About Knapsack is a digital production platform that connects design and code into a real-time system of record, enabling enterprise teams to build, govern, and deliver digital products at scale. It offers dynamic documentation that automatically updates when code changes occur, ensuring that documentation remains current and reducing maintenance overhead. Knapsack's design tokens and theming capabilities allow for the connection of brand decisions to style implementation in product UIs, ensuring a cohesive brand experience across portfolios. Knapsack's component and pattern management provides a birds-eye view of components across design, code, and documentation, ensuring consistency and alignment as systems scale. Its prototyping and composition features enable teams to use production-ready components to prototype and share UIs, allowing for exploration, validation, and testing with code that ships. Knapsack also offers permissions and controls to meet the complex workflow.		About Retool is the AI-native enterprise app development platform where teams build and ship production-ready apps — at AI speed, with enterprise governance built in. Describe what you need and get a working app, import React-based apps from Lovable, Replit, or Claude Code, or connect your AI agent via MCP. However your team builds, every app lands in Retool with RBAC, SSO, audit logging, and your existing permissions already in place. Retool connects to databases, APIs, LLMs, and external tools out of the box. Teams can build AI agents, dashboards, workflows, and full-stack apps — with a visual editor for speed and direct code access for precision. Trusted by over 10,000 organizations including Amazon, Stripe, DoorDash, and OpenAI to get AI-built apps safely to production.
