About Drift
Drift's changelog has become Salesloft's: AI metrics, an MCP server, and agent-routed cadence work.
Drift's release feed now flows through the Salesloft umbrella post-merger, and what's shipping reads as a sales-ops platform layering AI into every workflow surface. Recent months added AI usage metrics in Analytics (Account researched, Person researched, Agent tasks completed), an AI Email Assistant inside the compose window, Cadence Collections for organizing cadences, and — most consequentially — a Salesloft MCP Server that exposes live pipeline, call, and account data to Claude and other AI tools.
