks metrics for AI Data, Channels & Conversations updates, and Rhythm/Cadence workflow tweaks. Nothing on the page is positioned as a Drift-specific feature anymore.
Where it's heading
What was once a category-defining conversational marketing tool is now a feature surface inside the broader Salesloft revenue platform. Expect the Drift brand to keep fading; product investment lives in Salesloft's combined cadence and is increasingly framed as 'Agents' and 'AI Data' — a sales-engagement framing rather than a marketing-website chat one.
Prediction
The next directional move is the eventual retirement of any standalone Drift surfacing in Salesloft's UI. Conversational features will be re-pitched as part of the Agent platform, with the historical Drift chat capabilities subsumed into a generalized buyer-engagement layer.
