PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What is Cohere?
Cohere is an enterprise AI platform built around North, an agentic workplace system that automates routine tasks and complex workflows, and Compass, an intelligent search and discovery system with pre-built data connectors, document parsing, and a managed index. It also provides foundational models for generation, retrieval, speech recognition, translation, and document parsing, deployable through Model Vault or private deployments. Teams use Cohere to ground answers in enterprise data, surface insights across business systems, and move AI from proof of concept into production. Access includes a dashboard with a trial API key and custom enterprise pricing.
