Retool has long been the platform teams turn to for building internal software fast. At this year’s Retool Summit, they announced a big step forward – a new generation of AI-powered capabilities designed to take that speed to another level.
They call it enterprise AppGen. Now, enterprises can use Retool to generate production-ready apps directly on their own data – with governance, security, and compliance built in from the start. Assist is one of the first AppGen capabilities available in public beta today, with more AI-powered features to come. You can describe what you need, and the Assist agent will generate the queries, UI, and workflows needed to build a full-stack internal tool, ready to deploy on Retool’s battle-tested platform.

AppGen is Here: The Way to Build Internal Software for the Enterprise
Retool’s AppGen capabilities are approachable but powerful.. Enterprises are eager to benefit from faster code generation – but for it to safely adhere to production standards, generation must happen inside the enterprise environment itself, not in disconnected sandboxes. Apps and automations need to be created on real enterprise data, with the right schemas, permissions, and governance already applied.
Retool’s platform is already trusted by thousands of companies to build internal tools. Every app generated inherits the organization’s security posture from the start, while giving builders (both engineers and domain experts)remarkable speed and simplicity. Instead of dedicating a large team for months, a buildercan now have a working app in minutes.
This resolves the long-standing trade-off between moving fast with packaged tools and maintaining the flexibility of custom code. With AI layered directly into Retool, enterprises can now have both.
From Prompt to Production-Ready Internal App with Retool Assist
Retool is investing heavily in expanded AppGen capabilities, but the star of today’s launch is Assist – an agent-like feature that builds internal tools alongside you, with enterprise privacy and standards already in place:
- It builds directly on your production data sources, including databases, APIs, governed schemas – so what you generate is instantly relevant
- It respects your organization’s security posture from the start. SSO, RBAC, audit trails, and compliance policies are applied automatically
- It acts contextually, wiring up queries, components, and workflows with awareness of your existing data models
- It delivers software that’s deployable on day one, running on Retool’s managed runtime
Assist is only the first step: features like built-in testing, shared logic libraries, and data-level permissions are on the roadmap to enhance Retool’s foundation of sound governance.
