Retool now supports Amazon Bedrock for use with Assist. Admins on the Enterprise plan can configure Assist to use Amazon Bedrock as the single model provider for Assist-powered interactions.

Retool designed Assist to use two AI providers by default: OpenAI and Anthropic. Using both providers enables Assist to optimize for speed and quality. However, some customers may need to consolidate AI services with a single provider. To accommodate these customers, Enterprise organizations can configure Assist to work with a single provider.

Retool released some updates and improvements to the Assist experience:

• You can now prompt Assist to write a README for your app. When you're editing an existing app, Assist can also use information from existing READMEs to learn about the app context and improve the quality of changes.
• Assist automatically names apps. When you use Assist to create a new app from a blank canvas, Assist provides a descriptive name.

These changes are live on Retool Cloud. Refer to the edge release notes for information about what features are available to self-hosted organizations.

Retool is excited to announce Assist, your AI-powered partner for app development. Prompt Assist with natural language directly from the app IDE to generate apps, make changes to existing apps, and ask questions about Retool.

Assist can:

• Generate full-stack apps from a prompt using your live production data. Retool scaffolds apps based on your real databases and resources.
• Respect all existing org policies by default—SSO, role-based access control, and data-level permissions. Apps remain secure and access-controlled without any manual configuration.
• Edit components, queries, and styles of your existing apps.
• Answer questions about an existing app, including about the purpose of the app and how it works. Assist can also answer questions about Retool in general.
• Deploy AI-generated apps to production without leaving Retool. Hosting, versioning, and monitoring are built-in for cloud and self-hosted deployments.
