Retool 2025 Feature Releases: AI, Multipage Apps, Agents & More

Instruction

In 2025, Retool ramped up its platform with major updates that empower teams to build faster, more secure, and smarter internal tools. From smarter AI tools like Agents and app generation to infrastructure upgrades like multipage apps and theme localization—Retoolers helps you navigate what matters. Here’s everything Retool released between January and August 2025, broken down clearly and professionally.

Q1 2025 Release: Retool Q1 Feature Rollout

In March 2025, Retool launched the Q1 release, delivering foundational upgrades:

  • Multipage apps (default) — Apps now load faster (about 27% faster) and are structured into pages automatically, improving organization and performance.
  • Component localization (public beta) — UI components can now reflect seven languages depending on user locale.
  • Visual improvements — New Cascader components and theme-based shadow elevation add depth and polish.
  • Enterprise deployment tools (private beta) — Pre-deployment validation, Git-based workflow support, and multi-instance releases enhance enterprise readiness.
  • Workflows & AI integrations — Public beta of multi-step workflows, wait blocks, and parallel execution paths. AI connections broadened to models like GPT and Anthropic.

AI-Powered Features

AI App Generation (April 2025)

Retool added AI app generation powered by structured UI components instead of raw code. Simply describe what the app does, and Retool assembles working scaffold with tables, forms, filters, etc.

Benefit: Reduces setup time dramatically and enforces UI stability.

Retool Agents (July 2025)

Retool Agents let you automate workflows using AI models and logic. Integrated as bots in Retool, they can triage tickets, send reports, or trigger downstream actions—automatically.

RetoolGPT & Model Flexibility

Earlier in the year, model selection syntax improvements (provider::model) and AI embedding allowed fine-grained control of LLM usage in Retool workflows.

Enterprise Features & Partnerships

  • Databricks Emerging Partner of the Year (June 2025) — Signals growing usage of Retool for AI-driven analytics and dashboards.
  • Enhanced deployment workflow — Git sync, pre-deployment checks, and environment controls now support complex enterprise release workflows.
