Pigment's prompt-built forms inherit the row-level permissions of the model beneath them
Frames builds forms and scenario planners from a prompt and wires them into the live planning model, which means it inherits the access rights already sitting there along with any mistakes in them, and hands a human the job of certifying formulas an agent wrote.

buildOne report1 publisher Stripe paid $7B for a router. Glean is selling the choice not to call a model at all
Glean says its customers mostly turn on automatic model selection to control spend, not to improve answers. The routing layer, not the model, is where enterprise AI budgets now get decided.

amber's 7mn-euro bet: the AI cost centre has moved upstream of the model
The Aachen company sells data structuring before the prompt, and claims up to 60% lower token costs. That figure is its own, unaudited, and hedged.
