Improvements to app generation using Assist
Retool made significant updates that improve Assist's app generation capabilities:
- Improved quality of app generation. Assist has an improved ability to successfully set a wider set of properties across a wider set of components.
- Quicker app generation. Generating an app from scratch is approximately 20% faster.
- Better token efficiency, especially for app editing. Token use has decreased by approximately 40-50%, depending on the change type. Users will notice a decrease in the number of context window issues they encounter.
- Improved support for building forms and using repeatable components inside apps.
This change is currently rolling out to cloud instances and will be available to self-hosted instances in an upcoming edge release.
