Tines: workflow automation and AI agents for security and IT teams

Tines is a workflow automation platform built by former security practitioners for the teams that cannot afford automation to guess. Its core is a no-code builder for deterministic workflows — high-volume, mission-critical processes like phishing triage, alert enrichment, and user offboarding that demand predictability and compliance. Because Tines is vendor-agnostic and connects to any tool with an API, teams wire it into their existing stack, including LLMs, MCP servers, and internal tools, without waiting on prebuilt connectors.

Alongside deterministic workflows, Tines now ships AI agents for the flexible, ambiguous scenarios where a fixed flow falls short: agents reason through logical next steps and take actions within guardrails the team defines. The free Community edition includes one builder, three flows, unlimited parallel workflow runs, unlimited viewers, and SSO — no credit card required — while Business and Enterprise plans add capacity, multiple teams, and cloud or self-hosted deployment.

Key Features

• No-code builder for deterministic, auditable workflows suited to high-volume security and IT operations
• AI agents that handle ambiguous scenarios with defined guardrails and safe automated actions
• Vendor-agnostic integration with any API, including LLMs, MCP servers, and internal tools
• Free Community edition with 1 builder, 3 flows, unlimited runs, unlimited viewers, and SSO
• Cloud or self-hosted deployment options for enterprise environments
• Documented customer outcomes: Elastic reports 750 days of work time saved, Snowflake 10 hours saved per day

Ideal Use Case

Tines fits security operations centers and IT/infrastructure teams drowning in repetitive, high-stakes work — alert triage, enrichment, access requests, incident response — who want automation with the auditability of deterministic flows and the option to layer AI agents on the fuzzy edges. The free tier is a realistic on-ramp for a single analyst automating their first few processes.

How Tines differentiates

Tines raised a $125M Series C in February 2025 led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives with SoftBank Vision Fund 2 participating, valuing the company at $1.125 billion — up more than 80% from its prior $600M valuation. Its customer roster includes Canva, Coinbase, Databricks, Dropbox, Elastic, Experian, MongoDB, Notion, Pinterest, Reddit, SAP, Snowflake, and Zendesk. Where general-purpose automation tools chase breadth, Tines is built around the security team's bar for determinism, secrets handling, and self-hosting.
