introducing the drift platform

Hypothetical for you: A lead drops by your site and asks a question in a language no one at your company is fluent in. What do you do?

The traditional approach: Scramble!

Yes, please translate

Babel Bot 9:20 AM Only visible to your teamIt looks like this user is speaking Spanish. Here's a translation:Hi, can you help me choose a plan to buy?

Want me to help translate the rest of the conversation?

No Thanks

But now, with the launch of the Drift Platform, there’s a bot for that.

We call it Babel Bot, and our developers built it on top of Drift (using the Google Cloud Translation API).

And now your developers — as well as the 5,000+ companies in the marketing tech space — can build on top of Drift too.

As of today, Drift is officially an open platform.

We strongly believe that opening up our doors for developers to build amazing apps on top of Drift will give our customers even more opportunities to succeed.
