What is Lemonway?

Lemonway's feed is mostly bank-holiday ops with one real onboarding tweak buried in it.

Lemonway's recent changelog is dominated by recurring operational notices: SEPA and international-transfer cutoffs around French bank holidays, a sandbox server migration tied to PCI/DSS infrastructure work, and support-availability windows. The substantive product change in the window is the removal of an OTP step from the Online Onboarding identity-verification flow (QES by Onfido).

What is Pigment?

Pigment's Agents break out of single applications and start reading your spreadsheets.

The Agents are the story: Modeler and Analyst now launch from the homepage and hold one conversation across multiple Applications, with the Analyst comparing Metrics across them and handling Board search. Days earlier, the Modeler gained the ability to build a Pigment model — data, Blocks, formulas, and Boards — from a dropped XLSX file, with multi-file uploads of PDFs, CSVs, and images. The rest of the run is planning-platform craft: metric diffing, live deployment progress, selective Metric data sync across Test & Deploy environments, and a steady stream of View Template and chart formatting controls.

5.0

Lemonway's feed is mostly bank-holiday ops with one real onboarding tweak buried in it.

◆ Current state

Lemonway's recent changelog is dominated by recurring operational notices: SEPA and international-transfer cutoffs around French bank holidays, a sandbox server migration tied to PCI/DSS infrastructure work, and support-availability windows. The substantive product change in the window is the removal of an OTP step from the Online Onboarding identity-verification flow (QES by Onfido).

◆ Where it's heading

As a regulated French PSP, Lemonway's customer-visible work mostly orbits around banking calendar rhythms and compliance plumbing. Product evolution shows up sparingly — the OTP removal in February and Faster Pay by Bank in January are the only two real feature notes in the past four months — pointing at a roadmap focused on conversion friction in onboarding and SEPA-Instant settlement speed.

◆ Prediction

Expect the operational-notice cadence to continue around upcoming French bank holidays. Real product motion is likely to stay on the onboarding and pay-by-bank surfaces, since those are where the team has invested visibly in the past quarter; anything else would be a departure from the established pattern.

Pigment's Agents break out of single applications and start reading your spreadsheets.

◆ Current state

The Agents are the story: Modeler and Analyst now launch from the homepage and hold one conversation across multiple Applications, with the Analyst comparing Metrics across them and handling Board search. Days earlier, the Modeler gained the ability to build a Pigment model — data, Blocks, formulas, and Boards — from a dropped XLSX file, with multi-file uploads of PDFs, CSVs, and images. The rest of the run is planning-platform craft: metric diffing, live deployment progress, selective Metric data sync across Test & Deploy environments, and a steady stream of View Template and chart formatting controls.

◆ Where it's heading

Pigment is moving its Agents from assistants scoped to one Application into a workspace-level layer that can see and act across the whole model estate. Pairing that with Excel ingestion targets the actual starting condition of most planning customers, whose current model is a spreadsheet. Meanwhile the environment tooling — deployment visibility and configuration data kept in sync between test and production — reads as a platform maturing for customers who now treat their Pigment models as software.

◆ Prediction

With Agents workspace-wide and able to construct models from files, the next step is putting them inside the change-management path — proposing model edits that flow through Test & Deploy rather than landing directly. Expect the Analyst's cross-Application reach to extend into scheduled or triggered analysis rather than only chat-initiated questions.
