Key takeaways
“I built an AI dashboard to visualize the results.”
We’ve all heard it recently. And the results usually look tantalizingly good - but that’s often where it ends.
Building something for yourself in an afternoon is now easy. But getting it into the hands of 200 people, with numbers everyone trusts, is hard: the interface belongs to whoever built it, nothing anyone types into it finds its way back to the model, and there's no way to personalize views for each user.
Frames gives you the same creative freedom, but the interfaces it builds run directly in and on Pigment: where the plan actually lives.
A Frame is a custom interface that lives inside your Pigment application. It reads and writes your live model in real time, respecting the access rights you already have configured.
Make every experience tailored
Frames can be whatever interface your team actually requires.
Visualize without constraints
Custom reporting pages, advanced visualizations and what-if interfaces running on Pigment's calculation engine.
"We can turn simple prompts or reference images into interactive executive dashboards, complex risk maps, and custom input forms in minutes. It brings our entire reporting journey from underlying data all the way to C-level presentation into one single, governed platform.”
Thierry Anthony, Business Transformation Manager, VINCI Concessions
The deck is the plan
Executive views, narrative reports and presentation-grade output, built directly on live data.
"Frames solves both our data foundation and visual presentation needs in one place. It gives senior directors the visual presentation they need without forcing us to leave Pigment or manage disconnected tools."
Lizbeth Alberto, Finance Manager, Unilever
Reach non-technical users
Forms, approval flows and guided experiences that write straight into your model. Frames makes life easy for the majority of users who need to contribute to a plan, but not learn to use a whole tool.
"For non-technical business users, navigating interconnected data cubes used to be overwhelming. Frames simplifies that into a single search bar, making multi-dimensional planning approachable for everyone."
Samuli Närhi, System Analyst at Supercell
Frames can match Pigment's native styling or look nothing like it. Organization-level design guidelines keep every Frame in an application consistent, so what your team opens feels like one product rather than twelve one-offs.

Why this only works where the plan lives
Generating a page is the easy part - what's hard is what happens when that page touches enterprise planning data.
- Frames can read or write to your live model: a number entered in a Frame is a number in the plan, and it flows through your calculation logic
- Access rights are inherited: a regional manager and a CFO can open the same Frame and see different data, based on their rights
- One live model: users can operate individually but contribute to the same single source of truth for the organization
- Nothing gets published unreviewed: a new or updated Frame stays private to its author until published, and the generated code passes an automated security and performance review first
"Pigment's live, governed data model is fundamental to our single source of truth, but Frames takes it to another level by adding a new layer of visualisation and interaction. There's the potential to create the most beautiful, interactive site to represent your data with condensed executive views, instant forecast comparisons, and polished P&L dashboards backed by real-time, trusted numbers."
Liam Boyle, Head of Data & Business Intelligence, BYOMA
How does it work?
Describe or show (via file upload) what you want to the Modeler Agent inside Pigment, or build from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through MCP. Then iterate the same way - change it in a sentence.
