No free plan. The cheapest way in is North (Enterprise) at Custom (contact sales). Consider free alternatives in the enterprise ai assistant category if budget is tight.
North offers three deployment tiers: virtual private cloud (VPC) for cloud isolation, full on-premises installation for air-gapped environments, and Cohere's secure Model Vault for managed private inference. Each tier meets different regulatory requirements, with the on-premises option supporting HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR compliance for industries like healthcare, finance, and government.
North employs retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with comprehensive inline citations that ground every AI response in actual company documents from connected sources. Each claim links back to its paragraph-level source, allowing reviewers to verify accuracy before acting on recommendations in high-stakes workflows.
Yes, North's Agent Studio provides a fully no-code interface where business users define agent behavior through natural language prompts, connect data sources via click-to-configure integrations, and deploy multi-step workflows without writing any code. The platform includes guided templates to accelerate agent creation for common enterprise use cases.
North supports 100+ languages through Cohere's Command R+ model, which was specifically trained for multilingual enterprise contexts including professional terminology and compliance language. The platform handles cross-language retrieval and generation natively, enabling multinational organizations to deploy consistent AI capabilities across all operating regions.
Cohere North uses custom enterprise pricing with no published rates, typically requiring annual contracts with six-figure minimum commitments (generally starting around $100K/year) that scale based on user count, deployment model, and usage volume. Cloud-hosted plans tend to cost less than private or on-premises deployments. For comparison, competing enterprise AI platforms like Microsoft Copilot charge approximately $30/user/month. Prospective customers can request a free guided demo and proof-of-concept pilot through cohere.com/north before committing to a contract.
