Tines is an AI orchestration platform designed to securely scale automation and connect the tools, teams, and data that power modern work. As an intelligent workflow platform, it bridges the gap between legacy systems and cutting-edge AI, enabling organizations to deploy deterministic workflows, agentic processes, and human-in-the-loop operations from a single pane of glass. Built for security, IT, infrastructure, engineering, and product teams, Tines provides a vendor-agnostic integration layer that works with any API - from CrowdStrike and Okta to custom internal tools. Its core value lies in transforming failed automation pilots into successful, enterprise-grade deployments that accelerate time-to-value across the organization.
Teams today are drowning in fragmented tools, repetitive manual tasks, and alert fatigue. Security analysts face hundreds of false positives daily, IT teams struggle with password reset requests that take ten to twenty minutes each, and cross-functional groups waste hours on provisioning and deprovisioning. Tines directly addresses these pain points by offering a no-code workflow automation backbone that unifies disparate systems. For example, one SOC achieved 24/7 coverage by streamlining alerts and ensuring no critical notifications are missed, while another organization reduced per-request processing time from 10-20 minutes to just 30 seconds. The platform eliminates tech debt by abstracting integrations into reusable, auditable workflows.
The Tines Storyboard is a visual workflow builder that lets users create complex automations through a drag-and-drop interface. Unlike traditional coding, Storyboard uses logical nodes - such as triggers, actions, and conditions - to model any process without writing a single line of code. Each workflow is represented as a visual map, making it easy for beginners to immediately start building while providing the depth needed for advanced orchestrations. The platform automatically tracks version history, monitors execution, and sends notifications, ensuring transparency and control. This feature democratizes automation, enabling non-developers to build production-grade integrations that once required dedicated engineering resources.
Tines Cases introduces powerful case management directly within the automation platform. Cases provide a structured workspace where teams can triage, investigate, and resolve incidents with built-in SLA tracking. For instance, a security team can create a case from a critical CrowdStrike alert, automatically enrich it with threat intelligence from VirusTotal and AbuseIPDB, assign ownership, and track time-to-detect and time-to-respond metrics. Cases integrate seamlessly with Storyboard workflows, so every action taken within a case can trigger additional automations - like escalating to Slack or creating a Jira ticket. This unified approach replaces fragmented ticketing systems and ensures end-to-end visibility across the entire incident lifecycle.

The Tines Workbench serves as a universal AI copilot that translates natural language requests into actionable workflows. IT operations teams can use Workbench to handle tasks like resetting Okta passwords - the AI automatically looks up employee details, confirms identities, and executes the change through connected systems. Workbench leverages large language models and MCP protocols to understand complex requests, then orchestrates the necessary steps across security and IT tools. Because Tines is vendor-agnostic, Workbench works with any API-enabled product, from Microsoft Teams to AWS. This feature reduces the burden on help desks and allows teams to focus on higher-value strategic work rather than routine manual interventions.
Tines employs a three-tier workflow methodology that adapts to any scenario: human-led processes for strategy and judgment calls, deterministic workflows for high-volume, mission-critical tasks, and agentic processes for flexibility and ambiguity. Human-led workflows are best when context-based decisions are required, such as risk assessment or communication. Deterministic workflows are designed for compliance, provisioning, triage, and routing - where predictability and explainability are paramount. Agentic workflows handle flexibility and simple actions, like reviewing and escalating issues. Tines allows teams to combine these modes fluidly, so an incident response can start with automated enrichment, escalate to an analyst for judgment, and then execute predefined remediation steps across tools.
Real-world deployments demonstrate Tines' tangible impact. Elastic saved 750 days of work time by automating security operations. Snowflake saves 10 hours of work time every day. KnowBe4 achieved a 50% reduction in time spent per ticket. Mars achieved coverage of 80-90% of sources for true positives within weeks. Applied Systems reduced process time per request from 10-20 minutes to 30 seconds. These outcomes come from concrete use cases like automated phishing alert triage, user onboarding and offboarding, compliance enforcement, cloud security monitoring, and IT help desk automation. Teams also use Tines for cross-functional workflows like employee lifecycle management and service desk integration.
Tines is designed for security teams, IT operations, infrastructure engineers, software engineers, product teams, and managed security service providers (MSSPs). It supports federal agencies working toward zero-trust goals and enterprise organizations requiring rigorous governance and audit trails. The platform runs on a cloud-native architecture and offers a free tier for small teams, with pricing based on usage and scale. Tines provides extensive learning resources including the Workflow Capability Matrix, a library of pre-built workflows, Tines University for certifications, and five-minute flows for rapid inspiration. Whether an organization is looking for a SOAR alternative or a scalable automation foundation, Tines delivers an intelligent workflow platform that unifies teams, tools, and AI securely.
Security teams (SOC analysts, incident responders, threat hunters), IT operations (help desk, system administrators, identity teams), infrastructure engineers, software engineering teams, product managers, and managed security service providers (MSSPs). Tines also serves federal agencies and large enterprises requiring robust governance, audit trails, and scalable automation. The platform is ideal for organizations seeking to reduce manual work, eliminate tech debt, and accelerate time-to-value with an intelligent workflow platform that bridges AI, automation, and human expertise.
