Retool Assist

Retool Assist (the AI app generator inside Retool) can be configured to use a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint on self-hosted Retool deployments. Pointing it at Corveil keeps Retool prompts subject to your organisation's auth, spend caps, and audit log.

Mode

Direct mode only. Self-hosted Retool only.

1. Set environment variables on your Retool deployment

bash
AI_PROXY_BASE_URL=https://your-corveil-host/v1
AI_PROXY_API_KEY=sk-citadel-your-key-here
AI_PROXY_MODEL=or-gpt-5.1

Variable names may differ slightly between Retool versions — consult the self-hosted configuration reference for the exact keys.

2. Restart Retool and try Assist

Once Retool is restarted, every Assist prompt is sent to Corveil. Confirm in the Corveil dashboard or logs.

Caveats

  • Retool Cloud uses Retool's hosted AI provider — this configuration only applies to self-hosted Retool
  • Some Assist features may require specific model capabilities (function calling, large context); pick a model accordingly
