Retool is a low-code/AI-assisted development platform that exposes a drag-and-drop app builder, a workflow/automation engine, a managed database, and an AI agent framework — all on a unified governed runtime. Apps connect natively to SQL/NoSQL databases, REST/GraphQL APIs, and cloud data warehouses, with write-back support. The platform offers self-hosting via Docker/Kubernetes for air-gapped or compliance-sensitive deployments, SSO/SCIM, role-based access control (RBAC), and audit logs. AppGen uses LLM-based code generation to produce Retool apps from natural language prompts, while AI Primitives allow developers to embed vector search, LLM calls, and agent workflows directly into custom apps.
