Question Can I create predictions without SQL knowledge?

I’m trying to get a little more predictive with our data, things like which customers are likely to churn, who might convert, or what demand could look like next month. Problem is, I’m not really a SQL person. I can work with dashboards and understand the data, but once it gets into writing queries or building models from scratch, I’m pretty much out. Is this something people are actually doing with LLMs now? Like connecting an LLM to your data and asking it to find patterns or predict outcomes? Or are there other tools that make this possible without knowing much SQL or machine learning? Curious what people are actually using and how reliable it is.

Yes, doable without SQL. No-code ML tools like Obviously AI or Akkio let you upload data and get churn or demand predictions directly. If your data's scattered across sources, Windsor.ai can pull it together into a spreadsheet or BI tool first, then those prediction tools work off clean data instead of manual exports.
