Low-code platform for building internal tools and apps

Retool keeps folding AI model access into the plan itself.

◆Current state
Retool is shipping a steady stream of AI plumbing: same-week support for new frontier models (GPT 6.1 Sol, Claude Sonnet 5.5), Retool-provided models on the Business plan, and natural-language creation of Postgres and REST resources. Alongside that, it keeps closing deployment gaps with resource environment switching in published apps, custom auth for embedded apps, and frequent self-hosted stable patches.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is to make the AI app-building agent the default way to build in Retool, with model access bundled rather than bring-your-own-key. Enterprise deployment features (environments, embedded auth, self-hosted channels) keep pace so that agent-built apps can go to production in governed setups.
◆Prediction
Expect Retool-provided models to spread beyond the Business plan and the app-building agent to cover more resource types, with new frontier models added within days of their launch.

    Build resource environment switching for published apps

    Published apps can now switch between configured resource environments. That closes a staging-vs-production gap for teams running Retool apps in real operations.

    Retool-provided AI models on the Business plan

    Business-plan organizations can now use Retool-provided AI models for app building, without supplying their own keys. That lowers the barrier to the app-building agent and moves model costs into Retool's pricing.
