A theme throughout our September updates is data. Build with data, use data to inform AI-assisted case work, and make data easier to read and share.

AI guardrails are sold as a solution to keep models behaving as intended - but it can be hard to figure out what you’re getting. The problem starts with the word itself. "Guardrails" means different things depending on who's selling them. Some vendors use it for simple prompt filtering, others bundle in entirely different controls and call it "guardrails" because the word sounds reassuring. Without a shared definition, buyers can't easily tell what they're actually getting.

New hires shouldn't spend their first week waiting on IT. But in most organizations, that's exactly what happens: a Slack account that takes three days to provision, a GitHub invite that falls through the cracks, a hiring manager who has no idea whether security has approved VPN access yet. The result is a frustrating first impression for the employee and a pile of repetitive, error-prone manual work for IT.
One of my favorite parts of my role is working closely with innovative customers like Chris Oh, Senior Director of AI Enablement at Headspace. Chris and I recently caught up to talk through how Headspace uses Tines 3B to give teams the freedom to build with AI, without the operational risk. We covered the problem Headspace set out to solve, why they chose Tines 3B, and some of their early wins with the product.

At Tines, Salesforce and NetSuite form our core finance and billing stack. But anyone using these tools will be familiar with the issues this set-up presents — it requires manual, time-consuming work to connect data across the two platforms. Over the years, my team evaluated a bunch of solutions to this problem, including third-party tools and NetSuite’s own native offering.

Ask a governance lead which of their AI controls actually ran last Tuesday at 2:14 p.m., when a specific agent touched a specific dataset, and the answer usually arrives as a policy document, an org chart, and a shrug. That gap between the controls a program claims to have and the controls that actually fired when an agent acted is where AI governance quietly fails. Policy documents describe intent. Model monitoring tracks accuracy and drift.

Tines co-founder and COO Thomas Kinsella recently joined Peter High on the Technovation podcast to talk about the evolution of Tines, the rise of "wild code," and why agents aren’t always the right tools for the job. The conversation covered a lot of ground — from the original problem that inspired Tines, to how teams should think about combining AI agents, deterministic automation, and humans in a single workflow. Here, we’ll share some of the highlights.

If you walked the floor at Black Hat this year, you likely noticed a glaring trend: the AI Security Operations Center (SOC) is no longer a bleeding-edge novelty. It’s officially a commodity. With close to 70 AI SOC platform companies vying for attention, the market is completely saturated. What was once the hottest standalone category in cybersecurity is rapidly becoming a standard feature.

More teams are building Apps in Tines Stories to deliver their most important work. This month, you can connect Apps to your Tines data, assign clear ownership, and share view access through your identity provider. Bring your data directly into an app. Apps can now read cases, records, and resources through built-in Workbench functions, so you spend less time configuring Workbench tools and building endpoints to interact with your data..

In July, we launched Tines 3B to the world, and it’s been incredible to see the response from our customers. It wasn’t a surprise though, we had a sneak peek of how much value 3B could bring when we launched it internally. On June 2, around eight weeks before the product's general availability, we unlocked the doors of 3B, let every single Tines employee into our own instance, and invited them to start building.

In Tines 3B, you don't always have to build your workflows directly in the platform. But your security team will want to see an audit trail of the tool you use, what it has access to and what it has built. In this video, we look at how to auditing your AI built workflows in Tines 3B.

Global teams run into the same problem with on-call: a single rotation means engineers outside the primary time zone get paged outside their working hours. This walkthrough shows an internal app built in Tines 3B that manages a daytime on-call roster and syncs it to PagerDuty.

New hire onboarding doesn't have to be hard; it's just scattered. The prompt is in the Tines 3B example gallery. It's a starting point, not a template: swap BambooHR for Workday, Jira for ServiceNow, and set your own checklist rules and approvers.

AI is reshaping the IT leadership role faster than any shift in the last decade. As AI makes it dramatically easier to build software (agents, apps, automations, and more), the volume of software entering the enterprise is far beyond what IT teams have had to govern before. That shift demands new ways of thinking about enterprise control: how security, access, and oversight evolve to keep pace with software that's built faster and by far more people than ever before. The leaders who treat this as an operating shift, not just a technical one, are the ones expanding their influence.

GRC teams have invested heavily in building mature control frameworks. But the real challenge? Having the visibility into whether they’re working, where gaps exist, and how to keep them running effectively at scale. As compliance programs become more complex, teams need new ways to move beyond manual processes and maintain confidence in control effectiveness. Join GRC experts from Tines for a conversation with Ayoub Fandi, Founder of GRC Engineer, to learn how leading organizations are reducing manual effort and improving visibility, and building compliance programs that scale.

AI changed who can build. Employees across the business can now create workflows – apps, agents, and automations, faster than ever before. The result is a growing wave of “wild code”: AI-generated software, automations, and agents that solve real business problems but exist outside traditional governance, operational ownership, and support models. For IT, this creates a new challenge. How do you empower teams to move quickly without creating more risk, complexity, and technical debt? How do you support innovation without opening the door to shadow AI, data leakage, and unmanaged systems?

Building a workflow is only the beginning. Autotune monitors workflows and suggests improvements, while Autofix investigates failures and proposes repairs. In this video we show how both features help keep an IT device management application and workflow reliable.
