*The Cohere configuration screen in PipesHub where you'll enter your API Key and Model Name*

PipesHub allows you to integrate with Cohere's language models to enable AI features in your workspace. Cohere models are designed for enterprise use, excelling at retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), summarisation, and command-following tasks.

## Required Fields

### API Key \*

The API Key is required to authenticate your requests to Cohere's services.

**How to obtain an API Key:**

1. Log in to the [Cohere Dashboard](https://dashboard.cohere.com/)
2. Navigate to the "API Keys" section
3. Click "New API key" or use an existing key
4. Copy the generated API key

**Security Note:** Your API key should be kept secure and never shared publicly. PipesHub securely stores your API key and uses it only for authenticating requests to Cohere.

### Model Name \*

The Model Name field defines which Cohere model you want to use with PipesHub.

**Popular Cohere models include:**

* `command-a-03-2025` - Cohere's most capable command model for complex instruction-following tasks

**How to choose a model:**

* For complex instruction-following and RAG tasks, select `command-a-03-2025`
* Check Cohere's [model documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models) for the most up-to-date options

## Configuration Steps

As shown in the image above:

1. Click **Configure** on the Cohere provider card
2. Enter your Cohere API Key in the designated field (marked with \*)
3. Specify your desired Model Name (marked with \*)
4. Click **Add Model** to save and validate your credentials

> Both the API Key and Model Name are required fields to successfully configure Cohere integration.

## Usage Considerations

* API usage will count against your Cohere account's quota and billing
* Different models have different pricing — check Cohere's pricing page for details
* Cohere models excel at:
  * Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  * Document summarisation and analysis
  * Enterprise command-following tasks
  * Grounded generation with citations

## Troubleshooting

* If you encounter authentication errors, verify your API key is correct and has not expired
* Ensure your Cohere account has billing set up if you are using paid service tiers
* Check that the model name is spelled correctly and matches Cohere's naming conventions
* Verify that your API key has access to the specific model you have selected
