Tines

Tines is an intelligent workflow automation platform that lets teams connect applications, APIs, data, and AI capabilities into automated workflows. Its AI Agent action can run language models in workflow context, use tools, analyze data, and operate in task or chat mode. The platform is designed for security, IT, operations, and cross functional teams that need governed automation. Teams can build workflows that trigger from events, call APIs, transform data, notify people, and use AI agents to make decisions or complete tasks. Tines supports AI Agent actions, Workbench, MCP related capabilities, scheduling, monitoring, credentials, and integrations. The system can also be self hosted on Business and Enterprise editions, which matters for organizations with stricter infrastructure requirements. Tines differentiates itself by placing AI inside an established workflow automation environment rather than treating agents as isolated chat applications. Official documentation says AI features run through configurable providers and can use monthly AI runtime credits, while preferred AI providers can also be brought by customers. Pricing is organized into Community, Business, and Enterprise editions with usage and feature differences rather than a simple consumer subscription. For FutureStack, Tines belongs in AI Agents because its primary buyer intent is governed AI workflow automation. It is best for connecting agents to operational systems, APIs, security workflows, and repeatable business processes. Smaller users looking for a standalone chatbot may find the workflow platform broader than necessary.
