This will always depend on how fancy you need your ML to be. But I had a similar problem some time ago where I wanted to give persons who knew very little programming something more advanced than dumb Excel charts to filter, analyze and explore their data.

I ended up with KNIME: https://www.knime.com

You can create pretty advanced data selections and analysis by "programming" logic units by an interactive interface and mostly simple configurations. They have free versions that are pretty OK, that you can run on your desktop, which contains basic to medium ML methods. It worked in my case, maybe it can work for you too.

Thanks. I looked at their site and it looks interesting. I’d need to convince my IT to let me install it. May I ask what’s their pricing like (their website just says “contact us”)? Or is it generally alright to use the free version?

In the past I used the free desktop version and it was sufficient. They used to have specialized addons, which you then paid for (there are specialized chemistry nodes I know). So at first you can download the free version and see where that takes you. I honestly doubt it’s all that expensive if you want their corporate support and special addons. It’s a nice small company.

Sure. I just wanted to be sure they are alright for it to be used free-of-charge, without limitations, in a commercial setting. And if we eventually need corporate-level support, I’m sure we won’t mind paying a reasonable fee.
