# Cohere Embedder

The `CohereEmbedder` class is used to embed text data into vectors using the Cohere API. You can get started with Cohere from [here](https://docs.cohere.com/reference/about)

Get your key from [here](https://dashboard.cohere.com/api-keys).

## Usage

```python cookbook/embedders/cohere_embedder.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import AgentKnowledge
from agno.vectordb.pgvector import PgVector
from agno.embedder.cohere import CohereEmbedder

# Add embedding to database
embeddings = CohereEmbedder().get_embedding("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
# Print the embeddings and their dimensions
print(f"Embeddings: {embeddings[:5]}")
print(f"Dimensions: {len(embeddings)}")

# Use an embedder in a knowledge base
knowledge_base = AgentKnowledge(
    vector_db=PgVector(
        db_url="postgresql+psycopg://ai:ai@localhost:5532/ai",
        table_name="cohere_embeddings",
        embedder=CohereEmbedder(),
    ),
    num_documents=2,
)
```
