North 2: Enterprise AI without compromises North 2 is Cohere’s biggest upgrade yet — unifying enterprise‑grade security, intelligence, cost governance, and full‑stack control into a single agentic AI platform that runs wherever your data lives.

Key takeaways New agent harness: North 2 has a redesigned orchestration system enabling more sophisticated, reliable, multi-step automations and agents across the enterprise. Increased intelligence: Build smarter workflows and richer agent chat experiences using memory, libraries, skills, artifact, and app creation. Model agnostic: Whether you’re using Cohere’s models — or bringing your own — use the models that support your team’s best work. AI sovereignty: You’ll get full control over where and how AI runs, with flexible cloud, on‑premises, and air‑gapped deployments. Enterprise governance: North admin adds granular cost controls, rate limits, user quotas, and org-wide caps for predictable, governed AI operations.

For the past few years, enterprises have been racing to deploy agentic AI, and they’ve paid for it in complexity, cost, and compromise. Every option demanded a sacrifice: the platform that's secure enough wasn’t smart enough; the one that's smart enough wasn’t controllable enough; the one you could govern became too expensive to run at scale.

North 2 is where that tradeoff ends.

Over the last year, Cohere has rolled out North across high-stakes industries, including finance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, energy, and the public sector, investing deeply in large-scale production deployments. This has shaped North 2 into a full-stack agentic platform built for organizations that can't afford to compromise on security, intelligence, cost, or control. Enterprises choose North to ensure the journey to AI ROI is more predictable, transparent, and fully owned by the enterprise.

Here's what that looks like in practice.

Intelligence that scales with your enterprise North works with your knowledge, and now you can teach it more about what success means within your organization.

Users can now create reusable agents and automations that can be shared across the organization, eliminating the need to rebuild similar workflows repeatedly. Prototype documents or apps directly in chat, or connect North to your favorite existing tools.

At the core of North 2 is an advanced agent orchestration system that manages complex, multi-step processes independently. Build agents and automations with simple prompts, and automate your most tedious workflows — helping keep humans-in-the-loop where it matters. Core features included in North 2 Skills : Reusable capabilities agents can call on, so no employee wastes time rebuilding the same logic. Libraries : Shared knowledge and assets that the whole org can draw from. Memory : Agents that keep context across sessions, instead of starting cold every time. Applications : Prototype and ship decks, dashboards, documents, and lightweight apps from natural language. Automations : Pre-built templates for common processes, a drag-and-drop visual workflow builder, real-time performance monitoring, and integrations with the tools you already use. Connectors : Connect North to your data, with new connectors including enterprise connectors to Slack, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, Jira, Linear, Notion, and GitHub, plus planned financial data providers PitchBook, Crunchbase, Daloopa, FiscalAI, S&P Global, FactSet, among others.

LG CNS leverages North to bring AI to customers at scale across South Korea to unlock real business value. “North gives enterprises a secure, practical foundation for turning agentic AI into real business value. Our experience using North within LG CNS and bringing it to customers across Korea has reinforced our confidence in its ability to scale intelligent automation across the enterprise.”

— Yohan Jin, Head of AI Center, LG CNS

Enterprise-first security Agentic AI changes the risk calculus for every enterprise security team. With agents that touch internal tools, and models that risk exposure to prompt injection, it has never been more important to safeguard data.

North was built for that reality. It deploys privately on-prem, in the cloud, or fully air-gapped, and North Admin lets teams enforce guardrails at the individual...
