Of course Azure is a __much__ more complex service, but I am currently working in a somehow similar project:

https://www.datapal.io

The main goal of this project is to make it easy for people without knowledge in predictive analytics to use their stored data in order to make predictions.

__It is still a very early prototype__, therefore the "predictive power" is not great yet, and all kind of bugs are expected.

I have a lot of ideas on how to improve the service and your feedback would be really appreciated in order to prioritize the next steps!

Thanks!

Sounds very exciting! This space is getting a bit crowded though (see http://www.quora.com/Who-are-the-main-competitors-to-the-Goo...). How would you differentiate Datapal from competitors such as BigML, Predictobot, etc.?
Hey, thanks for your interest! Well, the market is very big and I think so far all the competitors use different approaches. DataPal will soon include a number of features that will make it more different. Stay tuned! ;)
I've thought about doing this myself, but it's a lot of work. I applaud your effort. I have a lot of experience with internet marketing, perhaps I can help out.
Hey Dan, I've written a book about services that abstract away the complexities of ML: http://louisdorard.com/machine-learning-book I can use all the help to educate people to ML and what they could be building :) Let me know what you think!
