Parallelin Claude & ChatGPT
Natural-language entity discovery · $0.005 / search
Parallel is a discovery engine built for AI agents: it takes a plain-language objective and returns a ranked longlist of matching people or companies from the public web. No filter panels, no Boolean — the objective is understood semantically.
At a flat $0.005 per search for up to 100 results it is nearly free, so the assistant can afford to search wide first and spend on enrichment only for the entries that survive your review.
What your assistant can do with Parallel
- Describe who you're looking for in one sentence and get a ranked list of up to 100 people or companies
- Run wide discovery passes for pennies before spending on enrichment
- Find entities keyword filters miss — the objective is understood, not string-matched
- Feed results straight into contact enrichment for the ones worth pursuing

FAQ
What is Parallel?
Parallel (parallel.ai) is an entity-search API built for AI agents: give it a natural-language objective — 'growth-stage fintechs in the Nordics', 'engineering leaders who have written about developer productivity' — and it returns a ranked list of matching people or companies from the public web.
What does a Parallel search cost?
A flat $0.005 per search, returning up to 100 results — the cheapest discovery call in the mesh. That makes it the right tool for wide first passes: cast a broad net, then qualify and enrich only what survives review.
Does Parallel return contact details?
No — results are names, URLs, and descriptions, deliberately optimised for recall over precision. The assistant pairs Parallel with Findymail, ContactOut, or Lusha to reveal verified contacts for the entries you shortlist.
