Tines launches 3B to help enterprises govern AI workflows, apps and agents. Jul 28, 2026, 09:15 ET After tripling its enterprise customer base, Tines rebuilt its platform for a world where every employee can build with AI. DUBLIN and BOSTON, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Tines, the intelligent workflow company trusted by enterprises including Coinbase, Reddit and SAP today launches Tines 3B, an AI-native platform for building, running and governing enterprise workflows, applications and agents securely at scale. AI has made it possible for every employee to build software in minutes. The result is an explosion of vibe-coded software spread across the enterprise, much of it built outside traditional IT processes and lacking the governance, visibility and controls enterprises require. The launch comes as the pace of building accelerates, and organizations struggle to deploy, govern and operate that software safely, and at scale. In a recent IBM study, 77% of CxOs reported that AI adoption is already outpacing current governance capabilities. "AI has made creating software almost effortless. The hard part isn't building anymore, it's connecting that software to your systems, knowing what's running, whether you can trust it, and who's responsible for it. We saw that challenge emerging again and again with customers and started referring to it as 'Wild Code.' Once we understood the problem, it became obvious that simply bolting AI onto our existing product wasn't the answer", said Eoin Hinchy, Tines co-founder and CEO. "We built Tines 3B because we believe enterprises need an environment designed specifically to build, run and govern AI-generated workflows, applications and agents." Tines 3B helps organizations build with AI while giving IT and Security the control to run that work safely at enterprise scale. With Tines 3B, users can: * Build: In 3B, users describe what they want in natural language and Tines 3B builds it, connecting to the tools, systems, and data their organization has authorized. * Run: Builders can deploy apps, agents and automations instantly across the enterprise. It runs securely with credential protection, isolated execution, and full logging. 3B's self-healing capabilities, which fix inconsistencies and edge cases, ensures that important work keeps running. * Monitor: The 3B environment acts as a single place to see and orchestrate all apps, agents, integrations, and automations happening across systems. Teams can build workflows directly in Tines 3B or any other preferred coding assistants, and use 3B to run and monitor their entire workflow environment from a single system. Tines 3B was built by and for security and IT practitioners for environments where failure has real consequences. Every workflow step runs in a completely isolated environment, executes, and disappears. This makes cross-contamination between runs or users architecturally impossible. Sensitive data is never exposed and governance is embedded from the start. "For years, Tines has been a trusted tool for our IT team and 3B is an exciting step forward," said Emanuele Sparvoli, Senior Director of IT at Fin, formerly known as Intercom. "It provides an environment where employees across our organization can build their own workflows, while our IT team retains the control and governance needed to enable innovation at scale. "Like many IT teams, we think carefully about the governance challenges that come with AI - security risks, rising costs and shadow AI. 3B's governance and monitoring capabilities, including strong credential protection and access controls, were central to our decision to deploy it. We're a few weeks into our rollout and already see 3B becoming a critical part of how teams build at Fin." Founded by Eoin Hinchy and Thomas Kinsella in Dublin in 2018, Tines was most recently valued at $1.125 billion during its Series C raise in 2025. Tines has tripled its enterprise customer base year over year, with companies including Coinbase, SAP, Experian, Reddit, Notion and Mars relying on the platform for their most critical workflows. A 124% net revenue retention rate, 302% growth in adoption of AI capabilities, and 59% weekly-to-monthly active user ratio - a benchmark more commonly associated with consumer applications than enterprise software - reflect deepening adoption across the customer base. Tines 3B is available today while the original Tines platform, Tines Stories, continues to power mission-critical workflows for customers. For more information, visit tines.com/3b.

Tines seeks to tame 'wild code' AI sprawl. Workflow automation company Tines Security Services Ltd. today launched Tines 3B, an artificial intelligence-native platform for building, running and governing enterprise workflows, applications and agents. The product targets a problem Tines has taken to calling "Wild Code," the sprawl of AI-generated software now being assembled inside enterprises by employees working outside traditional information technology processes. Much of it connects to corporate systems and data with no record of what is running, who owns it or whether it can be trusted. IBM Corp. put a number on that gap in June, reporting that 77% of the 2,000 technology executives it surveyed across 33 geographies said AI adoption at their organizations had already outpaced governance capabilities. "AI has made creating software almost effortless. The hard part isn't building anymore, it's connecting that software to your systems, knowing what's running, whether you can trust it, and who's responsible for it," said co-founder and Chief Executive Eoin Hinchy. "We built Tines 3B because we believe enterprises need an environment designed specifically to build, run and govern AI-generated workflows, applications and agents." Users describe what they want in natural language and 3B builds it, connecting only to the tools, systems and data an organization has authorized. Finished apps, agents and automations can be deployed across the enterprise immediately, with credential protection, isolated execution and full logging. A self-healing capability is designed to catch inconsistencies and edge cases so workflows keep running when they hit conditions their builder did not anticipate. The third piece is monitoring. Tines positions 3B as a single console for every app, agent, integration and automation running across an organization's systems, including workflows built elsewhere. Teams can build in 3B or in a coding assistant of their choice and still manage the result from one place. Architecturally, every workflow step in 3B runs in an isolated environment that executes and then disappears, which Tines said makes cross-contamination between runs or between users impossible by design rather than by policy. Emanuele Sparvoli, senior director of IT at Fin, the company formerly known as Intercom Inc., said governance and monitoring features, including credential protection and access controls were central to the decision to deploy 3B. Fin is a few weeks into its rollout. Tines was founded in Dublin in 2018 by Hinchy and Thomas Kinsella and now operates from co-headquarters in Dublin and Boston. The company says it has tripled its enterprise customer base year over year, with customers including Coinbase Global Inc., SAP SE, Experian plc, Reddit Inc., Notion Labs Inc. and Mars Inc. Net revenue retention sits at 124%, adoption of the company's AI features has grown 302% and 59% of monthly active users return weekly, a ratio more typical of consumer software than enterprise tools. Tines 3B is available today. The original platform, Tines Stories, remains supported. The company is venture capital-backed, with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. leading Tines most recent raise, a $125 million Series C in February 2025 at a $1.125 billion valuation. Other backers include SoftBank, Group Corp., Felicis Ventures Management Co., Addition Ventures, Accel Partners LP, Blossom Capital LLP and Lux Capital Management. Tines has raised $272 million to date. Image: Tines. A message from John Furrier, co-founder of SiliconANGLE: Support its mission to keep content open and free by engaging with theCUBE community.
