Compass is coming to the cloud

Cohere’s Compass is an enterprise retrieval platform designed for generative AI, RAG systems, and agents, addressing the need to reduce token costs, support multi-step agent queries, and simplify fragmented search infrastructure. It combines connectors, document parsing, dense and sparse embeddings, indexing, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and governance in a configurable service, with document-level permissions and retention policies enforced during retrieval. Compass supports conventional and agentic applications through APIs for custom integrations and a Model Context Protocol server that exposes retrieval tools to compatible agents. Cohere reports that its hybrid retrieval and reranking approach improved nDCG@10 accuracy by 14 to 16 points over Azure Search on its internal High Finance benchmark, and it is offering private beta access to teams building retrieval-intensive applications.
