ConvoScore vs 1Mind
Salesloft is steering Drift customers toward 1Mind. It is an ambitious, high-touch AI persona platform. ConvoScore is the smaller, faster move if you just need lead qualification back.
1Mind builds photorealistic AI personas that run live demos, field technical questions and carry a sales conversation across your site, calls and events. It is aimed at revenue teams that want an always-on AI rep and have the motion to support one.
ConvoScore does one slice of that. It runs a short text chat with each visitor, scores the lead HOT, WARM or COLD with a written reason, summarises what they want and alerts your team. No avatar, no call flow, no onboarding project.
If Drift was mainly your Contact Sales widget and lead routing, ConvoScore covers that in an afternoon. If you want an AI persona running full demos, 1Mind is built for that and ConvoScore is not.
Being pushed toward 1Mind by Salesloft?
1Mind is the partner Salesloft is recommending as Drift winds down. It is a real option for teams that want a full AI rep, but it is a bigger commitment than the Contact Sales widget most teams actually used Drift for.

The honest bit
When 1Mind is the better choice
If you want an AI persona that can actually demo the product, handle live objections and show up on calls and at events, that is 1Mind's whole design and ConvoScore does not attempt it. ConvoScore is the better fit when the real gap Drift left is a smart Contact Sales form and you want it back this week, without a rollout.
The short version
1Mind is the ambitious path off Drift: an AI rep you build and train. ConvoScore is the quick one: a script tag that qualifies, scores and briefs every website lead, with a free tier to start.
