Retool introduced several features to help Enterprise organizations manage AI token spend when using their own API key for AI resources.

Use the new Get BYOK AI token usage endpoint to measure the number of tokens consumed for each AI resource that uses your own key. You can view the number of tokens consumed by resource, user, and surface area.

In addition, you can also view BYOK AI token usage in Settings. Navigate to the Usage Analytics page, and click the AI tab. You can filter AI usage by model, user, and feature.

You can now build apps with more AI models: Claude Sonnet 5, the GPT-5.6 models (Sol, Terra, and Luna), and Claude Fable 5. Choose a model for each thread in the app builder's Chat tab. Admins can set the organization's default app building provider and model in the AI settings.

Claude Sonnet 5 can be used on paid plans with a Retool-managed key or your own key. The GPT-5.6 models and Claude Fable 5 require you to bring your own key, which is available on the Enterprise plan.

You can now upload files to be used as assets in your app through the Chat tab in the app builder. Previously, uploaded files could only be used as context for the agent.

Common use cases for uploaded files as assets include:

• Embedding PDFs.
• Adding a company logo to the app header.
• Presenting images within the app.

Claude Sonnet 5 is now available on paid plans through Anthropic and Amazon Bedrock. It can be used with AI resource queries and Retool Agents.

You can now trigger workflows from functions in the new app builder. Converting classic apps that trigger workflows is now supported as a result.

To trigger a workflow from your app, open the Chat tab and prompt your agent with the workflow's name.

The triggered workflow is run on behalf of the app's authenticated user.

Claude Fable 5 is now available through Anthropic. It can be used with AI resource queries when you connect Anthropic with your own API key.

Organization admins on Team and Business plans can now purchase additional AI credit packs directly by clicking on Buy credits from Settings > Plans & Billing > under the new AI Credits tab.

Credit packs are sold in increments of 1,000 credits at $100 per pack. Purchased credits are added to your organization's shared pool and are consumed after your monthly allotment runs out, with the oldest (soonest-expiring) pack used first. Credit packs expire at the end of your next monthly billing cycle (between 30–60 days after purchase), depending on where you are in your billing cycle when you buy them.

• If you are billed monthly, your next billing cycle end date is your expiration date.
• If you are billed annually, your monthly billing date is the same day of the month you originally purchased your plan (e.g., if you purchased an annual plan on April 12, credits expire on the 12th of the following month).

When your organization's credits run out, admins will see a banner prompting them to purchase additional credits or upgrade their plan. Users who are not admins will be directed to contact their admin.

Credit pack purchasing is available on cloud plans using Retool-managed keys. Free plan organizations must upgrade to Team or Business to purchase credit packs. Enterprise customers should contact their account executive.

For more information, refer to the AI credits documentation.

You can now use Retool's MCP server to import React apps directly from your agentic coding environment.

Open a React app, and ask Retool to import the app. Retool guides you through the process of selecting the appropriate resources, and sends you a link to the newly imported app in the app builder. From there, you can make tweaks to the generated app, and securely publish the app using the MCP server or from the app builder.

Retool's new app builder now supports importing React apps from external sources, such as Replit, Lovable, and Claude Code, for further refinement and development in Retool.

To import your React app in Retool, generate a .zip file of the code, and select Import React code from the app builder. Learn more about how it works.

Apps created with the new app builder can now be protected and checked into your chosen Source Control Manager (SCM). Source Control lets organizations manage changes using remote SCM providers GitHub, GitLab, AWS CodeCommit, Bitbucket, and Azure Repos. Using this distributed approach, your users can:

• Prevent unwanted changes to apps.
• Work collaboratively and methodically through reviews.
• Edit React code from your preferred development environment.

To get started, first protect your app. Then you can create, publish, and tag new versions.
