No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 1. Vendor: [drift.com (302-redirects to salesloft.com/platform/drift)](https://drift.com (302-redirects to salesloft.com/platform/drift)) · entry id 14-drift · source 14-inbound-plg-chat.md line 27 **What it does** Conversational-marketing/chat platform (real-time website visitor engagement, lead qualification, meeting booking) that pioneered the "buyer-intent chatbot" category before being acquired. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Historical Drift AI included conversational bots and intent scoring. Under Salesloft, the live product page states Salesloft has "transitioned from Drift to 1mind" for the underlying conversational-AI engine, with 1mind now feeding buyer signals into Salesloft's Predictive Revenue System - meaning the AI substance today reportedly comes from a different vendor (1mind), not Drift's original technology. Not independently verified beyond that one vendor page. **RevOps role** Legacy inbound-chat brand, now folded into Salesloft's revenue-orchestration platform rather than sold as a standalone product. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: No MCP found - **Auth**: n/a - **Parsed URLs**: 0 found in the mcp_url field No server was found at the time of the check. That is a statement about the search, not a promise that none exists. The status was established on 2026-09-02. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: none-found mcp_url, verbatim from the file: none **Command line** No CLI found by the 2026-09-27 harvest across vendor docs, npm, PyPI, Homebrew and GitHub. That is a probe result, not proof of absence. **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Gate unknown - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Not established api_gate, verbatim from the file: unknown. No self-serve pricing or API docs were found; the current page routes only to "Talk to Sales" / "Tour Our Platform." 949 of 1252 entries carry an unknown gate. Unknown is a legal answer and it ships as unknown rather than as a guess. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **On GitHub** [github.com/Driftt](https://github.com/Driftt) tied to the vendor by rule 3, account website http://www.drift.com/ has the vendor's domain, confidence strong - **Public repositories**: 20, forks excluded, as read on 2026-09-08 - **Mention MCP**: 0 of them - **Look like CLIs**: 0 of them - **Latest push**: 2026-06-30 The five most recently pushed, on 2026-09-08: | Repository | Kind | Description | Stars | Pushed | Latest release | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | [Drift-Bulk-Export-Transcript](https://github.com/Driftt/Drift-Bulk-Export-Transcript) | other | | 1 | 2026-06-30 | | | [EmailReplyParser](https://github.com/Driftt/EmailReplyParser) | other | Small Java library to parse plain text email content | 28 | 2026-01-26 | | | [drift-python](https://github.com/Driftt/drift-python) | SDK | Drift API wrapper written in Python | 23 | 2024-12-10 | v1.1.1 | | [drift-sdk-ios](https://github.com/Driftt/drift-sdk-ios) | SDK | Drift for iOS, for integrating Drift into your iOS application. | 12 | 2023-08-31 | 2.4.3 | | [drift-sdk-android](https://github.com/Driftt/drift-sdk-android) | SDK | The Drift Android SDK | 13 | 2023-08-31 | v1.2.10 | Kind is a heuristic guessed from the repository name, topics and description, not a fact the vendor stated. A repository count is activity, not a verdict. Read 2026-09-08. **Jobs it can do** No job tag on this entry. Reason recorded by the tagging pass: dead. Folded into Salesloft, and the entry states the conversational-AI engine is now a third party (1mind). Tagging answer-inbound-chat would point an agent at a product that no longer exists standalone. 981 of 1,252 entries are untagged. An empty list here means nobody has tagged this, not that the tool does nothing. The vocabulary is closed, so a tool whose job is genuinely not in it stays blank rather than being forced into the nearest tag. **Sources** - [https://www.drift.com](https://www.drift.com) - [https://www.salesloft.com/platform/drift](https://www.salesloft.com/platform/drift) 2 source URLs. Raw sources field, verbatim: https://www.drift.com, https://www.salesloft.com/platform/drift **Notes, verbatim from the file** STATUS FLAG. Drift was acquired by Salesloft; as of this research pass, drift.com 302-redirects straight to salesloft.com/platform/drift, and that page itself states the conversational-AI engine has moved from Drift to a third party ("1mind") - i.e., the original Drift product appears to be sunset in favor of a partner integration, not merely rebranded. Worth re-verifying before citing Drift as a live, buyable product in its own right. [api_gate 2026-08-25] Re-checked and left unknown, honestly: Drift is absorbed into Salesloft and the chat capability has been replaced - the Salesloft page states they have transitioned from Drift to 1mind. A Drift login still exists but no Drift pricing or API terms are published, so there is no current gate to record. Checked against https://www.salesloft.com/platform/drift. 2026-09-02: re-verified. https://www.drift.com/ still redirects to https://www.salesloft.com/platform/drift, and that Salesloft page states "We've transitioned from Drift to 1mind", with 1mind feeding buyer signals into Salesloft's Predictive Revenue System; it does not use the words sunset or discontinued, and it has no MCP mention. Drift remains an absorbed brand with no standalone product surface; mcp_status none-found unchanged. 1mind is a separate candidate, not a Drift alias. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 14-drift - **Source file**: 14-inbound-plg-chat.md - **Source line**: 27 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-09-02 - **Data baked**: 2026-09-27 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
