What it does
PyCaret automates much of the work of building machine-learning models that predict things from data tables. The new version adds a web interface for managing projects, experiments, model versions and monitoring.
It runs on your own computer with Docker. The README says version 4.0 is still a work in progress, and an optional AI helper needs an Anthropic or OpenAI key.
Who it's for
Data analysts and data scientists who want to build prediction models with less code.
Can I use it without coding?
