Retool provides a comprehensive platform for developing AI-powered business applications, automated workflows, and intelligent agents on top of enterprise data infrastructure. The platform enables teams to build custom AI apps directly on live production data sources including Postgres, Databricks, Salesforce, and other systems, with apps automatically scaffolded based on real schemas, roles, and permissions. Context-aware editing allows developers to prompt changes by selecting components, mentioning resources, or targeting specific parts of applications, with all edits grounded in full app context.

The platform supports multi-step AI workflow orchestration, chaining together AI actions, data transformations, and business logic with built-in monitoring and audit trails for every execution. Organizations can deploy intelligent AI agents that handle customer support, data analysis, content generation, and other processes by automating reasoning over live data sources with appropriate guardrails for responsible access control. All AI-generated solutions inherit existing organizational policies including SSO, RBAC, and data-level permissions by default without manual configuration.

Retool offers one-click RAG capabilities to add contextual data to model calls, extends support for any model provider including direct access to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, cloud service providers like AWS and Azure, or custom models. The platform provides enterprise-wide governance with platform APIs, independent workspaces for team management, and deployment flexibility through both cloud-hosted and self-hosted options. Companies can build and deploy production-ready AI applications in minutes with built-in hosting, versioning, and monitoring while maintaining full audit trails and security compliance.
