Cohere pitches North 2 as the enterprise AI control room that works with any model
Cohere has announced North 2, a revamped version of its enterprise platform that it describes as a control center for AI agents. According to the company, the system handles multi-step workflows on its own and retains context across sessions.
The platform includes an orchestration system that coordinates agents which draw on shared knowledge libraries and reusable skills while connecting to tools including Slack, SharePoint, and Jira. North 2 also generates presentations, dashboards, and simple apps directly from text prompts in its chat interface.
North 2 is model-agnostic, and organizations can plug in their own models alongside Cohere's own offerings, such as Command A+. Administrators use a component called North Admin to manage token usage, user quotas, and access rights down to individual agents. When agents take critical actions, they request human approval first.
On Nvidia's Blackwell and Hopper hardware, Cohere says its models need fewer tokens. The company states that LG CNS and Bell Cyber are already running North in production.
Cohere is targeting government agencies and regulated industries that want to keep AI under their own control, an audience also served by Aleph Alpha. Cohere announced its acquisition of the Heidelberg-based company in April. Aleph Alpha recently resurfaced with Kolibri, a German-English language model.
Companies can run the platform on-premises, in the cloud, or fully air-gapped, according to the announcement.
