A parallel web, for AIs
About us
At Parallel Web Systems, we are bringing a new web to life: it’s built with, by, and for AIs. Our work spans innovations across crawling, indexing, ranking, retrieval, and reasoning systems. Our first product is a set of API for AIs to do more with web data.

Today, we’re announcing the launch of the Parallel Extract API, the newest addition to our Web Tools API bundle. When given a URL, Parallel Extract fetches all content from that page and returns it in markdown, either in full detail or in a compressed form for better token efficiency. Extract is built on the same proprietary web index and retrieval infrastructure that powers our Search, Task, FindAll, and Monitor APIs. This means reliable extraction from the most challenging sites— JavaScript-heavy pages, multi-page PDFs with images, and dynamic content that only loads client-side.

A word from the engineers behind our new FindAll API:
✨ Meet FindAll — your new superpower. We built FindAll at Parallel because there simply wasn’t a tool that let you surface a wide range of candidates and presents everything in a structured, comparable format so you can evaluate quickly and confidently. FindAll is built for anything—investments, hiring, upcoming trips, yoga retreats, local services, niche topics… anything! (except 🍌) I’ve been using it nonstop throughout the last few months, and it’s genuinely changed how I plan, research, and make decisions. If you want to see what I mean: 👉 platform.parallel.ai

Today, we're officially unveiling the FindAll API. Instead of buying static, stale datasets, FindAll lets you create fresh, custom datasets on demand with simple natural language queries like: "Find all F500 companies with a senior AI leader hired in the last 6 months" "Find all climate tech startups with active Fortune 500 pilot programs" "Find all S&P 500 companies citing tariffs as a key risk in their latest 10-K" For more information, read the announcement: https://lnkd.in/eJPNRgsH

A new user has arrived. But agents are only as good as their context. What if they could access the entire web? With higher accuracy, fewer round trips, and at a fraction of the token cost? Introducing the Parallel Search API 👇 Congrats to the entire team at Parallel Web Systems on today's launch!

The internet as we know it was built for humans. Individually-rendered pages, visual interfaces, content designed to be read, not reasoned over—it’s a system made and optimized for human eyes, not intelligence itself. But as Parag Agrawal told us nearly two years ago, the web’s next user isn’t human. AI agents are beginning to browse, research, and synthesize information at a scale and speed no human ever could. And yet, the infrastructure of the web hasn’t evolved to meet them. Since our initial investment in Parallel Web Systems in early 2024, that insight has only grown more prescient. AI systems are quickly becoming the primary consumers of the web. That means they need infrastructure that reflects how machines think, reason, and learn. Parag and his team are re-architecting the web for this new era, building systems that allow AIs to retrieve, reason over, and act on information at machine speed and scale. Their platform already powers deep web research and structured enrichment for some of the world’s most sophisticated AI builders and leading Fortune 100 companies. We’re thrilled to partner once again with Parag and the Parallel team, co-leading their $100M Series A as they build the web’s next chapter.

Today, we’re announcing the launch of the Parallel Monitor API, the newest addition to our Web Agents API suite. Parallel Monitor can be thought of as a web search that’s always on: you define a query that kicks off an ongoing stream of updates every time new related information appears on the web. Instead of actively making a search for information, Parallel Monitor is passively watching the web for changes to notify you about. It’s available now to try for free in the Parallel developer playground. Read our blog for more information: https://lnkd.in/eh8UxgM4
