Abstract
A computing device includes a database, software code, and a processor. The software code, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to predict users continued engagement with an external software application. The predictive software application transmits a data request to a database of an external software application, the requested data corresponding to a plurality of engagement variables for a set of users of the external software application. The predictive software application receives extracted data for the plurality of application engagement variables and stores the extracted data in a prediction database. The predictive software application calculates a weighting factor, identifying impact on future use, for each of the plurality of application engagement variables based on the analyzing of the extracted data for the plurality of application engagement variables. The predictive software application transmits the plurality of application engagement variables and the corresponding weighting factor to the existing application.
