MANTRA DAO Initiates Survey Vote to Solicit Feedback on Team Token Burn Execution

Enterprise AI company Cohere has launched North 2, an internal AI work platform for businesses. North integrates with corporate documents, Slack, GitHub, and other systems, enabling employees to directly use agents to retrieve information, run workflows, and complete tasks. North 2 adds cross-session memory to agents, removing the need for employees to repeatedly provide context each time. Teams can also share knowledge bases, skills, agents, and automated workflows, so common tasks don’t have to be rebuilt from scratch. The platform allows companies to set granular permissions for different users and agents, restricting access to specific data, model calls, and operations. Administrators can configure token quotas, call frequencies, and total usage caps, while sensitive operations may require human confirmation. North supports cloud or private deployment, can run fully offline, and is compatible with models outside Cohere’s ecosystem.
