How does a tool predict if a visitor is likely to buy or not?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to understand how technology can predict a visitor's purchase likelihood. My conversion rates are inconsistent, and I want to know how advanced tools analyze visitor behavior to determine their potential to make a purchase. I'm curious about the specific signals and data points that indicate whether someone is a serious buyer or just browsing, and how this information can be used to create more targeted marketing strategies.
