PwC and Cohere announced a global enterprise AI alliance on October 5, with Canada as its first market.

Cohere will supply its North platform, enterprise models and tools for finding information. PwC will help clients choose use cases, connect company data and systems, and establish controls for deployment.

From pilots to wider deployment

The companies say clients will be able to use AI for internal search, research, decision support and task automation. Their deployment options include private cloud, customer premises and environments isolated from external networks.

The PwC announcement gives no customer pricing or dates for expansion beyond Canada.
