# Build smarter assistants for your users

Your product is only as smart as what it knows. Add cited answers, instant background on any company or person, in-product deep research, and feeds that stay current. Accurate enough to trust, fast enough to feel native.

Use Cases

## The web layer for category-leading agents

Answer, contextualize, research, and stay current

### Answer questions with fresh, cited facts

Pair Search and Extract to give your product current, grounded answers with clean, quotable source text, instead of stale training data. Sub-2-second latency, fast enough to run in the request path.

### Add real-world context to any entity

Enrich the people, companies, places, and topics your product touches, in a query, a doc, or a meeting, so it responds with the right background, automatically.

### Ship an in-product research feature

Offer a research capability backed by a web subagent. Give it an objective, get back a structured, cited report, with compute you can dial per task.

Customer Story

## Notion AI answers from the live web

Notion uses Parallel to bring fresh, fact-checked answers with clean, quotable sources into the workspace, so users get current information without leaving their docs.

> “The best agentic search isn’t just the fastest or the cheapest. It’s net new information that language models don’t already know. Parallel delivers that.”

Sarah Sacks, AI Lead, Notion

Customer Story

## Poke knows before its users ask

Poke, the AI companion from Interaction, runs a Parallel monitor on whatever each user cares about and starts the conversation the moment something happens.

> “Parallel’s Monitor API gives Poke the power to keep track of anything that interests our users. Things like their favorite sports team, stuff to do in their neighborhood, or news that matters to them. It helps make Poke more proactive in their daily lives, which ultimately makes for a better companion.”

Marvin Von Hagen, CEO, Interaction
