If you've used ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI assistants, Workbench will feel familiar, but there are some meaningful differences.
Context and action
Workbench understands your Tines tenant. It knows Tines features, formulas, and best practices, so when you ask for help, the answers are specific to Tines rather than generic. Unlike standalone AI chat tools, Workbench can also act on what it knows. It can run stories, query APIs, generate code, and interact with your integrated systems, all from within the conversation.
Conversation and control
Workbench maintains context throughout a conversation. It remembers what you've discussed, what tools it's run, and what results it produced, so you can have natural, flowing conversations without repeating yourself. For actions that make changes or access sensitive data, Workbench requires confirmation before proceeding. You'll see the tool name and input details, then choose whether to confirm or cancel.
Custom instructions
You can configure custom instructions that apply to all your conversations. These might include your role, the tasks you commonly perform, or preferences for how Workbench should respond.
