Exogram + Cohere
“Enterprise search, not enterprise governance.”
What Cohere Does
- •Cohere provides enterprise-grade models for search (Embed, Rerank) and generation (Command R+).
- •Strong RAG capabilities with optimized retrieval pipelines.
- •No execution governance — agents can act on retrieved context without validation.
What Exogram Does
- ▸Exogram governs actions that agents take based on Cohere-retrieved context.
- ▸RAG systems surface the right information. Exogram ensures agents don't misuse it.
- ▸Search accuracy doesn't prevent destructive actions — a correctly retrieved fact can still lead to a harmful tool call.
Key Differences
| Dimension | Cohere | Exogram |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Retrieval quality | Execution governance |
| Action Validation | None | Deterministic enforcement |
The Verdict
Use Cohere for retrieval. Use Exogram to govern what agents do with what they find. Good context ≠ safe actions.
Interception Latency Benchmark
Unlike standard LLM-based guardrails that invoke external APIs on every single tool execution, Exogram compiles policies to execute in-memory inside the client runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Exogram compete with Cohere Embed or Rerank?
No. Exogram actually uses vector search (via Pinecone) internally. Cohere and Exogram operate at different layers — retrieval vs. governance.
