AI visibility for Enterprise

Retool introduced several features to help Enterprise organizations manage AI usage.

Use the new centralized settings page, AI visibility, to view AI credit usage and BYOK AI token usage. Navigate to Settings, and select Retool managed keys or Bring your own key from the dropdown at the top of the page. You can filter AI usage by instance, model, user, and feature.

note

This page is available on Enterprise plans. Admins can access it, and other users can access it with delegated Manage billing and Manage usage analytics permissions. Available views depend on the user’s permissions.

Enterprise organizations can also use the new Get AI credit usage endpoint to measure the number of credits consumed for each AI resource that uses a Retool-managed key. You can view the number of credits consumed by resource, user, and surface area.

Improved performance of app building agent

Retool made signficant improvements to the efficiency and performance of the app building agent. Builders will notice faster agent responses and lower AI credit consumption, especially on long-running building sessions. These improvements can result in up to 50% fewer credits consumed.

BYOK AI token management

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.

New models for building apps

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.

Upload files as app assets

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.
note

This change applies only to apps built using the new app builder, not to classic apps.

Trigger workflows from apps

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.

Update my app so that the Customer Feedback table retrieves data using the Retrieve Survey Feedback workflow.
Create a new app that tracks our quarterly sales KPIs. For the data, use the Calculate Conversion Rate workflow as well as the lifetime_value and quota_attainment tables in @Retool Database.

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