Cohere
Definition
Enterprise AI platform specializing in retrieval and generation. Provides Embed (vector search), Rerank (relevance ranking), and Command R+ (generation). Optimized for RAG pipelines and enterprise search. Retrieves the right information but does not govern what agents do with it.
Why It Matters
RAG systems powered by Cohere surface accurate context. But accurate context doesn't prevent harmful tool calls. A correctly retrieved fact about your database schema can still lead to a destructive mutation. Retrieval quality and action safety are different problems.
How Exogram Addresses This
Exogram governs actions agents take based on Cohere-retrieved context. Good context doesn't guarantee safe actions — and bad context can't bypass deterministic enforcement. Exogram validates the action, not the context.
