Retool
Build custom internal apps quickly with data and AI integration.
What is Retool?
Try RetoolRetool helps teams build custom internal apps that connect to their own data and services, so business workflows don’t have to wait on engineering. With AppGen, you can generate a starting app in your cloud that’s secure by default, then refine it for your specific environment. Teams can also add workflows, AI-assisted features, analytics, and operational interfaces as they scale.
What can you build with Retool?
Retool is for building apps and automations that your business actually runs on, connected to your own data and deployed in your own infrastructure. Teams use it to replace internal tools they’d otherwise wait months to build, including app experiences, dashboards, and operational interfaces.
How does AppGen generate an app from my data?
AppGen generates business-ready apps on your data in your cloud with secure-by-default behavior. After the initial generation, you can keep refining what’s created so the app fits your environment and use case.
Can I connect Retool apps to databases and external apps?
Yes. You can connect to databases and external apps, plus REST API endpoints, and build UIs on top of those data sources. Those connections can be used to create dashboards, frontends, and internal tools.
Is Retool low-code or no-code?
Retool is low-code. It uses AI-assisted generation to speed up early app creation, and then you can customize and refine the generated output with component-level control.
What are agents in Retool, and how are they billed?
Agents are AI-powered workers that use large language models to complete tasks, make decisions, and automate workflows autonomously. They’re billed hourly and don’t draw from the monthly AI credit pool.
Does Retool support security features like SSO and self-hosting?
Retool is designed for regulated environments, with role-based access controls and audit logging. Depending on plan, it also supports SAML/OpenID Connect SSO, independent workspaces, and full self-hosting.
