North Automations: Introducing an AI Workflow Automation Solution

As the adoption of AI agents spreads within enterprises, real implementation-stage limitations are emerging, such as narrow single-task-focused workstreams, lack of governance, and excessive costs. To address this, Cohere has introduced North Automations, which goes beyond simple task automation to provide outcome-driven, coordinated workflows.

North Automations is built on North, Cohere's secure agent platform, and is designed to let employees—regardless of technical proficiency—leverage the following capabilities.

• Simplifying complex workflows: Describe goals in natural language, connect your tech stack, and create execution paths through loops and branching structures.
• Step-by-step control and optimization: Select the appropriate model for each step to balance cost and performance, with versioning and testing features provided.
• Scalable AI governance: Set up peer approval steps and manage cost and security through token usage monitoring and usage analytics.

This solution can be securely deployed in both on-premises and cloud environments, and flexibly integrates not only with Cohere's dedicated models but also with external LLMs. It also supports the use of custom tools via MCP and building custom agent platforms via SDK.
