Discord Roles

This is the default role.  Members participate in conversations on Discord and attend events. 

• The most active members become regulars!

• All members are welcome to propose new initiatives within the community.  Applicants who are successful in this become Organizers!

• To gain this badge on your Discord profile, be sure to verify your account! Check out the #welcome-and-rules channel for more information.

Our most frequent contributes are rewarded with the role of “Regular” to recognise their involvement in the community.  

Leads are community members who have volunteered to coordinate and run programs for their fellow community members. They receive support in this from Cohere Labs staff.

As a lead of an ongoing community program you will be…

• Given a special badge with additional permissions in the Discord group.

• Invited to join the monthly Cohere Labs leads meeting to discuss any concerns or improvements we can make to provide a better platform for the community.

• Special quarterly social to recognize efforts of community leads.

• We have a community funds program to support any costs that may arise from your program.

• Add and create events in the Discord channel to advertise programming, and also send calendar invites to our google group.

• Receive support coordinating the logistics, promoting activities, and running events from Cohere Labs staff.

Leads of one-off Cohere Labs Specials will…

• Receive event support from Cohere Labs staff.

• Be able to host an event through either our Google Meet or Zoom Events and take advantage of professional features (Eg. breakout rooms, polls, unlimited time).

• Get help promoting your event.

• Be sent a Cohere Labs swag package as a token of our appreciation for your initiative!

What we ask in return

• Present and organize the community program

• Commit to at least three months of programming (for ongoing events)

• You are welcome to renew your commitment after 3 months, or you can pass it to other active members of the group at the end of every quarter.

We have an ongoing commitment to support you, Cohere Labs community members, as you pursue and achieve your research dreams. As part of this, we invite you all to publish with the affiliation “Cohere Labs Community”. 

We have a new Cohere Labs role and mascot to celebrate those who achieve publication solely with our affiliation: Cohere Labs Community Researcher. This is to recognize that publishing is always an achievement, but it is all the more significant when accomplished without the backing of a formal lab or institution. Our most sincere congratulations to those who unlock this honour!

The Team role type is used to indicate Cohere Labs staff, and key stakeholders.
