A Planner Agent is announced as “coming soon”.

What the free plan includes
14-day trial in a private workspace, no credit card. After 14 days, the workspace becomes read-only.
Nova’s advice
Use the trial to understand the logic, then ask for a demo on your own budget.
A first try, in 30 minutes
Your data. Pigment displays security certifications, data in Frankfurt and Oregon, and says it never uses your data to train external AI models.
What it does less well
- No public price outside the trial.
- The Planner Agent is announced “coming soon” on the page: another vendor page describes it in the present tense, so its status is unclear.
Have the Analyst Agent explain a budget variancePigment- Import a budget and actuals for a month you know.
- Ask the agent for the three variances that matter.
- Compare its explanations with yours.
- Note what it cannot know: a contract, a commercial decision.
- Keep your comments and delete the rest.
The prompt to copy
Compare actuals and budget for [period] for [scope]. Give the three largest variances in amount, with the line, the direction and the budget assumption concerned. Explain a cause only if the data show it. Otherwise write “to ask the business”.
