Drift is a conversational marketing and sales platform that uses AI-powered chatbots to engage website visitors in real-time personalised conversations — qualifying leads, answering questions and booking meetings directly into sales reps' calendars, all without human involvement. Used by 50,000+ businesses including Zendesk, Marketo and MongoDB, Drift has pioneered the conversational marketing category.
Traditional B2B lead generation relies on forms — a prospect fills in a form, gets put into a nurture sequence, and eventually gets contacted by a sales rep days later. By that point, their interest has often cooled. Drift replaces this friction-heavy process with immediate, personalised conversation — when a target account visits your website, Drift recognises them, greets them by name and connects them with the right sales rep instantly.
Drift's AI Conversation Cloud uses machine learning trained on millions of B2B sales conversations to qualify prospects, answer product questions and handle objections in natural language. The AI identifies buying intent signals — pages visited, time on site, company size — and escalates high-value prospects to human reps in real time via Slack or email alerts. For enterprise B2B companies with long sales cycles, this acceleration can translate directly into significant revenue impact.
