Tines 3B is now available as an AI-native platform for building, running and governing enterprise workflows, applications and agents, with pricing not disclosed. The launch puts Tines Security Services Ltd. into a crowded but urgent part of enterprise AI: controlling software and automations that employees can now generate quickly, often outside standard IT review.
Tines is framing the target problem as “Wild Code,” its term for AI-generated software spreading through companies without clear ownership, inventory or trust controls. The risk is not only that employees can create apps faster. The harder issue for technology teams is that those apps may connect to production systems, credentials and corporate data before security, IT or operations teams know they exist.
IBM put a number on the governance gap in June, saying 77% of 2,000 technology executives it surveyed across 33 geographies reported that AI adoption at their organizations had moved faster than their governance capabilities.
What is Tines 3B?
Tines 3B is a platform where users describe a workflow, app or agent in natural language, and the system builds it using only the tools, systems and data the organization has approved. Tines says the same environment can then run and govern those outputs, including automations built in 3B or in other coding assistants.
The product includes credential protection, isolated execution and logging for deployed workflows. Tines also says 3B has a self-healing feature intended to detect inconsistencies and unplanned edge cases so workflows can keep operating when they encounter conditions their creator did not account for. The company did not disclose technical benchmarks for that capability.
Governance is the central pitch. Tines says 3B can act as a console for applications, agents, integrations and automations running across a company’s systems. That matters for buyers trying to allow AI-assisted building without letting every department create unmanaged internal software with privileged access.
The company says each workflow step runs in its own isolated environment that executes and then disappears. Tines claims that design prevents cross-contamination between runs or users through architecture rather than administrative policy.
Who is using it?
Tines cited Fin, the company formerly known as Intercom Inc., as an early user. Emanuele Sparvoli, Fin’s senior director of IT, said governance and monitoring capabilities such as credential protection and access controls were key factors in the rollout. Fin is a few weeks into deployment, according to Tines.
The original Tines platform, Tines Stories, will continue to be supported. That detail matters for existing customers that may not be ready to move workflow operations into a newer AI-centered environment.
Tines was founded in Dublin in 2018 by Eoin Hinchy and Thomas Kinsella and now has co-headquarters in Dublin and Boston. The company says its enterprise customer base has tripled year over year, with customers including Coinbase, SAP, Experian, Reddit, Notion and Mars. It also says net revenue retention is 124%, use of its AI features has risen 302%, and 59% of monthly active users come back weekly.
The company has raised $272 million to date. Its most recent disclosed financing was a $125 million Series C led by Goldman Sachs in February 2025 at a $1.125 billion valuation. Other named backers include SoftBank Group, Felicis, Addition, Accel, Blossom Capital and Lux Capital.
