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 Treasury Prime?

BaaS infrastructure platform in steady operational-polish mode — ACH reliability, Prime Data fields, Console workflow upgrades.

Treasury Prime is a banking-as-a-service infrastructure platform serving banks and fintechs. The visible window is dominated by operational polish — flexible ACH return filing, transaction-table filters and sorting, ACH trace numbers exposed in both API and the Snowflake-based Prime Data mart, and a beta payment-limit notifications surface in the Console.

7.5

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.

T5.0

BaaS infrastructure platform in steady operational-polish mode — ACH reliability, Prime Data fields, Console workflow upgrades.

◆ Current state

Treasury Prime is a banking-as-a-service infrastructure platform serving banks and fintechs. The visible window is dominated by operational polish — flexible ACH return filing, transaction-table filters and sorting, ACH trace numbers exposed in both API and the Snowflake-based Prime Data mart, and a beta payment-limit notifications surface in the Console.

◆ Where it's heading

The throughline is closing edge-case operational gaps for bankers and reconciliation teams. Each release fixes a specific manual workaround (duplicate ACH returns, missing account.status, missing FedNow reject reasons) or surfaces an existing field where it was previously unavailable (trace_number, closed_date, DW_UPDATED_TS). Snowflake migration of Prime Data continues underneath. No directional pivots — pure platform hardening.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Beta-tier surfaces (notifications, changelog inbox) graduating to GA as customer feedback firms up. Continued ACH and FedNow workflow refinement, and Prime Data field-by-field expansion to reach API parity. The Snowflake-only future after V1 deprecation shapes upcoming data work.
