Overview
Cotera is an AI agent platform for enterprise work: users describe what they want done in plain English, then Cotera runs agents that use hand-built integrations to research, act, and write back to the systems a team already uses. Public sources conflict on the founding year (2021–2023), but the company is currently presented as headquartered in New York City and serves customers such as Bilt, OpenSea, Coterie, Peloton, Skims, Omni, and Shippo.
