Automation technologies: free constructor for trading robots

I’ve been experimenting with different trading strategies for a while, mostly manual stuff, but recently I started thinking about automation. The problem is I’m not really into coding, so every time I try to figure out how to build a bot from scratch I end up overwhelmed. A friend mentioned some platforms now have a “constructor” where you can just pick blocks and create a robot without needing to program. Has anyone actually tried this in real trading? Does it save time, or is it just another gimmick to lure traders in?
