## Overview
Retool is an AI-powered low-code platform that enables businesses to build, deploy, and manage internal tools such as admin panels, dashboards, and workflow automations. The platform allows developers and business teams to create production-ready applications quickly by dragging pre-built components onto a canvas, connecting them to databases, APIs, or LLMs, and customizing with code when needed. Retool stands out by emphasizing enterprise-grade security and governance from day one, eliminating the need for security audits or IT overhauls after deployment. The platform is designed for teams that want to move fast without sacrificing compliance or security. One limitation is that Retool is categorized as low-code rather than no-code, which means some technical knowledge is often required for advanced customization and integration work.
