Pigment Expands Access to the Analyst Agent, Ushering in a New Era of Intelligent Enterprise Planning
Thursday, September 18, 2025
As the company's first native AI agent, the Analyst Agent joins new platform capabilities like Financial
Consolidation to make Pigment the first fully intelligent EPM solution
PARIS, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pigment, an AI business planning and performance management platform, today announced a major expansion of its Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solution, combining cutting-edge AI innovation with foundational finance capabilities to transform how companies plan, forecast, and make strategic decisions.
With the launch of Financial Consolidation and the expanded availability of the Analyst Agent, Pigment now delivers a single, connected platform built for scale, speed, and intelligence. This milestone accelerates the company's vision of autonomous planning, where people can manage performance seamlessly with data, systems, and AI agents that proactively surface insights and guide decisions.
"Planning and performance management have always been a means to an end to help companies achieve their business objectives," said Eléonore Crespo, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Pigment. "We're now entering a new chapter where AI is transforming how planning happens, freeing leaders to focus on true performance. The Analyst Agent acts like an autonomous, highly skilled teammate, uncovering insights instantly so teams can focus on the 'so what.' Extending access to the Analyst Agent is just the beginning of a broader network of agentic capabilities that will drive higher performance and make work more meaningful."
AI That's Built In, Not Bolted On
Unlike add-on copilots or disconnected tools, Pigment AI is built into the platform meaning it's always live, always context-aware, and always ready to act. The Analyst Agent works like an embedded teammate in every model, scenario, and workflow, cutting hours of manual reporting and analysis. It detects anomalies, surfaces risks, and generates tailored dashboards and reports, all grounded in each customer's unique business logic. The result is proactive, explainable insights with people firmly in the driver's seat. For example, a finance team closing the month can start with a ready-to-review budget vs. actuals report, auto-generated with the latest data, variance commentary, and their preferred format.
From Visibility to Foresight
The Analyst Agent continuously analyzes data, detects anomalies, and generates deep, contextual insights. Key capabilities include:
-- Insights at scale: automated analysis across massive datasets to uncover
patterns, risks, and opportunities.
-- Anomaly detection and deep analysis: early identification of risks with
drill-downs into the root causes.
-- Next-step recommendations: based on insights surfaced, the Analyst Agent
suggests tailored, context-aware recommendations
-- Automated, flexible reporting: personalized dashboards, written
summaries, slide and audio recaps tailored to each audience.
Customers are already reporting significant time savings and decision-making improvements with the Analyst Agent. "Pigment's agentic AI capabilities make us feel like 'mini CFOs' within our departments. It's a game-changer for how we collaborate, analyze, and make decisions," said Montaek Kohli, Strategic Finance Manager at Carta. Building on this, Anthony Lewis, Strategic Finance Manager, added: "By taking away the often repetitive grunt work, our team is free to focus on strategy and spend more time driving impact rather than just compiling data. A task that used to take three hours can now be done in just 30 minutes, all the while allowing us to go deeper in our analyses, run them more frequently, and uncover insights that simply weren't possible before."
Additionally, strategic alliances already see the value for their clients. "For our clients, the Analyst Agent can help planners move from analysis to action in real-time, by pre-analyzing trends and seeding insights. The ability to automate complex variance analysis, detect anomalies, and surface the 'why' behind outcomes represents a new era in enterprise planning where people and agents collaborate, improving speed of execution and improved agility. We are excited to be working closely with Pigment to help our clients deploy these capabilities and make that future a reality for our clients," said Simmi Mehta, Principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Powered by a Scalable, Next-Generation Engine
Pigment's elastic architecture is built for AI planning at enterprise scale, handling massive data, users, and computations with ease. Over the past 18 months, we've unlocked new compute and storage engines that dynamically scale to expand during peak cycles and contract in quieter periods. This enables hundreds of autonomous agents to perform thousands of tasks simultaneously, delivering faster model calculations, higher query throughput, and consistently reliable performance for complex enterprise planning scenarios.
Unifying FP&A and Financial Consolidation
Pigment is also introducing Financial Consolidation capabilities for a seamless end to end experience for the entire Office of the CFO, as well as a specialized Consolidation Agent. By combining FP&A and Consolidation in one platform, finance teams can:
-- Eliminate the gap between actuals and plans by working from a single
source of truth
-- Accelerate reporting and budgeting cycles
-- Make strategic decisions with insights from multiple scopes and
scenarios
This integrated approach ensures that the outcomes of a streamlined consolidation process fuels sharper, AI-driven insights for trusted FP&A - helping companies navigate complexity with precision.
What's Next: A Network of Specialized Agents
The Analyst Agent is the first step in Pigment's Agentic AI roadmap, and part of its broader vision to build a modern, intelligent planning platform for the enterprise. Pigment's specialized agents are multi-faceted, combining generic planning skills, deep domain expertise and customer specific data to reflect each company's unique context and use cases. The Analyst Agent will shortly be followed by:
-- The Modeler Agent which autonomously builds and adapts planning models
as conditions change
-- The Planner Agent which simulates scenarios and recommends strategic
actions
-- Use case specific agents, including a Consolidation Agent, which
automates financial consolidation to unify reporting and actuals with
FP&A
Together, these agents will enable organizations to plan not just faster, but smarter--turning AI into a true collaborative partner. The Analyst Agent and Financial Consolidation capabilities are now available for all Pigment customers. Learn more here.
