[gentle music] Support for the show comes from Retool. Too many companies run critical operations on duct tape spreadsheets, Slack workflows, and whatever else they could cobble together. Not because they want to, because building internal tools means weeks of waiting on someone else's backlog. That's where Retool comes in. Build custom internal tools just by describing what you need. Prompt something like, "Build me a revenue dashboard for our Salesforce data," and Retool actually builds it on your company's data in your cloud with enterprise security built in. Go to retool.com/pivot. We all need to retool how we build software.
