What it does
Parallel provides web intelligence APIs purpose-built for AIs: high-accuracy search with verifiable excerpts, structured deep research tasks, monitoring with webhooks, and OpenAI-compatible chat for research apps. It targets agent workflows that need grounded facts, citations, and predictable per-query pricing rather than raw SERP HTML.
