Short answer

How can I use my AI to label text?

You use the Cohere Connector to feed text through classification models that match your data against a set of labels you define. This turns unstructured text into structured categories for your downstream work.

Where every piece of text lands.

Categorization outcomes

The AI sorts your input into these specific buckets.

MATCHED

Correct label assigned

The AI identifies which predefined category fits the text. You get a clean label to use in your database or spreadsheet.

UNCERTAIN

Low confidence scores

When the text doesn't clearly fit your labels, the AI flags it. You'll see which items need a human eye to decide.

MULTIPLE

Overlapping categories

If a piece of text fits two labels, the AI identifies both. This helps you catch nuanced data that isn't just one thing.

REJECTED

Out of bounds

Text that doesn't match any of your provided labels is set aside. This keeps your categorized data pure and accurate.

The workflow

What your AI does when text arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading and comparing text against your rules.

  1. Define the schema

    You tell your agent which specific labels it should look for in the text.

  2. Analyze the input

  3. Assign the label

    The AI selects the label with the highest confidence score.

FAQ

How classification works

  • 01

    Can the AI create new labels on its own?

    No. The AI only assigns the specific labels you provide in your prompt.

  • 02

    Does the AI change my original files?

    No. The AI only reads your data and provides the labels in the chat interface.

  • 03

    What happens if the text is too long?

    The AI processes the text based on the context window of your client, but it will flag if it cannot find a clear match.

  • 04

    Can I use this for sentiment analysis?

    Yes, as long as you provide 'Positive', 'Negative', or 'Neutral' as your target labels.

  • 05

    Will the AI delete any of my data?

    No. This MCP only has permission to read and process text through the chat_completion tool.
