How we built AI-assisted development into Retool

Retool's enterprise AppGen platform is revolutionizing software development by empowering both domain experts and engineers to build customized solutions using AI, while adhering to enterprise standards. The platform's AI capabilities are designed to understand existing applications, allowing for collaborative development where AI assists users without replacing them, thereby ensuring production-quality outputs. It utilizes a format called ToolScript to make applications LLM-readable, facilitating intelligent edits by managing context efficiently and ensuring data connections are handled securely. By implementing a human-in-the-loop approach, Retool maintains control over changes and enhances learning opportunities, all while prioritizing security with features like SSO, RBAC, and data-level permissions. This ensures that applications are generated with a structure that respects users' permissions and data security, allowing for safe and efficient AI-assisted app building on users' existing cloud infrastructure.
