Appsmith is a low-code platform for building internal tools such as dashboards, admin panels and customer 360 views, then deploying and maintaining them. It can be self-hosted or used through Appsmith Cloud. The README also promotes a separate product, Appsmith Agents, which adds AI models over private data; its availability and licensing in this repo are not stated.
