Building an AI-Powered Revenue Recovery Engine for SaaS ๐Ÿš€ (Next.js 15 + Gemini 2.0)

Every SaaS founder knows the "silent killer" of revenue: Involuntary Churn.
Itโ€™s not that the customer cancelled; itโ€™s that their card failed at 3:00 AM, the robotic "Payment Failed" email went to spam, and they simply forgot to update their details.
I built RevRescue to solve this.

The Problem ๐Ÿ“‰

In the African market, payment failures are common due to network issues, insufficient funds, or expired cards. Standard dunning (recovery) emails often sound robotic and lack the empathy needed to get a customer to take action.

The solution: RevRescue ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
RevRescue connects directly to your payment provider and uses Gemini 2.0 Flash AI to craft high-converting, personalized recovery sequences that actually sound human.

Key Features:
Native Paystack Integration: Real-time synchronization of failed and recovered transactions.

Gemini 2.0 AI Copywriter:
Generates structured recovery templates using Zod schemas for consistency.

Developer-First API: A clean REST API (https://revrescue.xyz/api/v1/recovery-events) for teams using custom billing systems.

Live Support Bridge: A real-time bridge telegram and firebase allowing founders to chat with customers in trouble directly from their phone.

The Tech Stack ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Framework: Next.js 15 (App Router)

AI: Genkit + Google Gemini 2.0 Flash

Database & Auth: Firebase (Firestore + Auth)

Email: Resend (Custom Domain: revrescue.xyz)

Styling: Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui

Whatโ€™s Next? ๐ŸŒ
Right now, RevRescue is optimized for the African market via Paystack. However, I know many of you are playing on the global stage.
Iโ€™m excited to announce that Stripe Integration is officially in development and coming soon! This will bring AI-powered recovery to the worldโ€™s largest payment ecosystem.

Check it out

Iโ€™d love to get some feedback from the community!

Love seeing more robust tooling built specifically for the African market first. Connecting directly to Paystack webhooks to catch failures instantly is super smart. Looking forward to seeing that Stripe integration roll out for the global play. Great work!๐Ÿ™‚
