No-Code Machine Learning Platforms To Use

Overview

Instant Insights, Zero Coding with our No-Code Predictive Analytics Solution

No-Code Machine Learning platforms

I think that if data is the new oil, then machine learning is the new electricity. 

Machine learning is being used everywhere. From the algorithm behind your everyday Google search to chatbots, voice assistants, or image face recognition when unlocking your cellphone.

It is such a powerful tool that is already revolutionizing every industry and changing every aspect of our world.

We’ve entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with advances in artificial intelligence (AI) being a big part of it.

But, the state of predictive analytics and machine learning today is not ideal:

  1. Today, machine learning is reserved for expert data science teams and large enterprises. 40% of companies claim that AI technologies and expertise are too expensive. (Deloitte)
  2. There are far more data-related business problems than data scientists who can solve them. 83% of businesses say that AI is their strategic priority today, and yet, there is not enough data science talent. (Forbes)
  3. There is a considerable gap between AI and business domain experts – they don’t speak the same language and rarely understand each other.

Early on, we discovered how difficult it was for non-technical people to build AI solutions or even to understand what benefits AI can bring. 

No-code movement is here, becoming more and more mature. There are specific aspects of no-code that are arising nowadays – and that is no-code machine learning. 

We imagine a world where an easy tool will eliminate machine learning programming for well-defined business problems. 

Why? 

Because Machine Learning isn’t about typing code, it’s about business value.

And that is the reason why no-code machine learning platforms so inspire us! 

They create opportunities for domain business experts to play around and test their ideas without getting lost in translation, without AI/ML experts, and without even knowing they are “doing AI or ML.”

We are building the world’s easiest-to-use no-code machine learning platform – Graphite Note. That means we are following this space all the time. If you are interested in no-code and no-code machine learning platforms, we believe that sharing these insights would also be helpful for you.

In this article, we are evaluating the state of no-code machine learning platforms and tools. This article documents our process, the metrics we used, and insights we could draw from our assessment.

What is no-code machine learning anyway?

First, we need to define which platforms we are going to consider. 

No-code machine learning platforms should be tools that do not require any coding and ideally don’t require any knowledge of machine learning, AI, programming, or software development concepts.

No-code machine learning platforms help fill the gaps in the business that don’t have in-house AI talent. No-code machine learning is a suitable option for non-technical people because it is less intimidating. 

This new technology allows everyday business users to create fantastic Machine Learning applications without writing a single line of code. 

70% of new applications will use low-code or no-code technologies by 2025. That is up from less than 25% in 2020. (Gartner)

Benefits of No-Code Machine Learning Platforms

1. Simplifying complex AI-based tasks

Simplifying complex AI-based tasks is one of the main benefits of no-code machine learning platforms. Instead of spending hours coding and debugging, business users can quickly and easily build machine learning models and applications with a no-code platform. This saves time and resources while still gaining the accuracy and power of using AI-based data analysis. Not only can business users quickly create AI models, but they can also easily deploy their AI applications into production. All of this is possible without understanding complex coding or software development skills.

2. Increased Efficiency

No-code machine learning platforms can help to increase the efficiency of predictive analytics projects. By automating processes, such as data preparation and model selection, no-code solutions can help organizations reduce the amount of time needed to create a successful model. 

3. Easier Model Deployment

No-code machine learning platforms make deploying models from development to production significantly easier. This is because many no-code solutions provide an easy-to-use UI for controlling the deployment of models. 

4. Faster Model Training

No-code machine learning platforms can speed up the training process by using powerful optimization algorithms and automated feature engineering. With the addition of cloud computing and AI-assisted optimization, models can be trained significantly faster and at a much lower cost. This makes it faster to experiment with different hypotheses and build a better predictive model.

5. Cost Savings

No-code machine learning platforms can provide significant savings when compared to traditional software development solutions. This is because many platform-related costs, such as hardware and labor, are removed from the equation. Additionally, no-code solutions are often much less expensive to purchase and maintain than traditional ones and can help reduce operational costs in the long run.

No-Code Machine Learning Platforms: Our Research

Our next step was to agree on the assessment metrics. In order to simplify things, we chose three primary metrics:

  1. Platform simplicity and ease of use
  2. Number of use cases covered
  3. Target customer

Then we went through each platform’s landing page, documentation, features, and tutorials. We created a score on the two metrics we had decided upon for each no-code machine learning platform.

No-Code Machine Learning platforms
No-Code Machine Learning Platforms: Completeness vs Simplicity and Usability

Metric: Platform simplicity and ease of use

This metric is, in our opinion, a bread and butter or no-code platform. 

How simple can a user with minimal to no coding experience use the platform? 

Is machine learning accessible to non-tech users through the self-explanatory user interface?

What about results after ML model training? Does the platform present them in an easy-to-interpret way?

Based on all these answers, the easier the no-code machine learning platform is to use, the better score it will get (1-10). 

Metric: The number of use cases covered.

Platforms in the no-code machine learning space tend to have positioned themselves either in 

  • Different technologies like Predictive Analytics, Natural Language Processing, or Computer Vision 
  • Specific business use cases (classification problems, CRM, web-builders, business apps). 

Some no-code machine learning platforms are oriented toward the process: they help end users manage the machine learning pipeline and process.

The others are oriented toward use cases; they enable end users quickly train and deploy a machine learning model for a specific use case.

We are considering how much of the whole machine learning process does the platform cover? Is the platform more focused on a specific use case, or is it more general? If the no-code machine learning platform can cover a higher number of use cases, the higher score it will get (1-10).

Metric: Target customer

We put particular emphasis on the platform’s target customer profile. Ultimately, we divided no-code machine learning platforms into two categories:

  • Suitable for SME
  • Suitable for Enterprise

Our segmentation is based on targeted users, billing, the amount of technical setup required, and the minimum knowledge needed to start working with a platform.

Please note that this list of no-code machine learning platforms is incomplete. We could also include some other metrics for comparison. Still, we are particularly interested in mapping out no-code machine learning platforms suitable for SMEs and easy to use while having many use cases available. We will happily add new no-code machine learning platforms as they come.
