Cohere's latest innovation, Command R, introduces a Tool Use API designed to automate complex business workflows by allowing language models to interact with user-defined tools. This feature enables the creation of API payloads to automate tasks such as categorizing support tickets, updating CRM systems, and retrieving data from vector databases. By integrating with external systems and applications with APIs, Command R enhances productivity by transforming from simple chatbot functions to powerful agents capable of executing sophisticated tasks. In real-world evaluations, Command R outperforms competitors like Llama 2 70b and Mistral Large, proving its efficacy in multi-turn conversational settings with a focus on high efficiency and flexibility across major cloud providers. The platform also supports automating CRM updates based on customer interactions, thereby streamlining processes and allowing sales teams to focus on relationship-building rather than manual data entry. Cohere encourages developers to explore the Tool Use API through documentation and community engagement, with ongoing developments such as multi-hop tool use expected to expand its capabilities further.
