Build editable secure schema-aware dashboards via plain text
Build production-ready apps from natural language using your real data, in your cloud, with enterprise security and governance built in. Start building with AI that knows your stack.
Hey Product Hunt! Keanan here from the Retool team.
If you’ve used Retool before, you know it’s a powerful way to build internal tools fast—drag-and-drop UI, built-in queries, full control with code when you want it. Today, we’re making that flow even faster—with AI built directly into the editor.
You can now build apps with natural language in Retool. Just describe what you want—“Create a dashboard from my order data in my Postgres database showing unshipped orders over $5k, with filters and alert rules”—and Retool will generate a fully functional app, wired up to your data, abiding by your security requirements, with components, queries, and logic in place.
There are a lot of AI dev tools out there, so here's a quick rundown of what we think makes AI AppGen different in Retool:
On your actual data. PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Salesforce, Databricks, and 100+ other integrations, no glue code needed.
In your cloud: Deploy where and how you prefer, securely connected to your systems.
Secure by default. Every app inherits your SSO, RBAC structure, and comes with audit logs wired and ready to go.
This is only the first of a growing set of AppGen capabilities across Retool's platform. Alongside the prompting support, we’ve already rolled out one-click README generation, with more features on the way in the next few weeks 👀
Try it for free by building a prompt right on retool.com! These capabilities are available on all Retool plans: from Free to Enterprise, cloud to self-hosted.
We’ll be hanging out in the comments all day—excited to hear what you think! What other AI features are you eager to see come to Retool?
