Start her out on something like Retool and help her hack together tools that she would find useful.

Why retool? That’s way too complex for someone who can’t code. Better start with something more NoCode and then figure a way to move to low code

I think no-code tools end up teaching people a new, crappy programming language expressed via UI. It's a coding alternative, not coding appetizer.

Retool is very low-code if you're mostly hitting APIs and/or have someone to help you with initial transformational, and it ultimately using text/code to wire things together.
