Build AI-powered apps and workflows in minutes. Use AI building blocks with any LLM to summarize text, classify images, and more. Create custom chatbots or AI apps on your docs, pdfs and SaaS apps faster.
Hey Product Hunt - I’m Jamie from the team who built Retool AI.
AI saw massive hype recently with the introduction of powerful LLMs. But while we were hoping for AI automation to deliver real business value, all we really got were simple chatbots, wrappers, and demoware.
Building AI workflows from scratch can be a pain. We tried building a custom AI chatbot for our support team. Our engineers needed to stitch together low-level libraries, vector databases, and custom integrations with code to ship anything useful. To move faster, we tried using off-the-shelf AI products, but they didn’t provide the flexibility needed to ship apps that could solve our specific problems.
That’s why we’ve been hard at work building Retool AI to help you:
✅ Build custom AI-powered apps and workflows
✅ Iterate fast with LLMs and your own data (APIs, DBs, SaaS apps, etc)
✅ Ship to users securely with permissions to control data access
With Retool AI, you can connect to any LLM provider, build apps and workflows visually and with code, and publish to users—all in just a few minutes.
Feature highlights:
⚡ AI Actions are pre-built blocks that let you interact with any LLM in your app or workflow in just a few clicks. Use AI Actions to summarize text, classify images, extract entities, and more.
🔌 LLM integrations: OpenAI’s gpt-4 & gpt-3.5-turbo are available out of the box. You can enter your API key, and swap in other LLMs (Anthropic, Azure, Cohere, etc) any time.
🌐 Retool Vectors helps you build data-aware AI chatbots in 30 seconds. Upload PDFs, crawl websites, and connect SaaS tools (Slack, Confluence, Notion, etc) into an LLM-powered database without any code. Ask questions about your data & get helpful answers instantly.
🔒 Security (SSO, version control, RBAC, audit logs): Retool helps control data access for the right users and LLMs to ensure sensitive data is protected at all times. Self-host Retool in your network, and use open-source LLMs like Llama2.
🤖 AI-enhanced DevTools help you to code, query, and debug with natural language. Ask our AI assistant questions, and it’ll generate code that just works alongside your app’s components and data sources.
AI has been a lot of fun, but it’s time to go beyond wrappers. Product Hunters can use Retool AI for free at retool.com/ai. We can’t wait to see what you build and please drop your feedback in the comments!
