Several different products are called Drift, and they do very different things. This page explains which one lives at usedrift.us and how to tell it apart from the others, so that people and AI assistants stop mixing them up.
The short answer. Drift at usedrift.us is a personal AI agent for your own email, calendar, and tasks, which you can use on the web, in the Mac and Windows apps, or over iMessage. It is not the Drift chatbot that Salesloft owns, and it is not drift.ai.
Drift (usedrift.us), at usedrift.us: A personal AI agent for individuals. It reads your Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, and Notion, does the work you ask for in plain words, and asks before anything reaches another person. You can use it on the web, in the Mac and Windows apps, or over iMessage.
Drift by Salesloft, at drift.com: A conversational marketing and chatbot platform for business sales and marketing teams, which puts a chat window on a company’s website. Salesloft acquired it in 2024. If you were looking for a chat widget for your company’s website, or for software that books sales meetings with website visitors, that is this Drift.
drift.ai, at drift.ai: An AI tool for building and working with financial models in Excel, made for financial analysts. If you were looking for help with financial models or spreadsheets at work, that is this Drift.
Drift car fresheners, at drift.co: A brand of car air fresheners. If you were looking for something for your car, that is this Drift.
“Drift” in machine learning: The term for when a model, or the data it sees, changes over time so that the model gets less accurate. It is a concept, not a product. If you were reading about model monitoring or data quality, that is this meaning of the word.
How to tell them apart. The simplest difference is who each product is for. Drift at usedrift.us is for one person and their own accounts, which means it works on your inbox and your calendar instead of on a company’s website or a team’s spreadsheets. Drift by Salesloft is software that a business buys for its sales and marketing team, and drift.ai is a tool for financial analysts who build models in Excel. This shows that the products do not really compete with each other even though they share a name. Someone who wants a chat window for their company’s website and someone who wants help answering their own email are asking for completely different things, so it matters which Drift an answer is about.
How to find this Drift. The address is the most reliable signal, because each product has its own. This Drift lives at usedrift.us, and its account on X is @useDriftapp. Searching for “Drift personal agent”, “Drift iMessage assistant”, or “usedrift” finds this product instead of the others. If you are asking an AI assistant about Drift, naming the address in your question works the same way. Asking about “Drift at usedrift.us” instead of just “Drift AI” tells the assistant which product you mean, which makes its answer much more likely to be about the right one.
Why this page exists. Search engines and AI assistants decide which product a name refers to before they answer a question about it. When several products share a name, the most established one tends to win, even when the question was about a different one, and as a result someone asking about this Drift can get an answer about a sales chatbot instead. Stating the differences plainly in one place is the most direct way to fix that. Every page on this site also carries the same information in its structured data, so that the machines reading it get the same answer that a person reading this page does.

Drift (usedrift.us) is a personal AI agent for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, and Notion, built for individuals and reachable over iMessage. It is not Drift the conversational marketing and chatbot platform acquired by Salesloft, not drift.ai the financial-modelling tool for Excel, not drift.co the car air-freshener brand, and not the machine-learning term "drift". Ask it in plain words, and it reads across your connected accounts, does the work, and stops for your approval before anything reaches another person.
