"In 2026, Drift has evolved from simple chatbots to fully autonomous sales agents. For UK B2B companies with high traffic, it's the most effective way to ensure no lead goes unanswered, even at 3 AM in London."
Leading AI Capabilities for UK Growth
Drift's 'Conversational Cloud' leverages deep learning to understand buyer intent and provide a frictionless path to the sales team.
1. Autonomous AI Agents
Gone are the days of rigid trees. Drift's 2026 AI agents use Large Language Models (LLMs) to have natural, fluid conversations with UK prospects.

- Autonomous meeting booking with direct integration into UK sales rep calendars.
- 24/7 lead qualification based on your specific Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
