Reteno AI: Your Co-Pilot That Turns 25% App Abandonment Into Conversion Wins

Alex Anikienko

A staggering 63% of Gen Z consumers claim brand loyalty isn't their priority as long as the product covers their needs. In other words, your value proposition alone doesn’t win hearts. Your communication does.

Mobile apps thrive or fail based on how well they offer perceived value. A recent study found that 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalized interactions. Old-school approaches and tools make it hard to meet those expectations. Manual personalization doesn’t scale. Crafting and sending tailored notifications to hundreds of thousands of users would require a large team and budget.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is key to achieving explosive app growth with minimal effort. However, even with increased investment in smart technologies, marketers still face tough challenges. In 2025, 65% of marketers find consumer behavior harder to predict, and 69% struggle to engage customers meaningfully.

Reteno's AI-generated messages

In this article, we’ll dive into how Reteno AI upgrades app retention and revenue. This solution is here to empower your marketing team, not to replace it. Reteno’s toolkit acts as your co‑pilot, handling the heavy lifting of message generation and optimization while keeping you in control of strategy and brand voice.

Reteno AI: Your One-Stop Shop for Revenue Growth

The mobile app market is a goldmine, with global downloads projected to hit 299 billion in 2025, up from 277 billion in 2024. But here’s the catch: 25% of users abandon apps after just one use.

For businesses with modest teams and budgets but big ambitions, competing with industry titans feels like scaling Mount Everest with a skeleton crew. Reteno AI can help with that, turning the impossible into effortless. By harnessing real-time user behavior analysis, dynamic segmentation, and automated campaign optimization, it delivers hyper-personalized messaging across email, push notifications, and in-app alerts.

Consider this case study: a language-learning app using Reteno’s AI-generated push notifications achieved an 82.3% surge in click-through rates (CTR) and a 68.1% jump in conversion rates (CVR) compared to manual campaigns. No extra staff or cost, just jaw-dropping results driven by affordable smart solutions.

How Reteno AI Works

Reteno’s approach to messaging automation doesn’t aim to replace human creativity. Instead, it amplifies it. Your team maintains control over marketing strategy and product improvements, while AI handles continuous optimization of communication.

Seamless Messaging Across User Journeys

The unique “One from many” block streamlines ongoing A/B testing. Rather than creating separate branches for each variant, group similar messages under one tag, and the system automatically tests, rotates, and scales winners without extra setup.

The test runs continuously, so you don’t need to restart campaigns whenever you add a new variant. The block automatically rotates content and scales winning messages, preventing audience fatigue and ensuring the best-performing copy is displayed to more users.

Generative AI for Mobile Push Crafting

Writing effective push notifications is time‑consuming. Reteno AI enhances the “One from many” block by generating new titles, subtitles, and body copy based on the best‑performing variant. For new workflows, it draws on up to 5 messages. You can request up to 20 suggestions at a time, and the AI will automatically translate them into multiple languages. Your marketing team can review suggestions in the moderation panel, edit as needed, and approve or discard them. Once published, the “One from many” block tests the AI‑generated variants alongside your manually written ones and automatically scales the best performers.

AI‑Assisted Email Editing

Reteno’s email editor includes AI tools that work directly within your templates. With one click, the system can analyze the emotional tone of your text, expand on bullet points, fix grammar, remove unnecessary phrases, and translate content.

The “Improve with AI” button, located next to the subject and preheader fields, offers suggestions for hooks based on persuasion psychology or your notification drafts. These tools help you quickly generate engaging email copy while maintaining complete control over the final message.

The Combined Impact

Combining continuous optimization, AI-generated copy, and AI-assisted editing delivers three major benefits:

  • Higher engagement. Personalized messages resonate deeper. For example, a yoga workout app that used Reteno’s automated messaging saw a 14% increase in conversion rate and a 4.8% boost in open rate.
  • Reduced time-to-launch. Unlike manual operations, AI is faster and less prone to error when handling routine tasks like writing alert variants and translating text. As a result, your team can transition from concept to campaign in hours instead of weeks.
  • Greater ROI. Automated testing ensures that the best-performing messages are sent more often and resonate with more users, improving conversions without requiring additional staff.

Practical Example: Using Reteno AI to Fix Abandoned Subscriptions

Challenge

You run a fitness app that offers premium workouts via a paid subscription. Many users install the app, explore free content, and then abandon the subscription process. You want to re‑engage these users before they lose interest.

Step‑by‑Step Solution

Define the segment & start the campaign

Create a dynamic segment such as “Installed app but no subscription”. It should include users who triggered the app_install event but haven’t triggered the subscription_purchased event within 24 hours. When configuring the start conditions, select “event-triggered” so that the campaign starts when the app_install event occurs. Typically, this event can trigger multiple workflows.

Personalize reminders using One from many + generative AI

Add a “One from many” message block to your workflow. Within the “tags” section, label existing push templates (e.g., “Subscription reminder” or “Unlock premium”) so the block knows which messages belong together.

Click “Generate messages” in the block to create dozens of mobile push notifications with AI in seconds. Real‑world experiments show that automatically generated messages aren’t just catchy, they convert and motivate action.

Set the “Allowed send time” so that alerts are only delivered between 9 AM and 8 PM local time, for example. If a trigger occurs outside this time frame, Reteno will store the message until the next allowed period.

Follow up with an email

After sending a push, add an “Email” message block emphasizing the benefits of subscribing (e.g., “Unlock personalized workout plans, nutrition advice, and progress tracking with a premium subscription”). Use the AI‑powered email editor to enhance the copy conversion potential.

Monitor and iterate

After flow activation, track the campaign performance. The “One from many” block continuously optimizes your messaging flow and lets you remove underperformers by changing tags. Keep adding new AI‑generated ideas on a rolling basis, and tweak the send time windows or timing delays to reduce churn.

Stop the campaign when the user converts

Configure event‑based stop condition so that the campaign ends when the user triggers the subscription_purchased event. Reteno’s stop configuration allows a workflow to halt when one of the selected events occurs. This ensures that subscribers will not receive already irrelevant reminders.

Why it works

Reteno AI streamlines every step.

  • Event‑triggered workflows start automatically when a user installs the app.
  • The “One from many” block continuously tests and refines personalized messages.
  • Built‑in AI generates high‑quality push notifications instantly and enhances email copy.
  • “Allowed send time” settings prevent annoying late‑night or early-morning pings.

The result? A hands‑off, data‑driven campaign that boosts conversions without added complexity or cost.
