Pigment introduces Frames to reimagine business planning with AI-built interfaces

New capabilities bridge the gap between individual AI productivity and enterprise governance, allowing teams to turn plain-language descriptions into live, governed planning interfaces.

The company also announced new agent connectors and is now the first EPM platform to offer a free trial and a guided onboarding experience with AI.

Pigment, the AI business planning and performance management platform, today announced a major revolution in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) with the announcement of Pigment Frames, a groundbreaking generative UI capability that enables teams to build limitless, fully custom, and personalized planning interfaces. Alongside Frames, Pigment unveiled Agent Connectors, which allows Pigment’s AI agents to reach out to the tools where business context already lives. Finally, the company also broke industry norms by rolling out the first free trial on an enterprise planning platform, guided end-to-end by AI.

Beyond AI Prototypes: If you can describe it, Pigment can build it

Standalone AI tools popularized "describe-and-it-appears" interfaces, but they remain trapped in individual productivity silos by producing ungoverned prototypes cut off from live enterprise systems. Pigment Frames solves this fundamental trade-off, bringing the ultimate flexibility of custom AI development into a fully governed, collaborative enterprise platform.

With Pigment Frames, the philosophy is simple: if you can describe it, you can build it. Already in use by customers like Uber, Glean, and Unilever , business users can now turn plain-language descriptions into custom data-entry forms with built-in validation logic, interactive what-if scenario planners, or presentation-grade executive slide decks in minutes. Because every Frame lives directly on Pigment’s unified planning model, it inherits enterprise-grade security, live two-way data write-back, and user access rights by default.

“Frames fills the critical gap between backend data models and executive-level presentations.  It flips the script on traditional model building, allowing us to start with the end in mind, prototype interactive logic, and present live, governed data during dynamic planning meetings without ever leaving Pigment.”

Ashish Banka, Principal IT Software Engineer, Palo Alto Networks

“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 at BYOMA

“Frames brings our entire reporting process into Pigment, from data and visualization to a polished experience for management. 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. It's a true game-changer.”

Thierry Anthony, Business Transformation Manager at VINCI Concessions

Frames will be available in Open Beta to all customers on September 28th.

Agent Connectors: Completing a Secure, Two-Way AI Exchange

Pigment's new Agent Connectors complete a two-way exchange with the broader AI ecosystem, powered by the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. While external tools like Claude and ChatGPT can already seamlessly analyze data and build models within Pigment via the Pigment MCP Server, Agent Connectors enable Pigment’s native AI to autonomously pull real-time business context from external apps like Notion, Google Drive, and Slack. Both directions operate strictly within existing user permissions, giving teams the vast reach of the AI ecosystem without compromising enterprise governance and security. Specifically:

  • Two-Way Ecosystem: Combines the Pigment MCP Server (bringing Pigment to external AI tools) with new Agent Connectors (bringing external context to Pigment).
  • Automated Context: Pigment's AI can pull objectives, specs, and updates directly from Notion, Google Drive, and Slack, eliminating manual copy-pasting.
  • Enterprise Governance: Every connection in either direction respects existing access rights, merging the power of a vast AI ecosystem with secure enterprise governance.
“Notion brings teams, AI and shared knowledge together to move work forward. When Pigment’s agents can draw on that context, teams can ground planning and decision-making in the thinking they have already captured”

Andrew McCarthy, General Manager EMEA, Notion

Instant Time-to-Value: The First Free Trial on an EPM Platform with AI

In an industry traditionally defined by long sales cycles and months of setup, Pigment is introducing the first free trial on an EPM platform, featuring Intent Modeling. Prospective users can bypass heavy technical setup to explore ideas right away. By simply describing what they need, Pigment's AI agent builds a working starter model and interactive board in minutes, delivering a guided trial experience built on the same enterprise-grade foundation trusted by Unilever, Danone, and Snowflake.
