Drift is the website chat module inside Salesloft's revenue platform. Its AI agent identifies high-intent visitors and routes buyers to reps through Salesloft Rhythm. Drift handles website chat only, and Salesloft and Clari are retiring it: the chat widget stops working on January 31, 2027, with 1mind named as the exclusive successor.
