The goal thereafter is to extend the Cohere integration into end-user enterprise deployments, providing a new set of capabilities to help organizations deploy the most accurate models possible.

To help in-house developers, Cohere said it is releasing about 100 “quick start connectors” on Github for some of the most popular applications where enterprises store data, including GitHub, Asana, Slack, Dropbox, Google Drive and Pinecone.
