Tines Story Copilot
Build security automation workflows in plain English with AI
The Panel's Take
Tines Story Copilot is an AI-powered chat interface for the Tines intelligent automation storyboard — used by security operations, IT, and enterprise automation teams — that lets users build, understand, modify, and manage complex multi-step workflows using natural language rather than manually dragging and connecting nodes. Featured on Product Hunt today, it's available to all Tines tenants including the free Community Edition. The Copilot is part of Tines' broader AI Interaction Layer strategy that unifies agents, copilots, and conventional automation into a single platform. You describe the workflow you need — "when a new Jira ticket is created, check it against our threat intel feeds, then notify the relevant Slack channel and create a ServiceNow incident if it matches" — and Copilot generates the full storyboard flow. Existing workflows can be interrogated the same way: ask what a complex legacy playbook does and get a plain-English explanation. Tines transitions to credit-based AI pricing on May 1, 2026, so users exploring the Copilot have a window to test it in full before usage starts drawing credits. For security teams managing hundreds of automated playbooks, the ability to understand and modify existing workflows through conversation rather than reverse-engineering node connections is a significant maintenance time-saver.

“Natural language workflow creation is most valuable for maintenance, not initial build — being able to ask 'what does this 200-step playbook do?' and get a coherent answer saves serious time for any team inheriting legacy automation. The Community Edition availability means you can test it at zero cost before the credit model kicks in May 1st.”
“'Build workflows in plain English' is a well-worn promise that usually breaks on anything beyond simple linear flows. Complex security orchestration with conditional logic, error handling, and integration-specific edge cases still requires deep platform expertise — the Copilot may generate plausible-looking storyboards that fail silently in production. Watch the credit costs carefully after May 1st.”
“Security automation is one of the highest-leverage areas for AI-augmented work — the backlog of manual incident response tasks that need automation is enormous, and the bottleneck is almost always building and maintaining the flows. Copilots that lower the floor for workflow creation will dramatically expand which teams can automate and how fast they can iterate.”
“For non-developer teams who need automation but lack engineering bandwidth, being able to describe a workflow and have it built is transformative. The ability to interrogate existing workflows in plain English also makes Tines accessible to new team members who need to understand what's already been built without a senior engineer walking them through it.”
