The company has unveiled North 2, the new version of its AI platform for businesses, with tools to build agents that carry out multi-step tasks. It adds memory across sessions, a visual workflow builder and connectors for Slack, Jira, Notion or GitHub.
Companies can set roles and permissions, decide who uses each model, limit spending and have agents ask for human oversight on critical decisions. The platform supports models from Cohere and from third parties, and it can run in the cloud, on-premises or in environments isolated from external networks.
Among the uses Cohere mentions are handling customer issues, financial analysis and programming. OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft and Mistral also compete in that market.
