What is Pigment?

Pigment's agent push has paused while the planning surface around it gets systematized.

Pigment's recent releases split into two streams. The agent stream peaked in late July when Agents moved to the homepage and began working across multiple Applications in a single conversation. Everything since has been platform craft: chart formatting and readability, View Templates, live deployment progress, metric difference detection, and Metric data kept in sync across environments. Three newer undated entries continue that pattern with per-series chart control, wider View Template options, and a centralized usage overview spanning Workspaces.

What is Stigg?

Stigg adds credit reservation and settlement for AI operations days after its agent SDK.

Stigg can now reserve credits before an AI operation starts and settle the actual cost when it finishes. It follows the beta Agent Governance SDK, an open-source library built on Stigg's entitlements engine. Earlier October releases added an Airwallex billing backend, credit usage grouped by feature and a Stripe Projects listing.

Pigment's agent push has paused while the planning surface around it gets systematized.

◆ Current state

Pigment's recent releases split into two streams. The agent stream peaked in late July when Agents moved to the homepage and began working across multiple Applications in a single conversation. Everything since has been platform craft: chart formatting and readability, View Templates, live deployment progress, metric difference detection, and Metric data kept in sync across environments. Three newer undated entries continue that pattern with per-series chart control, wider View Template options, and a centralized usage overview spanning Workspaces.

◆ Where it's heading

Agent capability has slowed while the surrounding model surface is being made consistent. Templates are becoming the unit of that consistency, with a Simple View Template now settable as the default for all new Views in an Application and duplicable across Applications. Environment management is maturing in parallel through deployment progress and connected Metric data that travels with a deployment and cannot be edited downstream. The new Workspace usage overview points somewhere different again, at administrators of multi-workspace estates who need cells, AI credits and storage in one view.

◆ Prediction

Expect the usage overview to grow from warnings into capacity administration, since the limits it reports against already exist. The agent stream is the one to watch for a resumption, and the open question the cross-Application work raised is governance over what an agent may reach.

Stigg adds credit reservation and settlement for AI operations days after its agent SDK.

◆ Current state

Stigg can now reserve credits before an AI operation starts and settle the actual cost when it finishes. It follows the beta Agent Governance SDK, an open-source library built on Stigg's entitlements engine. Earlier October releases added an Airwallex billing backend, credit usage grouped by feature and a Stripe Projects listing.

◆ Where it's heading

Credits have become Stigg's main pricing unit, and the product is adapting them to AI workloads whose cost isn't known up front. Reserve and settle, together with the governance SDK, turns the entitlements engine into a spending control for agents.

◆ Prediction

Expect the governance SDK to use reservations directly for agent limits, and more reporting on reserved versus settled usage.
