Lightly: About Develop your apps efficiently with Multilingual cloud IDE - Lightly. Create high-quality code in no time with AI-generated code and collaborative development features. Lightly is a powerful cloud IDE that supports multiple programming languages, including Java, Python, C++, HTML, JavaScript. Write, run, and debug code on iPad, anywhere, anytime. The AI-generated code feature helps you quickly generate code. Collaborative development enables easy team collaboration in real-time. Lightly can deploy and host your projects without managing infrastructures. We'll provide project images to efficiently help you deploy on AWS, Azure, GCP, or any other cloud provider. You focus on your creativity and ideas, and let the AI programming assistant do the rest for you!		Retool: About Securely deploy vibe-coded apps in one governed platform. Build in Retool, import from tools like Claude Code, Replit, or Lovable, or connect via MCP. However your team builds, every app ships safely, with governance built in. People across your organization are already vibe-coding internal tools with no SSO, no RBAC, no audit logs, and no connection to your existing data controls. Retool is where secure vibe coding happens by default. Build from scratch, import an app from another AI builder, or connect an agent via MCP — governance lives in the platform, not in each individual app.
