Cohere’s new AI agent platform, North, promises to keep enterprise data secure
Canadian AI firm Cohere is taking aim at alleviating data privacy concerns with its new AI agent platform, North, which can be deployed privately so that enterprises and governments can keep their, and customers', data safe behind their own firewalls.
Large enterprises with trade secrets, companies in highly regulated industries, and government agencies have thought more than twice about bringing in AI tools out of concern that their — or worse, their customers’ — data could inadvertently be compromised, or used to train foundation models. Like other AI agent platforms, North can connect to existing workplace tools like Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, Outlook and Linear, and integrate with any Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to access industry-specific or in-house applications.
