# A new kind of in-house tool.

## Retrieval answer

## Ramp and Stripe build internal AI app tools for non-engineers

## Ramp and Stripe build internal AI app tools for non-engineers

The Pragmatic Engineer reports that Ramp and Stripe have built internal AI-assisted environments for employees to create websites and tools. At Ramp, nearly every non-engineer uses Glass; employees share tools they build, and making a simple tool is part of onboarding for new hires. One marketer built a custom CRM. Stripe's Harbor took one engineer about six weeks to build. The reported rationale for an internal tool includes safer use of company data and adherence to company design rules.
