Company profile
researched Aug 2026Tines provides a workflow automation platform that lets teams build, run and monitor workflows connecting applications, data and AI models. Its stated positioning is as a secure environment in which any team can build AI agents, apps and automations while IT and security retain visibility, governance and control. Core product components described on its site include Storyboard (a workflow builder), Workbench (a vendor-agnostic AI chat interface/copilot that can query data and take action across connected applications), Cases (case and incident management), Agents (autonomous workflow activity and user interaction), monitoring for workflow performance, and Apps (interactive front ends for workflows).
The company markets use cases by function: AI SOC alert intake, triage and remediation for security teams; MCP and AI client management with an AI gateway for IT; finance request dashboards; job/hiring request management for people teams; and operations lifecycle dashboards.
