Cohere

Cohere builds foundational AI models for enterprise deployment. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Toronto with a team of hundreds worldwide, the company develops large language models, semantic search and content generation systems designed to be secure, private and production-ready. Its stated position is that artificial intelligence should augment rather than replace human work, and that models must be deployed in environments where enterprise data remains controlled.

The company's product line spans enterprise foundational AI models, semantic search, content generation and customer experience applications, serving verticals including enterprise software, search, content and marketing, and customer support. Alongside its commercial work, Cohere runs Cohere Labs, a research initiative that has published more than 100 papers and built a community of over 4,500 researchers.

Cohere has raised nearly $1 billion across funding rounds. The organisation describes itself as research-oriented: most team members come from research backgrounds, and the company places weight on shipping technology that is used by real businesses over demonstrations. Engineering, research and problem-solving roles sit at the centre of the workforce.
