Artificial intelligence startup Cohere Inc. reached a deal to integrate its AI models into services provided by BCE Inc., Canada’s largest telecommunications firm by revenue.

The partnership will see Cohere make its “enterprise-grade” AI available to businesses and governments through BCE’s Bell Canada unit. Bell’s enterprise customers will be able to create AI agents and automate tasks without having to manage their own AI infrastructure, the companies said Monday in a joint statement.
