Cohere presented North 2 on October 5 with controls that track agent and user consumption and cap usage across a company. Its enterprise platform also retains context between sessions and shares reusable work across teams. The announcement brings these capabilities under the North 2 name; individual components already appeared in August and September releases.

Administrators can cap consumption across a company
Cohere, the enterprise AI company, presented North 2 on October 5 as an upgrade to its platform for agents that carry out multistep work. North Admin, its management console, measures token consumption for individual users and agents. Tokens are the units models process. Administrators can set request and token rates for users and groups, apply company-wide usage caps and configure warnings before a limit is reached.[1]
The platform includes persistent memory, shared libraries and expanded administrative controls. Memory keeps context between sessions, while libraries pool documents and other resources across teams. The October 5 announcement does not establish that every component first became available that day: component changes also appeared in August and September releases.[1], [2]
Reusable agents carry work between teams
Employees can create agents with prompts and share them across an organization. Reusable skills hold logic needed repeatedly. The revised orchestration system brings a person into a workflow when approval is required. North 2 can also prepare slide decks, dashboards and lightweight applications whose prototypes are made inside the chat window.[1]
Available connections include Slack, GitHub, SharePoint and OneDrive. Connections to financial information providers PitchBook, S&P Global and FactSet remain planned. Teams can run customer-supplied models alongside Cohere models.[1]
North runs inside customer-controlled infrastructure
North can run on a customer's premises, in its virtual private cloud or in an installation disconnected from outside networks. These deployment choices remain part of North 2. Security policies apply separately to agents, screening prompts and responses for personal information and attempted instruction injection. Autonomy policies restrict agents to authorized actions.[1], [2]
Bell Cyber, Bell Canada's cybersecurity unit, uses North in security operations. South Korean IT services provider LG CNS uses it internally and supplies it to customers. North reached general availability in August 2025.[1]
