# Building AI-powered apps for business Source: [https://openai.com/index/retool/](https://openai.com/index/retool/) “OpenAI is setting the bar for rapid innovation,” said Cory Wilkerson, Engineering Lead at Retool\. “Through OpenAI, we’re able to equip Retool builders with an entirely new category of smart, LLM\-assisted building blocks\. The biggest transformation I’ve seen is that applications that felt static or transactional before can now be ‘activated’—there’s a new layer of intelligence that we can bring into apps that just wasn’t accessible before\.” Over the coming months, Retool will continue to expand the pre\-built AI Actions available in the product and develop dozens more app templates to help businesses further accelerate the adoption of AI\.
