Hey Product Hunt - I’m Jamie from the team who built Retool AI. AI saw massive hype recently with the introduction of powerful LLMs. But while we were hoping for AI automation to deliver real business value, all we really got were simple chatbots, wrappers, and demoware. Building AI workflows from scratch can be a pain. We tried building a custom AI chatbot for our support team. Our engineers needed to stitch together low-level libraries, vector databases, and custom integrations with code to ship anything useful. To move faster, we tried using off-the-shelf AI products, but they didn’t provide the flexibility needed to ship apps that could solve our specific problems. That’s why we’ve been hard at work building Retool AI to help you: ✅ Build custom AI-powered apps and workflows ✅ Iterate fast with LLMs and your own data (APIs, DBs, SaaS apps, etc) ✅ Ship to users securely with permissions to control data access With Retool AI, you can connect to any LLM provider, build apps and workflows visually and with code, and publish to users—all in just a few minutes. Feature highlights: ⚡ AI Actions are pre-built blocks that let you interact with any LLM in your app or workflow in just a few clicks. Use AI Actions to summarize text, classify images, extract entities, and more. 🔌 LLM integrations: OpenAI’s gpt-4 & gpt-3.5-turbo are available out of the box. You can enter your API key, and swap in other LLMs (Anthropic, Azure, Cohere, etc) any time. 🌐 Retool Vectors helps you build data-aware AI chatbots in 30 seconds. Upload PDFs, crawl websites, and connect SaaS tools (Slack, Confluence, Notion, etc) into an LLM-powered database without any code. Ask questions about your data & get helpful answers instantly. 🔒 Security (SSO, version control, RBAC, audit logs): Retool helps control data access for the right users and LLMs to ensure sensitive data is protected at all times. Self-host Retool in your network, and use open-source LLMs like Llama2. 🤖 AI-enhanced DevTools help you to code, query, and debug with natural language. Ask our AI assistant questions, and it’ll generate code that just works alongside your app’s components and data sources. AI has been a lot of fun, but it’s time to go beyond wrappers. Product Hunters can use Retool AI for free at retool.com/ai. We can’t wait to see what you build and please drop your feedback in the comments!

Looks interesting. Would it be helpful in analyzing financial data?

@viktoria_zaiets Yes, we have text classifiers and extractors functionality that I think will play nicely with financial data (detect whether a transaction is a fraud, extract information out of customers, etc) https://docs.retool.com/ai/conce...

Retool AI looks like a powerful automation tool. What industries do you see benefiting the most from it?
Huy Pham
Maker
@chalie_clark Good question, we've been seeing different use cases from different industries but I think tasks that involve a human in the loop (HITL) would benefit from Retool AI tremendously. Imagine instead of having someone who has to manually collect, filter, and fill out forms, Retool AI can pre-populate the fields automatically and you just have to verify whether the generated field is correct.

Super useful tool! Thank you for sharing :)
Iryna
It sounds great but it's disturbing at the same time. Do we even need programmers now? Or will it become the profession of the past? Anyways, congrats guys and good luck!
Philipp Shay
Congratulations! You have an amazing tool. Now, I'll try using it to enhance my third project.

Hey there! I'm impressed with Retool AI's ability to build AI apps and workflows in minutes. It's incredible how you can use AI building blocks with any LLM to summarize text and classify images. I'm curious to know how extensive is the library of AI building blocks available. Are there plans to expand it in the future? Also, what customization options are available for creating chatbots or AI apps on docs, PDFs, and SaaS apps? I recently came across a resource called "DeepAI" (https://deepai.org/) that offers various AI models and APIs. It might be worth exploring to expand the capabilities of Retool AI. I look forward to hearing more about your plans for Retool AI and how it can revolutionize AI development!

@alex_kachalov At Retool, we think a lot about building blocks in general (many people would describe Retool as "lego builder" software). For this launch, I believe we have the majority of the building blocks and customizations you need to build chatbots and AI apps (https://docs.retool.com/ai/conce...). We are just getting started (there are some interesting work in the lab). Stay tuned!
