Cohere announces North 2 enterprise agentic AI platform

Cohere says North 2’s orchestration system can manage complex, multistep processes independently.[1] Users can create reusable agents and automations and share them across their organization.[1] The platform’s memory lets agents retain context across sessions, while skills package capabilities agents can call on and libraries provide shared organizational knowledge and assets.[1] Together, these features describe how teams could build and reuse agent workflows rather than start each session without context. That makes the practical test for buyers how well those shared resources fit their own processes.

North 2 includes automation templates, a drag-and-drop workflow builder, real-time performance monitoring and integrations with existing tools, Cohere says.[1] Its listed enterprise connectors include Slack, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Exchange, Jira, Linear, Notion and GitHub.[1] Cohere plans to add financial-data connectors for PitchBook, Crunchbase, Daloopa, FiscalAI, S&P Global and FactSet.[1] Users can also prototype and ship decks, dashboards, documents and lightweight apps using natural language, according to Cohere.[1] Buyers should distinguish the listed connectors from those Cohere says it plans to add.

Administrators can set consumption tiers by request and token rates for users and groups, with alerts before limits apply.[2] The platform’s security guardrails scan prompts and responses for personally identifiable information and detect prompt injection; its autonomy policies restrict agents to authorized actions and route critical decisions to a human, Cohere says.[2] Cohere lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications.[2] North 2 supports self-hosted, VPC, hybrid and on-premises deployments.[1]

Cohere says North can run its models or models customers bring themselves.[2] VentureBeat reported that Cohere provided no performance benchmarks for North 2.[2] Cohere says it rolled out North over the last year across finance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, energy and the public sector.[1] Reported examples include Bell Cyber using North in its security operations and LG CNS leveraging it to bring AI to customers across South Korea.[3][1]
