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.		About Soft-Machine is an AI-native development environment designed to help users build, deploy, and operate autonomous software systems through natural language and agent-based workflows. It provides a unified interface where users can describe applications, workflows, or tasks, and the system translates those instructions into working software by orchestrating AI agents that handle coding, infrastructure, and execution. It focuses on reducing the gap between idea and implementation by abstracting traditional development complexity, enabling agents to generate code, manage dependencies, configure environments, and iterate on applications without requiring manual setup. It emphasizes continuous interaction between humans and AI, where users can refine outputs conversationally while the system maintains context and adapts behavior over time.
