AI Retention Agent
Watches every active customer for signs they are slipping away. Spots the warning signals early: dropped usage, delayed payment, support tone shifting. Surfaces the at-risk ones so the team can save them while there is still time.

"Three customers moved into the high-risk band this week. The agency in Singapore has dropped usage 70% over the past month and is approaching renewal. The boutique hotel hasn't logged in for 14 days but their support sentiment is fine - probably seasonal. The third is the one I am most worried about: payment delayed twice, support tone has shifted from warm to terse, usage flat. I have queued a check-in email for review on the first two and escalated the third to you with a full brief. Five customers I had on watch last month came back fully engaged - the cohort report has the details."
