Key Differences

Autorun uses advanced AI to understand your business needs and build applications automatically through conversation. Retool is a low-code platform that still requires manual configuration, component arrangement, and JavaScript knowledge.

With Autorun, you simply describe what you need and the AI builds it for you. With Retool, you need to manually configure each component, write queries, and design interfaces through its development environment.

Autorun provides intelligent AI agents that not only build applications but also handle tasks, optimize workflows, and provide business insights. Retool provides the building blocks but requires you to implement all business logic and intelligence yourself.
