Retool

Same prompt, two builders. We gave Replit and Retool the same task, then watched how their approaches to identity, connectors, and audit logging diverged. (Spoiler: the governance gap gets wide) Watch the full comparison: https://lnkd.in/dHumBejn

We love seeing what you build in Retool! You still have a few days to host your apps for free ⏳ try it today → https://lnkd.in/dr8k3sur

That SaaS replacement you vibe coded doesn’t automatically bring governance with it. New builders can’t prompt their way into proper version control, audit logs, or access controls, and IT can’t account for the 60% of builders working in the shadows. Retool CEO David Hsu sat down with Sequoia Capital’s Bryan Schreier to talk through why governance should be living in the platform, not the process, and what that would look like in practice.

Meet the new, AI-native Retool! This Thursday June 25 at 10:00am PDT, Keanan Koppenhaver will walk through the new Retool live. He'll demo how you can take an AI-generated prototype—something your team built in Codex, Claude Code, or even just a spreadsheet or screenshot—and run it on Retool where it automatically inherits all the governance policies your business needs to ship trusted production software. Here's what else we'll cover: → A tour of the new app builder canvas, chat, code, and data panels. → Building and editing apps via MCP using tools like Claude Code and Cursor. → Turning files, PDFs, and screenshots into production-ready internal apps. → How to safely bring AI-generated prototypes into the enterprise with real data connections.

You built something in Lovable or Replit. Now it needs to live in production with real permissions, audit logs, and access controls. Your vibe coding needs security. You can take that app and host it directly in Retool. Just drop in a zip file with the React code, an agent reads the project structure, matches data needs against existing resources (or helps you connect new ones), and rewrites the logic against governed Retool resources. For Lovable apps, that means replacing the Supabase layer with actual connections to your data ecosystem. For Replit apps, it handles the Replit-specific package scaffolding. You don’t have to rely on each builder to get governance right on their own. Data permissions, audit logging, SSO, and environment separation are defined at the platform level. The imported app inherits the same controls as every other app in the workspace. We’re offering free hosting until July 1: → Host your Lovable app: https://lnkd.in/d6tzhkvA → Host your Replit app: https://lnkd.in/dQK4KYST

Yesterday, we made it easier for enterprises to vibe code safely with a complete reimagining of the Retool platform. New Enterprise customers who sign by September 30 get AI credits worth up to $10K annually. How do we keep it all secure from prompt to production? Check out our deep dive: https://lnkd.in/dGvPPvtS

We asked 300+ CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs about vibe-coded apps. 93% said they're alarmed. Today we're launching what they asked for. What they told us: their teams are building more software than ever—in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor—and none of it has authentication, access controls, or an audit trail. “It works on localhost” say the non-engineers. But that last mile of software development is exactly what’s hard. Today we're launching a new Retool: a single governed runtime where you can deploy software from any of those tools—with authentication, permissions, and data governance enforced automatically. Here's what's new: → Deploy anything, build from any AI coding tool. Take any React app—from Lovable, Replit, Claude Code, a local repo—and deploy it on Retool. Build and deploy directly from Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex via MCP. You set up data connections in one place, and all data access will go through one place, all governable by an admin. → Governed by default. Every app inherits centralized authentication, role-based access controls, and data access policies—none of it lives in the app code. Every query is logged. Deploy on Retool Cloud, in your VPC, or fully on-prem. Same governance layer everywhere. Try it today—free hosting through July 1, plus bonus AI credits on every paid plan. New Enterprise plan customers who sign by September 30, 2026 get AI credits worth up to $10,000 annually. More about what we launched → https://lnkd.in/dsqgjVAJ

AI models optimize for “does it work,” not “is it safe.” Retool’s Head of Engineering Ryan Wong wrote about why the security model enterprise software has depended on for decades breaks down when anyone can generate an app, and shares what has to change at the infrastructure level before vibe-coded apps can reach production safely → https://lnkd.in/daC3Amy6

We’re thrilled to hear about the success our customers are seeing with our new integrations with Lakebase and Agent Bricks. As a launch partner, this is an exciting milestone in our partnership that speaks for itself, but we think Shanku Niyogi, SVP of Product at Databricks, said it best: “The future of enterprise AI is grounded in trust and transparency. Retool has become a critical part of how Databricks customers put AI to work across their enterprise. By expanding our partnership to include Lakebase and Agent Bricks, we've unlocked new ways for teams to turn insight into action without sacrificing governance." Read the full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/dfPsVAQX Thank you to our customers, Shanku, and the entire Databricks team for the partnership!
