Retool

Retool is a commercial low-code platform for building internal software such as admin panels, dashboards and workflow tools. The vendor says it connects to any database, API or large language model, and it uses a unified engine to build, deploy and manage those tools.

Recent emphasis is on AI: an app builder that turns a prompt into an application with enterprise security and governance built in, options to import code, and the ability to build with AI agents. The product also has a public beta of a command-line tool, a gallery of example apps, and pages by audience and use case. Users can start free or book a demo.

Retool is proprietary software offered as a hosted service with a pricing page; the vendor is also known for offering a self-hosted deployment for organizations with strict data requirements. It suits engineering and operations teams that want to build tools on top of existing data faster than writing them from scratch.
