About
Retool AI brings artificial intelligence capabilities to Retool low-code platform for building internal applications. Retool itself is known for enabling developers to build admin panels, dashboards, and internal tools quickly by connecting to existing databases and APIs through a visual drag-and-drop interface. Retool AI adds AI-powered features directly into this workflow: you can generate UI components, queries, and workflows from natural language descriptions, create AI-powered features like content generation or data analysis within your internal tools, and use AI to help debug and optimize your Retool applications. For example instead of manually configuring a table component with specific columns and formatting, you can describe what data you want to display and Retool AI generates the component, query, and formatting automatically. Retool AI also enables building AI features into the applications themselves: add a Summarize button to a customer record view, a Generate Report action to a dashboard, or a Smart Search that understands natural language queries. The AI features leverage multiple LLM providers including OpenAI and Anthropic, with enterprise-grade security and data handling. Retool AI targets development teams that build many internal tools and want to accelerate development with AI assistance. Compared to no-code AI app builders like Dify that focus on AI-specific applications, Retool AI augments a general-purpose internal tool platform with AI capabilities, making it ideal for teams that need both traditional internal tools and AI features in one platform.
