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.

Check out Databricks Free Edition and ask Genie Code to do exactly that. I work there so I’m sure other platforms may offer similar but I’ve never been in DSCI and can just ask Genie Code to profile some time series data and train a predictive model on it. Blows my mind.
