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.

What is TaxDome?

TaxDome adds AI document sorting on top of its already-broad firm-management surface.

TaxDome is shipping at a brisk pace across the practice-management spectrum — payments, client communication, pipeline tooling, and now AI document handling all moved forward in March. The product is settling into its identity as the all-in-one OS for tax and accounting firms, with each release closing a small daily friction point that competitors like Karbon and Canopy still expose.

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.

TaxDome adds AI document sorting on top of its already-broad firm-management surface.

◆ Current state

TaxDome is shipping at a brisk pace across the practice-management spectrum — payments, client communication, pipeline tooling, and now AI document handling all moved forward in March. The product is settling into its identity as the all-in-one OS for tax and accounting firms, with each release closing a small daily friction point that competitors like Karbon and Canopy still expose.

◆ Where it's heading

The releases cluster around three threads: monetization controls (technology fees, proposal deposits, firm-initiated payments), client communication automation (scheduled chat messages), and AI-driven workflow automation in document handling. Together they reinforce TaxDome's positioning as the system of record for the firm — not just a portal but the place where staff actually get work done.

◆ Prediction

Expect more AI workflow features next — likely AI-assisted return prep checklist creation and intake form auto-fill from uploaded documents, building on the same document-understanding capability that powers the new auto-matching.
