Retool is building a new type of development platform that combines the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, making it dramatically faster to build internal tools. The company is looking to solve the problem of companies not having adequate resources to properly invest in internal tools, leading to old and clunky internal software or users stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows.
