ML is still mostly used by tech companies, but non-technical people are often those that would benefit the most from it, e.g. realtors training small models to get better house estimates, marketing folks optimizing their ad campaigns, Shopify sellers sourcing new products, etc.
Existing no-code ML solutions are quite expensive and way too complex for small companies: long sign-up flow, require you to read 3 tutorials and go through 26 steps, spin up cloud servers, learn a lot of jargon... and the UX is often optimized for technical people, not digital marketers or Shopify seller.
ML Console takes a fresh shot at this problem: 100% client-side ML training. This is enabled by modern web technologies (WASM, WebGL), which allow us to process data and train models with a minor performance overhead.
AFAIK, this is the fastest way to train an ML model compared to all other solutions (cloud-based or not):
1) No lengthy boilerplate code for every new project.
2) No downloads.
3) No sign-ups or credit-card checks.
4) No lengthy tutorials.
5) No need to spin-up cloud instances and share data back-and-forth between the client and the backend.
Best of all, this means we never see your data, as all computations run locally. This also allows us to be cheaper than all our competitors => for free :) we'll provide a subscription service offering more advanced features later on.
We're still very early stage, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
