Retool

93% of CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs we surveyed are alarmed about vibe-coded apps in their orgs. Today Retool becomes the governed runtime for all of them.

@MicroConf @adrianthedev Wrong bucket 😅 we just launched an AI app builder, but we're so much more than that—namely a platform for securing all building with AI, no matter where it happens. More here: retool.com/blog/retool-la…

@adrianthedev The toolshed is bigger than most founders realize: → No-code (Airtable + Zapier) if your product is basically a smart spreadsheet → Low-code (Bubble, Retool, Avo, n8n) if you can get your hands dirty → AI app builders — impressive demos, but software isn't done in one prompt

Non-technical founder with a SaaS idea? You don't need a dev team. At MicroConf US 2025, Avo founder @adrianthedev made the opposite case: one developer is enough (if you pick the right one). YouTube link in 🧵:

We gave Replit and Retool the same prompt. Same task, two different approaches to identity, connectors, and audit logging. The differences compound fast. retool.com/resources/vide…

Meet the new, AI-native Retool! This Thursday, we take an AI prototype and run it on Retool, where it automatically all the governance policies your business needs to ship trusted production software. June 25, 10am PDT. Sign up → events.retool.com/meet-the-new-r…

Bring your apps into Retool for free until July 1. Full walkthroughs: → Host your Lovable app: retool.com/resources/migr… → Host your Replit app: retool.com/resources/migr…

The governance—permissions, audit logs, SSO, environment separation—lives at the resource layer, not in your app code. The imported app inherits it because it’s connected, not because you configured anything per-app.

You built a tool in Lovable or Replit. It works. Now it needs to run in production, with real access controls and an audit trail. We wrote the migration guides so enterprises can vibe-code securely. 🧵

We just made it easier for enterprise teams to vibe code safely with a brand new building experience. Now, new Enterprise customers who sign by September 30 get AI credits worth up to $10K annually (plus free hosting through July 1 + bonus AI credits on every paid plan).

I typed one sentence. I got back 5 production-grade prompts. One each for Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT Image 2, Seedance 2 and Kling Omni. Then I shipped the app behind it in a day. Here's the full build with ReTool 🧵

@taimurabdaal Thanks Taimur!

Great and thoughtful angle from Retool while everyone else is in a race to the bottom (or maybe top) to be the all-in-one vibe-work platform

Governance can't be something each app implements on its own. When software gets created across 10 tools, 50 teams, and thousands of people who never wrote code before—it has to be a layer underneath all of them. That's what Retool is now → retool.com/blog/from-prom…

SSO, role-based access, environment separation—set at the platform level by an admin, not hardcoded into the app by the builder. Governance survives the builder leaving the company.

Vibe-coded apps have a dirty secret: the app is the easy part. The hard part is everything between localhost and production. Here's what that gap actually looks like, and how we close it. 🧵

While it's true we won't catch underlying business logic errors right now, we are inspecting imported code and doing extremely important things like replacing data access calls with secure versions and vetting obvious bugs. Over time, you'll also see us add the ability for platform owners to define company-blessed business logic to insulate against problems there in the same way we protect data access today. We hope you give it a try!

@svpino Inheriting auth and deploys is genuinely useful. But the vibe-coded bugs that reach users are wrong business logic nobody reviewed, and that imports into Retool just as cleanly as it ran on someone's laptop.

A bunch of companies are banning developers from pushing vibe-coded software to production. Who didn't see this one coming? Vibe-coding is amazing, but we are now realizing what happens when we let anyone put autogenerated slop in front of users. We need something better.

Every app inherits centralized auth, permissions, and data access policies—regardless of where it was built. Every query is logged. Deploy on Retool Cloud, in your VPC, or fully on-prem. Try today and get free hosting through July 1 + bonus AI credits → retool.com/blog/retool-la…

Deploy existing React apps from anywhere—Lovable, Replit, a contractor's repo. Retool maps data connections to your governed resources and applies access controls automatically. No rewrite.
