ToolJet is an open-source low-code platform for building internal applications — providing drag-and-drop UI building, database connections, workflow automation, and AI copilot assistance for engineering teams and business users creating internal tools. ToolJet AI Copilot is the AI assistant — generating JavaScript transformations from natural language, writing SQL queries from descriptions, and suggesting workflow automation steps. The open-source nature allows complete code inspection and customisation — teams can extend ToolJet's capabilities, add custom components, and integrate with proprietary systems without vendor dependency. Workflows provides visual automation — no-code workflow builder connecting triggers, conditions, and actions for automating business processes within internal tools. Multi-page Applications enable building complex multi-screen internal tools — not just single-page dashboards but multi-step workflows, data management systems, and operational applications. Database Browser provides a built-in database — ToolJet DB built on PostgreSQL enables teams to store data within ToolJet applications without connecting to an external database for simple data management needs. 50+ Datasource Connectors cover databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis), APIs, SaaS tools (Stripe, Airtable, Google Sheets), and cloud services. Role-Based Access Control manages who can view, edit, and use different parts of applications — essential for production internal tools with different user permissions. With growing open-source community adoption and enterprise customers self-hosting, ToolJet validates as a primary open-source Retool and Appsmith alternative.
Tooljet AI runs as llm assistant software built around text and code workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and self-hosted, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
The capabilities that matter most for teams evaluating Tooljet AI.
