    The problem

    Enterprises face challenges in integrating AI into operations due to fragmented data, security concerns, and the need for customizable solutions. Many existing AI tools lack flexibility for private, on-premises, or isolated deployments, limiting their utility for regulated industries.

    The product approach

    Cohere offers a platform called North, which provides agentic AI capabilities for enterprises. The platform includes generative models (e.g., Command), retrieval optimization (Rerank), and multilingual tools (e.g., Translate, Parse). It supports deployment options such as on-premises, isolated VPCs, and Model Vault, a dedicated inference platform with end-to-end encryption.

    Unlike generic AI tools, Cohere emphasizes enterprise-specific requirements such as security, control, and customization. The platform is designed to be deployable on the customer’s terms, including private or sovereign AI solutions, as highlighted by partnerships like the one with Aleph Alpha.
