What is Retention Science AI?

Retention Science is an AI-powered platform designed to help businesses predict which customers are at risk of leaving and automatically send them personalised campaigns to keep them engaged. Rather than treating all customers the same, it uses machine learning to identify churn patterns and triggers targeted lifecycle messages across email and other channels. The tool is built for e-commerce businesses, subscription services, and direct-to-consumer brands that want to reduce customer loss without having to manually design and send every retention campaign. It works by analysing customer behaviour data, predicting who might churn soon, and then automating timely, personalised outreach to win them back or prevent them from leaving in the first place.
