Workflow automation company Tines 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.
