Enterprise Use
Cohere is positioned as an enterprise-first AI platform, with a strong focus on data privacy, deployment flexibility, and business use cases. Its embedding and rerank models are widely used in enterprise search and RAG applications. Unlike consumer-focused AI providers, Cohere does not offer a consumer chat product — it is exclusively focused on enterprise API and platform customers. Private cloud and on-premises deployment options make it suitable for regulated industries.
Tips
- Use Cohere Embed for building semantic search over enterprise document repositories.
- Combine Embed + Rerank in RAG pipelines for significantly better retrieval quality than embedding alone.
- Use Cohere's private deployment options when data residency or air-gapped deployment is required.
