Cohere - Enterprise AI Platform for RAG & Semantic Search

Cohere builds AI products for enterprises, developers, and public-sector organizations. Its offerings include language and translation models, semantic search, reranking, embeddings, document parsing, transcription, and agentic workflows.

Users can access models through Cohere’s cloud API, private deployments, or managed Model Vault infrastructure. Trial API keys are free but rate-limited; production API usage and enterprise products cost extra.

  • Embed models for semantic search, classification, and clustering
  • Rerank models for improving search relevance
  • Parse for document intelligence and structured extraction
  • Transcribe for audio-to-text transcription
  • North agentic enterprise AI platform
  • Compass intelligent search and discovery system
  • Model Vault managed private model deployment
