Description
Hey HN! This is Yannick from Tines, really excited to share what we’re launching today.Tines 3B is a new product we’ve built for teams building agents, apps, and automations with AI, on top of the assumption that people are already doing this, whether or not IT or security knows about it.Finance, marketing, and more are building dashboards in Claude Code or Codex. None of it is malicious, people are doing exactly what they were asked to do. The issue is there's no easy way for that work to run securely: it ends up on a laptop or personal account, with a credential pasted directly into the code, with no one else able to see it exists.Tines 3B is where that work runs instead: everyone can still build the same way, but it executes in an environment that IT and security can actually see and control.It's code-first, describe what you want, your LLM writes the implementation, with isolated executions and credentials handled through a proxy rather than embedded in the code.Our other product has been running inside security and IT teams' most sensitive systems for the last 8 years. This is the same underlying problem (who gets access to what, and who can see it), just for a new category of builder.Our explorer edition is free forever, entirely self-serve: https://login.tines.com/saml_idp/signup

Could you build this?
No Tines 3B is an enterprise security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platform requiring stringent enterprise compliance, secure multi-tenant execution sandboxes, and deep enterprise IAM controls.
What it would actually take: Requires high-throughput, highly resilient distributed workflow engine architecture (e.g. Temporal/Kafka/Erlang-based), secure isolated agent execution runtimes, SOC2/HIPAA compliance, and dozens of robust enterprise SaaS connector protocols. It requires a dedicated enterprise security and distributed systems infrastructure team.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
