What is Cotera?
Cotera is the AI platform that creates agents which do things, not just say things. We help businesses deploy intelligent automation that analyzes information, makes decisions, and takes actions to improve operations at scale.
The Problem with Traditional AI
Most AI tools are conversational - they answer questions and provide insights, but they can't take action on what they discover. Your data stays in your systems, AI insights stay in chat windows, and connecting the two requires custom development that most businesses can't afford.
Meanwhile, your business data contains everything AI needs to automate complex processes - customer interactions, transaction histories, operational metrics, and performance data. The missing piece is a platform that bridges intelligent analysis with real-world action.
How Cotera Works
AI Agents That Take Action
At the heart of Cotera are agents - AI-powered workers that analyze information and execute tasks automatically. Unlike conversational AI that just responds to questions, Cotera agents actively process your data, make decisions, and take concrete actions based on your business logic.
Agents can read text, process images, make complex decisions, and connect to hundreds of tools and services. They work continuously, applying the same intelligent analysis across any volume of data.
Two Ways to Deploy Agents
Cotera gives you flexibility in how you deploy agent intelligence:
Chat Agents: Conversational agents you can interact with directly, perfect for ad-hoc analysis, research tasks, or when you need to explore information dynamically. These agents can access your data, use tools, and help you investigate questions as they arise.
Dataset Agents: Agents deployed as columns within datasets, processing every row of your business data automatically. These agents transform raw information into structured intelligence, making AI insights part of your standard data infrastructure.
Your Data Becomes Agent-Accessible
Connect Cotera directly to your existing data warehouse - no data movement, no complex integrations. Create datasets that make your business information accessible to agents: customer records, support conversations, transaction data, or any information you want to analyze.
Datasets serve as the workspace where dataset agents operate, providing them with the context and structure they need to process information reliably at scale.
Flexible Intelligence Architecture
When working with dataset agents, you can combine different types of columns within your datasets, each performing different work:
- Agent columns apply AI analysis to understand and categorize information
- Formula columns perform calculations and data transformations
- Tool columns connect to external systems to send data or trigger actions
- Taxonomy columns organize content into business-relevant categories
Connected to Your Business Systems
Integrate with hundreds of tools and services through our extensive integration ecosystem. Both chat agents and dataset agents can fetch additional data when needed, send alerts, update CRM records, trigger workflows, or connect to any system your business uses. Custom integrations available on demand.
Real-World Impact
Automate Complex Processes
Replace manual workflows with intelligent automation that adapts to context. Customer service analysis becomes proactive issue resolution. Financial monitoring becomes automatic risk management. Quality control becomes real-time problem detection.
Scale Human Intelligence
Apply the same analytical thinking that your best employees use, but across unlimited amounts of data. Whether you're processing hundreds or millions of records, the same intelligent decision-making scales seamlessly.
Maintain Control While Gaining Flexibility
Choose exactly how much control to give your AI agents. Create highly structured workflows with predictable outcomes, or give agents flexibility to make contextual decisions. You control the boundaries.
Integrate Seamlessly
Dataset agent outputs appear as new columns in your datasets, making AI insights immediately available for reporting, analysis, and business intelligence. No separate systems to manage - intelligence lives alongside your data.
Who Can Use Cotera?
Cotera is designed for businesses or individuals that want to harness AI without requiring technical expertise. Our user-friendly interface makes it possible for anyone to create sophisticated AI workflows, while still providing the power and flexibility that technical teams need.
Whether you're in customer service, operations, finance, marketing, or any other business function, Cotera adapts to your specific needs and existing workflows.

Getting Started with Agents
Agents can work standalone as conversational assistants or be deployed within datasets to process your business data automatically. This flexibility means you can start with exploratory chat agents and progress to automated dataset agents as your needs evolve.
Whether you need simple data classification, complex multi-step business processes, or dynamic research capabilities, agents provide the intelligence layer that transforms information into automated business value.
