Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Cohere

Application

CompassApplication

An enterprise search and discovery system over a company's own scattered data, sold as a configured end-to-end product rather than as a raw retrieval API.

NorthApplication

Workplace assistant that runs agents over a company's internal documents and tools, deployable in the customer's own environment.

North AutomationsApplication

Workflow-orchestration layer inside Cohere North that lets employees describe a goal in plain language and turns it into a coordinated, multi-model, multi-step automation with approval checkpoints and usage tracking.

API service

ParseAPI service

Document parsing that turns enterprise documents, tables and images into structured data for search and agents to consume.

DX

Application

DX AIApplication

DX AI is a conversational interface for exploring an organization's engineering data held in DX, described by the vendor as 'the copilot for engineering leaders.' It answers natural-language questions with generated charts, summarizes qualitative snapshot data into themes and sentiment, and diagnoses the drivers behind metric changes. Its data can also be streamed into external LLM clients via the DX MCP server.

API service

DX MCP ServerAPI service

The DX MCP server exposes a customer's DX data to MCP-compatible AI clients such as Claude, Cursor and Devin Desktop. It is deliberately read-only, offering tools to list and retrieve software catalog entities, scorecards and initiatives, and teams, plus execution of SQL queries against the DX Data Cloud PostgreSQL database. It is available as a DX-hosted remote endpoint at ai.getdx.com/mcp or run locally from DX's open-source dx-mcp-server repository.

Model VaultInfrastructure service

Fully managed, network-isolated SaaS inference platform for serving Cohere's embedding, reranking and generative models in production, with auto-scaling and no rate limits.

Model API

Cohere PlatformModel API

Hosted API for Cohere's generation, embedding and reranking models, billed per token.

Developer tool

AI Code InsightsDeveloper tool

AI Code Insights measures what AI coding agents produce inside an engineering organization, tracking AI-generated code by commit, PR, team, agent and repo from IDE to production. It attributes authorship by monitoring supported coding agents' edits and links them to commits, pull requests and deployments, reporting adoption, delivery velocity, code-quality signals and session-level agent performance. It includes the Agent Experience report, which scores requirements clarity, steering and task scope from the agent's perspective.

DX CLIDeveloper tool

Command-line interface to a DX instance, built so coding agents can drive it: it ships an agent skill telling an agent when and how to call the CLI, and covers the same catalog, scorecard and self-service operations a human uses the dashboard for.

FabricDeveloper tool

Fabric is DX's context layer for AI agents, marketed as 'the context engine for AI-native engineering.' It turns an organization's software catalog into structured, live context that agents can query, and adds scorecards and self-service automation so agents can create services, provision infrastructure and resolve failing standards checks. Context is exposed to any MCP-compatible agent via the DX MCP server.
