Access is the main limitation. Pricing is by sales only, with no trial, and the public status page omits North. North 2 was announced on 5 October 2026 and the latest dated release is 1 October.\n\n**Gemini Enterprise.** The assistant is callable through a GA v1 method with a 99.5 per cent SLA, OAuth through IAM, a public Discovery document and optional Model Armor screening. Seat prices weren't found on Google's pages, onboarding needs a billing account and a person, and some Gemini agent capabilities announced on 8 October are early access.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cohere North\n\n1. Get the North host from your admin and call https://\u003chost\u003e/api. Cohere-hosted examples use north.cohere.com\n2. Request an OAuth token with only the scopes the task needs, such as chat_v2_ext, rather than a pasted developer token\n3. Retry only when is_retryable is true, waiting retry_after_seconds or Retry-After, with backoff capped near 60 seconds\n4. Strip raw_prompt and raw_generation from chat responses before keeping them in context\n5. Use /v1/responses to call North through the OpenAI SDK by changing the base URL and key\n\n### Gemini Enterprise\n\n1. Create a Gemini Enterprise app first. StreamAssist needs its APP_ID, and the caller needs `discoveryengine.assistants.assist`\n2. Send `X-Goog-User-Project` with your project ID when calling with Application Default Credentials\n3. Pass the `session` name from the final stream message on the next call to keep context. Leaving it empty starts a new session\n4. Read `connectorAuthErrors` in the response. A connector that failed sign-in is skipped and the answer comes from the rest\n5. Use the A2A URL returned by Agent Registry verbatim. It takes the project number, not the project ID\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cohere North or Gemini Enterprise?\n\nGemini Enterprise scores 68.1 (B) on agent readiness against Cohere North's 55.1 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
