Leading brands in AI using Retool

Build production-ready AI apps

Production-ready data

Prompt full-stack apps on your live production data—Postgres, Databricks, Salesforce, and more. Apps are scaffolded based on your real schema, roles, and permissions from day one.

Context-aware editing with visual selection

Click on any component, @mention a resource, or select parts of the app to prompt direct changes. Edits are grounded in full app context—no chat-based guessing.

Granular security and role awareness

Generated apps respect existing org policies—SSO, RBAC, and data-level permissions—by default. Apps remain secure without any manual configuration.

Why companies choose Retool

Abstract illustration

AI that understands your business data

Stop rebuilding your data layer for every new tool. Automatically connect to your existing systems—generating apps, workflows, and agents that understand your business context from day one.

Build once, use everywhere

Define your data patterns, business logic, and workflows as trusted, reusable components. Humans and AI build from these shared primitives, making your best practices the foundation every new app inherits.

Enterprise policies, enforced automatically

Platform-wide policies like SSO, audit logging, and compliance are built into every AI app and workflow by default. Admins configure granular permissions at data, app, and space levels.

Concept to completion, zero handoffs

Build, test, and deploy in one governed environment. No context switching, no separate pipelines, no DevOps translation—just working software delivered where you trust it.

Retool Customers
The biggest advantage is that everything is set up in Retool already. Retool lets us equip technical teams to build powerful AI tools themselves without requiring full-stack engineering resources.
Jiri Lnenicka
Principal Product Manager
Retool enables us to efficiently implement our AI services and models for our customers. We can more easily demonstrate how to automate complex enterprise work and truly leverage AI in their organizations.
Sri Elaprolu

Frequently asked questions

We built it into a complete platform, not just a code generator. It understands your data schemas, security policies, and business logic—creating solutions that work within your existing infrastructure from day one.

All AI-generated apps and workflows automatically inherit enterprise security (SSO, RBAC, compliance) plus your team's trusted building blocks—proven queries, components, and workflows that already power your business. You control what data is shared with models and maintain full audit trails.

Yes. Retool supports any model provider and connects to your existing data sources. Work with any model: direct (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), CSP (AWS, Azure), bring your own, and more.

With one-click deployment, you can move from concept to production in minutes. Built-in hosting, versioning, and monitoring eliminate the need for separate DevOps pipelines.
