Retool
Build custom internal apps quickly with data and AI integration.
What is Retool?
Try RetoolRetool is a low-code platform for building and scaling internal apps. With AppGen, you can generate business-ready UIs on your data (in your cloud) and refine them into secure, team-ready tools. Retool also helps you connect to REST APIs and databases, add automations, and build dashboards and CRUD-style interfaces for real users.
What does Retool help you build?
Retool helps teams build internal apps like admin panels, CRUD applications, and dashboards on top of their data. You can also use it to assemble UIs on REST APIs and create tools for real operational workflows, such as customer onboarding, inventory management, logistics tracking, and support use cases.
How does AppGen generate apps from my data?
AppGen is designed to generate apps built for business on your data, in your cloud, and secure by default. After generation, you can keep customizing what you build so it fits your specific environment and use case.
Can I build a UI on top of my APIs and databases?
Yes. Retool lets you drag and drop a UI on top of REST API endpoints, and it connects to many data sources so you can build frontends, dashboards, and admin-style tools. You can also build interfaces for services like Google Sheets, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Firebase, Redis, and more.
Is Retool no-code, or is it better suited to low-code builders?
Retool is low-code. It uses AI-assisted generation (including AppGen) to speed up early building, while still giving you room to refine and customize the app as you go.
What kinds of pre-built templates or UI components are available?
Retool includes pre-made templates, integrations, and components to help you avoid starting from scratch. It also offers pre-built UI building blocks like tables, buttons, and text inputs, plus chart components to help make dashboards more actionable.
How can Retool support AI-powered app experiences?
Retool supports AI-assisted experiences by connecting your apps to AI models and enabling intelligent behavior alongside your data. You can also create custom AI-powered frontends, such as chatbots and dashboards, by connecting AI providers to Retool’s drag-and-drop UI building.
