About Retool
Retool fills in its AI-native React app builder
Retool's recent work orbits its new app builder, which lets teams generate production-ready React apps from natural language, MCP-compatible coding agents, or imported React code. The latest entries fill in that builder with React import and app protection, while the rest is admin-console reorganization and routine self-hosted release-channel updates.
