What is Workbench?

Workbench is a Tines-powered AI chat interface that allows you to take action and interact with your proprietary data in real-time. This is an add-on product within the Tines platform, and like all AI in Tines, it is private and secure by design.

This is the one place in Tines that is user-scoped. Meaning, outside of audit logs, it is private to you. From Workbench, you can only interact with stories or action templates that you have permissions to interact with through your team or tenant-level settings.

Workbench is available to all Tines cloud tenants, both paid and community editions. To learn more about its availability, check out this article.

Why should you use Workbench?

Workbench removes the need to switch context between applications. It offers builders a singular view to run and monitor in the context of real-time scenarios or events.

You can perform tasks like:

  • Send a message in Slack

  • Look up an employee in BambooHR

  • Create a ticket in Jira

  • Get detections in CrowdStrike Falcon

  • Lock down a device in Jamf

By getting connected and responding faster, Workbench helps teams increase operational efficiency, improve the interoperability of your tech stack, mitigate risk faster, and strengthen compliance.

Note: To access Workbench, you need to enable AI-powered features from your admin settings. Learn how here.

Get started with Workbench

To start using Workbench, here are some best practices.

  1. Ensure you have enabled a few stories for Workbench

2. Then start a conversation

It’s that simple. It’s ready to use out of the box without stories enabled, but they make the experience even more powerful. Try it out!
