After tripling its enterprise customer base, Tines rebuilt its platform for a world where every employee can build with AI.
DUBLIN and BOSTON, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tines, the intelligent workflow company trusted by enterprises including Coinbase, Reddit and SAP today launches Tines 3B, an AI-native platform for building, running and governing enterprise workflows, applications and agents securely at scale.
AI has made it possible for every employee to build software in minutes. The result is an explosion of vibe-coded software spread across the enterprise, much of it built outside traditional IT processes and lacking the governance, visibility and controls enterprises require.
The launch comes as the pace of building accelerates, and organizations struggle to deploy, govern and operate that software safely, and at scale. In a recent IBM study, 77% of CxOs reported that AI adoption is already outpacing current 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. We saw that challenge emerging again and again with customers and started referring to it as 'Wild Code.' Once we understood the problem, it became obvious that simply bolting AI onto our existing product wasn't the answer", said Eoin Hinchy, Tines co-founder and CEO. "We built Tines 3B because we believe enterprises need an environment designed specifically to build, run and govern AI-generated workflows, applications and agents."
Tines 3B helps organizations build with AI while giving IT and Security the control to run that work safely at enterprise scale. With Tines 3B, users can:
- Build: In 3B, users describe what they want in natural language and Tines 3B builds it, connecting to the tools, systems, and data their organization has authorized.
- Run: Builders can deploy apps, agents and automations instantly across the enterprise. It runs securely with credential protection, isolated execution, and full logging. 3B's self-healing capabilities, which fix inconsistencies and edge cases, ensures that important work keeps running.
- Monitor: The 3B environment acts as a single place to see and orchestrate all apps, agents, integrations, and automations happening across systems.
Teams can build workflows directly in Tines 3B or any other preferred coding assistants, and use 3B to run and monitor their entire workflow environment from a single system.
Tines 3B was built by and for security and IT practitioners for environments where failure has real consequences. Every workflow step runs in a completely isolated environment, executes, and disappears. This makes cross-contamination between runs or users architecturally impossible. Sensitive data is never exposed and governance is embedded from the start.
"For years, Tines has been a trusted tool for our IT team and 3B is an exciting step forward," said Emanuele Sparvoli, Senior Director of IT at Fin, formerly known as Intercom. "It provides an environment where employees across our organization can build their own workflows, while our IT team retains the control and governance needed to enable innovation at scale.
"Like many IT teams, we think carefully about the governance challenges that come with AI — security risks, rising costs and shadow AI. 3B's governance and monitoring capabilities, including strong credential protection and access controls, were central to our decision to deploy it. We're a few weeks into our rollout and already see 3B becoming a critical part of how teams build at Fin."
Founded by Eoin Hinchy and Thomas Kinsella in Dublin in 2018, Tines was most recently valued at $1.125 billion during its Series C raise in 2025. Tines has tripled its enterprise customer base year over year, with companies including Coinbase, SAP, Experian, Reddit, Notion and Mars relying on the platform for their most critical workflows. A 124% net revenue retention rate, 302% growth in adoption of AI capabilities, and 59% weekly-to-monthly active user ratio — a benchmark more commonly associated with consumer applications than enterprise software — reflect deepening adoption across the customer base.
Tines 3B is available today while the original Tines platform, Tines Stories, continues to power mission-critical workflows for customers. For more information, visit tines.com/3b.

Tines Launches 3B to Help Enterprises Govern AI Workflows, Apps and Agents
East Malaysia hosts Southeast Asia's leading laboratory exhibition as investment in research, healthcare and advanced manufacturing continues to grow.
KUCHING, Malaysia, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LabAsia Borneo Edition 2026 officially opened today at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), marking the return of Southeast Asia's leading laboratory exhibition to East Malaysia as the region strengthens its position as a growing hub for scientific research, laboratory technologies and high-value industries.
Organised by Informa Markets Malaysia, the three-day exhibition is strategically co-located with the IUPAC 51st World Polymer Congress (MACRO 2026), creating a unique convergence of laboratory professionals, scientists, researchers, technology providers, manufacturers and industry leaders. Together, the two events offer opportunities for knowledge exchange, cross-disciplinary collaboration and the translation of scientific research into practical industrial and commercial applications.
The Opening Ceremony was officiated by The Honourable Datuk Amar Prof Dr Sim Kui Hian, Deputy Premier of Sarawak and Minister for Public Health, Housing and Local Government, following welcoming addresses by representatives of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), Institut Kimia Malaysia (IKM) and Informa Markets Malaysia.
The return of LabAsia to Borneo reflects rising demand for laboratory technologies driven by the expansion of healthcare, biotechnology, environmental sciences, food processing, energy and advanced manufacturing across Sarawak and the wider Borneo region. In Malaysia, the scientific instruments market is projected to reach *US$275.25 million by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.65% from 2025 to 2032, underpinned by continued investment in research and development and increasing demand for advanced analytical capabilities across multiple industries.
Since its debut in 2007, LabAsia has grown into one of Southeast Asia's leading exhibitions dedicated to laboratory technology, scientific instruments and analytical solutions, connecting laboratory professionals, suppliers, manufacturers and solution providers across the region. Its return to Borneo reinforces its commitment to making laboratory innovation more accessible to organisations across East Malaysia while supporting the region's expanding scientific ecosystem.
This year's exhibition features more than 60 brands and companies from 5 countries and regions, showcasing the latest laboratory equipment, scientific instruments, analytical technologies and automation solutions from leading local and international companies.
