Cohere Chat API

The Cohere Chat API enables developers to integrate large language model text generation capabilities into their applications through a conversational interface. It supports multi-turn conversations, tool use with JSON schema definitions, retrieval-augmented generation, and streaming responses. The API is available via the v2 endpoint and works with Cohere's Command family of models.
