The details
AI Agent Creation and Deployment: Users can build AI agents for HR, finance, customer support, and IT tasks without coding.
Integration and Implementation: North integrates with workplace tools and runs securely behind firewalls, eliminating custom development needs.
Advanced Search with Compass: Features a secure multimodal search system that processes various data types including images, documents, and spreadsheets across languages.
Cohere
Cohere was founded in 2019 by Aidan Gomez, Ivan Zhang, and Nick Frosst. Gomez co-authored the influential "Attention Is All You Need" paper at Google Brain, Zhang was a skilled software engineer and researcher, and Frosst previously worked at Google Brain with Geoffrey Hinton
Why it matters
Cohere's launch of North positions the company as an enterprise-focused alternative to OpenAI and Google, expanding beyond language models into AI agents. This represents another move in the competitive AI agents market, where major tech companies are competing to capture enterprise customers through specialized, secure platforms rather than general-purpose AI tools.
