👋 Greetings Product Hunt community! Thomas Kinsella here, co-founder of Tines.
We’ve been building Tines since 2018, helping security and IT teams at companies like Canva, Elastic, Dropbox and many more power their most important workflows reliably at scale.
What is Tines? Tines is the first and only intelligent workflow platform. Instead of automating isolated steps, Tines lets teams orchestrate work end to end across tools, systems, and people. Workflows in Tines combine deterministic logic, AI agents, and human decision points.The result is workflows that hold up when inputs change, edge cases appear, or systems evolve.
Why launch on Product Hunt now?
Product Hunt is where innovators go to try, build, and push tools in real-world ways and we’ve just taken a meaningful step toward making intelligent workflows more accessible to everyone in that community. Today we’re introducing Starter Edition, a new way for smaller organizations and lean teams to get started with Tines. Starter Edition makes it easier to move from brittle scripts, rigid integrations, or hobbyist automation tools to workflows that are secure, reliable, and ready to scale with you as your business grows.
At the same time, Tines remains fully enterprise grade. Large teams continue to use Tines to run high-volume, mission-critical workflows with the governance, scale, and trust they require. This launch expands how teams get started, not who Tines is built for.
Who Tines is for
Builders who want hands-on experiencing building and launching intelligent workflows
Security and IT teams orchestrating real operational work
Enterprises running workflows at scale
Innovators who want a platform that grows with them
Why we’d love your feedback
We believe intelligent workflows should be within reach for anyone responsible for keeping real work moving. We’d love feedback from this community on how Tines fits into your workflow building today and where you’d like to see it go next.
Thanks for being here with us. We’re happy to answer questions in the comments!
Moving teams from brittle scripts and patchwork automation into intelligent, resilient workflows is a real step up.
The timing is interesting too, more builders and security operators are publicly sharing their automation setups. Platforms that become part of that conversation usually gain serious momentum.
Starter Edition feels like the right catalyst for that.
Congrats on the launch
Finally, a tool that doesn't treat 'no-code' like a limitation. Most automation platforms turn into a mess of spaghetti code the moment you need a loop or complex logic, but Tines actually handles that complexity well.
It’s been a massive win for our Ops team; we can finally hit internal API endpoints without having to ask the engineering team to build a custom admin panel every time. Solid release.
This feels like automation built for real teams, not just perfect demos and it’s great to see it opened up to smaller teams too.
It seems like the capabilities are here but I dont see it anywhere explicitly: Could I use tines for onboarding/off-boarding employees? Is it possible to onboard new employees to certain tools by group/team?
Tines is interesting because it’s not trying to be flashy it’s trying to be infrastructure. Build agents & automations integrated across your workspace” basically means: connect all your tools, add logic, and let workflows run without constant human babysitting.
Vendor-agnostic → big deal for enterprises that don’t want lock-in.
Security-first positioning → smart, especially if targeting IT/SecOps.
Build + run + monitor → they’re selling reliability, not just creation. This feels less AI toy and more operational backbone. The kind of thing security teams and ops teams quietly depend on.
I can see the focus on security and no code for IT, but from a builder's perspective, what would be the 'killer feature' that would make me switch my workflows from something like n8n over to Tines?
As a Tines Community Champion and someone who’s spent countless hours building and experimenting with flows, I can confidently say that Tines is one of the most flexible and intuitive automation platforms out there. What I love most is how it empowers you to automate anything you can imagine, no matter how complex or simple the use case.
While it’s often used by technical teams like SecOps, DevOps, or IT, Tines has evolved into a tool that’s just as valuable for less technical teams too. The interface is incredibly user-friendly, and the barrier to entry keeps getting lower with every update. A great example of that is the new Story Copilot feature. Your personal automation assistant that helps you build, debug, understand, or even summarize any flow. It’s an absolute game-changer for both new and experienced users.
And of course, I have to mention the Tines support team. They’re hands down the most responsive and helpful team I’ve ever interacted with. No matter what question, issue, or feature request you have, they’re always quick to respond and genuinely eager to help. It really shows how much they care about both the community and improving the product based on real feedback.
Tines isn’t just an automation platform, it’s a community-driven ecosystem that keeps getting better with every release. Couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.
The security angle here is interesting. Building VibeCheck (AI code security scanner), one thing that keeps coming up is how security automation needs stricter guardrails than regular automation - if an agent decides to quarantine something at 2am, you want a human to okay it before that actually happens.
Does Tines have built-in human approval steps, or is that something you wire in yourself?
I've been using Tines at work and at home. It honestly has made my life so much easier. I've checked out Zapier, N8N, Make - while they each have pros and cons, I love how simple building an automation is in Tines. There's a nice balance between an intuitive UX and deeper technical functionality to really dial in my workflows.
Biased because I work here, but I’m consistently blown away by how fast you can go from an idea to a production-ready workflow in Tines. The new Story Copilot is a total game hanger! It’s incredibly intuitive to just prompt your way into a complex story.
If you're looking to build intelligent automation without the steep learning curve, definitely give this a spin!
The emphasis on workflows that hold up when inputs change or edge cases appear is important. Most automation tools look good in demos and break under real-world complexity.
Congrats on opening up the platform!
I'm curious about the mix of deterministic logic and AI agents. One of the biggest concern with agents is them going off the rails. Does Tines pause the workflow and request a human decision if it's not 100% sure? That feels like the missing piece in most agent frameworks.
Very excited to share our work with PH! For folks like me who are not very technical, Story Copilot is really a great way to get started and build valuable workflows in minutes.
Could I create a stargazer workflow that would send me a daily update if any of my 200++ github projects go any new stars? Would that be possible with Tines? Thanks 🙏
This looks great! 🚀 As someone who spends a lot of time in tools like Make and n8n, I’m curious - how does Tines differentiate itself for a non-enterprise user or a smaller team? I can see the focus on security and 'no-code for IT,' but from a builder's perspective, what would be the 'killer feature' that would make me switch my workflows from something like n8n over to Tines?
