# Drift > Drift is a robotics-native engineering agent grounded in physical-world reasoning. It takes engineers from a natural-language prompt to a production-grade simulation in minutes, with native support for ROS 2, Gazebo, MuJoCo, and Isaac Sim. Drift is built by Ramankind Inc, based in San Francisco. The product runs as a cloud-hosted agent that pairs with the developer's local environment via a CLI installer at . ## What Drift does - **Plans tasks like an engineer.** Decomposes a natural-language spec into a graph of robotics sub-tasks (controllers, planners, perception, world setup). - **Verifies grounded in physics.** Runs Gazebo, MuJoCo, and Isaac Sim natively, rolling out the agent's plans in simulation and reading back state. - **Speaks ROS 2.** Reads, generates, and edits ROS packages, launch files, and URDF/SDF scene descriptions. - **Debugs autonomously.** Reads logs, tweaks parameters, re-runs sims, reports back. ## Marketing pages - [Home](https://godrift.ai/): Overview - the agent for 10× faster robotics engineering. - [Features](https://godrift.ai/#features): Agentic task planning, physics-grounded verification, ROS & simulator native control, autonomous debugging. - [Use cases](https://godrift.ai/#use-cases): Real applications across kitchen manipulation, hospital navigation, industrial cells, outdoor rover tasks. - [Demo](https://godrift.ai/#demo): Video walkthrough of Drift in action. - [Team](https://godrift.ai/team): The founding team behind Drift. - [Careers](https://godrift.ai/careers): Open roles and how to apply. - [Pricing](https://godrift.ai/#pricing): Plans and contact for enterprise. ## Careers Drift is hiring.
