ToolJet AI

Build with AI

With ToolJet, you can build business applications effortlessly using natural language. Whether you're starting from scratch or enhancing an existing app, ToolJet AI accelerates development by generating UI, queries, and data bindings; so your team ships internal tools faster.

Two Ways to Build with AI

Pick the one that matches where you want to work

The ToolJet home page offers two entry points, and they are backed by two different systems:

✨

Start with a prompt

ToolJet AI, built into the product. Describe what you want to build and ToolJet generates a fully functioning app for you.

🔌

Build apps from your coding agents

ToolJet MCP. Build ToolJet apps from Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP-compatible clients, without leaving your editor.

ToolJet AI vs ToolJet MCP

Both can create and modify apps. The difference is where you drive them from, which model does the work, and who bills you for it.

	ToolJet AI	ToolJet MCP
Where you build	The AI chat inside ToolJet, in your browser	Your own coding agent, such as Claude Code or Codex
What it does	Generates and modifies apps, modules, queries, and code; answers questions from the docs	Creates and modifies apps, manages users, and queries your instance in natural language
Which model runs it	ToolJet Managed AI by default, or your own key via BYOK	Whichever model your AI client is already running
What it consumes	ToolJet AI credits	AI model tokens, billed by your model provider
Setup needed	None, it is available out of the box	A personal access token and an MCP server install

Credits vs Tokens

Both are metered, but in different units and by different parties.

	ToolJet AI credits	AI model tokens
What it measures	One standardized unit of AI processing per ToolJet operation	The raw text units a model reads and writes
What consumes it	Every AI action inside ToolJet: generating an app, editing a component, writing a query	Every exchange between your coding agent and the MCP server
What the cost depends on	Complexity of the operation and the conversation context ToolJet carries	The model, its reasoning effort setting, and the complexity of the request
Who bills you	ToolJet, against the monthly credits in your license plus any add-on credits	Your AI client's model provider, on your existing subscription with them
Where to check usage	Settings → Subscription, or the credit icon in the AI chat	Your AI client or your model provider's dashboard
