to your stack & domain
Cohere's Command, Embed, and Rerank model families for enterprise search and RAG, including private deployment. Scrums.com delivery teams integrate and govern them inside your stack on the SEOP.
How this operator works
every way of working, already decidedOwns the system, not the ticket
Takes end-to-end ownership of a service or surface. Design, delivery, on-call. And is measured on outcomes, not hours.
Embedded, async-first, instrumented
Works inside your repos, your CI and your rituals. Daily written standups, decisions logged. No status-meeting tax.
Runbooks, canaries, reversible deploys
Every change gated and reversible. Incidents get a timeline and a postmortem; nothing ships without a rollback.
Plugged into your Slack & rituals
Joins standups and retros, reports weekly against the goal. You get an operator, not a queue.
Brings a pre-wired stack or adopts yours
Infrastructure and observability as code by default. No bespoke setup tax to absorb.
Scoped, gated, reversible
Week-1 shadow, week-2 ownership, swap on request inside the trial window. No long-tail handover risk.
Overview
Cohere is an enterprise-focused AI company whose model families — Command for generation, Embed for retrieval, and Rerank for relevance — are built around enterprise search, retrieval-augmented generation, and multilingual business workloads. Cohere is distinctive for meeting enterprises where their data lives, including private and on-premises deployment.
Through Scrums.com, Cohere's models become a governed part of your stack. Scrums.com delivery teams integrate them into your search, RAG, and agent systems — with evals, guardrails, and cost and outcome tracking on the SEOP.
What it does
Command generation models
The Command family handles enterprise text generation — chat, summarisation, tool use, and RAG-grounded answers over business data.
Embed retrieval models
Embed models turn documents and queries into vectors for semantic search and retrieval across large multilingual corpora.
Rerank relevance models
Rerank models re-order search results by true relevance, sharpening retrieval quality in search and RAG pipelines.
Private deployment
Cohere's models can run in your virtual private cloud or on-premises, keeping sensitive data inside your security boundary.
Deploying it with Scrums.com
- Scope. Scrums.com assesses which Cohere models fit your search, RAG, and generation use cases, alongside your data, residency, and compliance requirements.
- Integrate. Scrums.com engineers wire Cohere's API — or a private deployment — into your products, pipelines, and agents with evals and guardrails.
- Operate. Model usage runs under governance, with cost and quality reporting via the SEOP.
Commercial availability
Cohere's models are offered through an enterprise API, through major cloud marketplaces, and as private deployments in your VPC or on-premises environment. Model usage is contracted with Cohere or your cloud provider; Scrums.com delivers the integration, governance, and operation around it.
FAQs
Are Cohere's models open weights or hosted API?
Cohere's commercial families are accessed as a hosted API or licensed for private deployment; its research arm has published open-weight models separately. For enterprise production use, the API and private-deployment routes are standard.
What does a deployment need?
A Cohere account and API keys, a cloud marketplace subscription, or — for private deployment — infrastructure inside your VPC or data centre, plus scoped access to the data sources your search and RAG pipelines will index.
Where does our data flow?
Hosted usage flows to Cohere's endpoints or stays within your cloud provider's environment via marketplaces; private deployments keep documents, queries, and outputs entirely inside your boundary. Scrums.com designs the deployment so the data path matches your compliance requirements.
