Lean teams are expected to keep critical work moving with limited time, headcount, and budget. Whether you’re responding to incidents, managing user access, or keeping systems connected behind the scenes, the reality is the same: keeping processes moving reliably is harder than it should be when resources are stretched thin. That’s why we’re introducing Tines Starter Edition, a new Tines plan for smaller organizations to begin building intelligent workflows that scale as you grow.

Story copilot is an AI-chat interface for the storyboard. It helps you understand, maintain, manage, and build stories (i.e. agents, automations, playbooks, run books, etc.) using natural language.

We are back from the holidays and ready to kick 2026 into full gear! Check out the latest product updates from the past month.

Fair-share orchestration of resources in a tenant, especially in a multi-tenant context is a complex, multifaceted issue. It involves ensuring equitable access to shared resources, preventing system overload, and maintaining optimal performance across all customer workflows. As more customers build and trust Tines with their most important workflows, (which sees the platform handle over a billion automated actions per week), we recognized that we needed to ensure our platform's scalability.

AI adoption in security has soared. But for many teams, manual work and burnout remain stubbornly high. To understand why, and what security teams must do next, we partnered with Sapio research to survey more than 1,800 security leaders and practitioners worldwide for our Voice of Security 2026 report. We wanted to learn how teams are using AI and automation, how the role of security is evolving, and how professionals believe AI will impact their careers. The data is revealing.

At Tines, we recently faced a significant engineering challenge: our output_payloads table in PostgreSQL was rapidly approaching 17TB on our largest cloud cluster, with no signs of slowing down. Once a table reaches PostgreSQL’s 32TB table size limit, it will stop accepting writes. This table holds event data, in the form of arbitrary JSON, which is critical to powering Tines workflows. Given the criticality of the data, we couldn’t risk any disruptions to it.

At Tines, we understand different systems and environments require different deployment options. Some organizations require extra guardrails to access and manage their systems and data. Those operating in regulated industries or the government sector often require self-hosted or on-prem solutions to ensure their networks are secure and compliant. Tines is unique in many ways, but one of our biggest differentiators is that our intelligent workflow platform can be deployed in the cloud or self-hosted.

AI is everywhere, but without a consistent and secure way to connect it to real systems, it remains fragmented, difficult to govern, and hard to scale. Today, we’re introducing your AI interaction layer. Tines unifies AI agents, copilots, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients in a single, secure environment. It gives teams a practical way to connect AI to systems and put it to work seamlessly across operations.

Early in the year, we introduced multiple drafts for Change Control. This feature enables builders to work on the same project simultaneously, each within their own draft environment. The upside? Agents were the talk of the town in 2025. Tines CEO Eoin Hinchy shared his thoughts on how they could help end muckwork, and shortly after, we launched the AI Agent action.

Every IT Operations team knows the feeling: the alert storm hits, dashboards light up, and another late-night scramble begins. You fix the issue, document it, and brace for the next one. The pattern repeats; not because your team lacks skill or visibility, but because the systems you rely on don’t move as fast as the infrastructure they manage. Downtime doesn’t start when systems fail. It starts when signals go unanswered.
