I feel Retool can be a great tool for Context Engineering as we can store the context inside the Retool DB.
Any thoughts?

Well, not only the database, but within apps. I think as soon as Retool nails how context can be shared with the new AI agents chat component (see this thread), it will provide an experience for software users similar to what developers experience now with Cursor/Visual studio, i.e. share context to an agent directly from the interface they work in day in/day out. That can be dashboards, CRMs, financial apps, etc. Anything could be passed as context to the agent and it would enable end users massively.

Interesting idea! Retool DB could work for lightweight context storage, especially for prototypes. Just watch out for scaling and retrieval speed if your context grows large.
