Industries with the highest conversion rates include: e-commerce with a navigable catalog (8-121 TP3T), B2B SaaS with BANT certification (5-81 TP3T), healthcare with in-house scheduling (10-151 TP3T), and real estate with virtual tours (4-71 TP3T). Those benefiting most from WhatsApp AI are those that already had slow, manual processes.
