The Custom Component Challenge kicked off this week! On Tuesday, Angelik Laboy Torres hosted a walkthrough that covered what custom components actually are, what's possible in Retool, how to build and import your own, and how to use the new community GitHub repo to find and share components (available on demand). https://lnkd.in/eYb2CjJj Today at 10am PT / 1pm ET Keanan Koppenhaver will walk through using Claude or Cursor to actually generate and iterate on a custom component live, from scratch. https://lnkd.in/eJ2HqPiW See you there?

Speed is no longer the hard part of building software. On April 29 at 12pm PT, Retool CEO David Hsu and Sequoia Capital Partner Bryan Schreier are sitting down to talk through what happens to enterprise software when building becomes as accessible as prompting: why governance is now the hard problem, how SaaS is being disrupted from below, and what comes next for buyers and builders alike.

Reckitt didn’t want their AI program to end up in a sea of concepts that never scale. That’s why they chose a platform that allows for speed, security, and deep integration with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. The result of choosing Retool? Bespoke AI-powered apps and workflows that hundreds of marketers use to deliver consumer insights 50-60% faster than before. We sat down with Sameen Gul, Global Product Director, Digital & Gen AI and Tewfik Bedreddine, Global VP, Data & Analytics to learn about their journey from strategy to scale.

We are excited to sponsor HumanX in San Francisco, running this week from April 7-9. Planning on attending? Meet us at Booth #108 and see how you can build custom AI apps, workflows, and agents on top of your data. Talk to our team, see Retool in action, and get your questions answered during expo hours. On April 7th, join us at the Agentic AI Pavilion at 1:30pm for a stage session that will share how Retool's platform governs access to real production systems, so that Agents and Workflows can take action and work together on behalf of the user. We hope to see you during the show!

Claude Code to think, Retool to deploy. Our Head Of Internal Tools uses both side by side. For Devon, Claude Code is most effective for generating production application code, working inside an existing codebase, personal projects & solo tools, and rapid prototyping. That gets him 20% of the way there, but what about the last 80%? That last 80% where you want to share your work with the team, or when you run into a new set of problems such as hosting, authentication, permissions, or networking? That's where Retool comes into play. The friction you hit with Claude Code is exactly the set of problems Retool was built to solve. So what are the best ways to use Claude Code and Retool side by side? Read on for an inside look. https://lnkd.in/e28ETDNk

Retool reposted this
If you've ever played NBA2K or Madden, you're very familiar with this screen, but I bet you never expected to see it inside a Retool app. But that's exactly what this custom component is: an NBA2K-style avatar builder where you pick facial features, hair, glasses, beard, and accessories from visual previews. Click the one you want, watch your avatar come together in real time, and export as PNG when you're done (to use in Retool or anywhere else). If you want to build something like this yourself, we're launching a challenge to see just how creative people can get with their custom components along with a ton of resources on how to build custom components into your Retool instance and we would love to have you join us! https://lnkd.in/g2sBQXtS Stil 8 business days until the challenge kicks off, and I've got a few more of these in my back pocket, so stay tuned! 👀
