Clari and Salesloft have put Drift on a sunset path, so every team running it has a chatbot to replace. Verspa is a website conversion platform: in place of the chatbot, its AI buyer aware demo answers the visitor, shows them your real product and hands your sales team a briefed lead.
| A website chatbot | Verspa | |
|---|---|---|
| What the visitor gets | Answers and a meeting link | Answers, then your deck and your real product, in one conversation |
| Voice and avatar | Text chat | Voice and avatar in every AI buyer aware demo |
| Memory | The chat transcript | Person first memory that follows each buyer when they change jobs |
| After the conversation | Routed to a rep | Recap, CRM note and follow up written from what the buyer said, by email, social media and AI calls |
| CRM | Varies | Two way sync with HubSpot and Salesforce |
| Price | Varies | £999 a month per workspace with 40,000 credits and the first two desks |

Salesloft, which owns Drift, merged with Clari in December 2025. In March 2026 the two announced a partnership with 1mind, and Drift was put on a gradual sunset path. There is no single public end date yet, so check your own contract with Salesloft.
AI demo agents comparedBecause the visitor's real question is usually “can I see it?” A chatbot answers and books a call, and the buyer waits days to see the product. While you are replacing Drift anyway, you can replace the wait as well: the AI buyer aware demo shows them the product while they are still on your site.
