What is Retool?
Retool is a low-code platform for building internal tools and business applications quickly by connecting to databases, APIs, and other data sources. Developers use a drag and drop interface with a library of pre-built components such as tables, charts, and forms, and can describe what they want in natural language or edit the underlying React code directly for full control.
The platform supports scheduled jobs, webhooks, and AI agents that combine language model reasoning with real tools like APIs and databases to automate repetitive processes. Security features include SSO through Okta, Google, or SAML, granular role-based permissions, and audit logs. Retool can run fully in the cloud or be self-hosted, and separates pricing between builders, who create apps, and end users, who only use published apps.
