Use Cases

Research automation in real conversations

See how businesses leverage Parallel's Task API through their AI agent to deliver web intelligence during live customer interactions.

Prospect Discovery Without Manual Digging

A sales manager messages your AI agent: 'Find SaaS companies in healthcare with 50-200 employees.' The agent launches a FindAll run through Parallel with those match conditions, retrieves a structured list of qualifying companies with key data points, and presents results directly in chat. The manager gets a curated prospect list in minutes instead of hours of manual LinkedIn searching.

Competitive Intelligence on Demand

A product lead asks 'What are the top alternatives to Notion for project management?' Your AI agent runs parallel semantic searches across the web, aggregates product comparisons, feature lists, and pricing data, then delivers a structured competitive overview. The team gets actionable market intelligence without commissioning a research report.

Real-Time Market Research for Client Calls

Before a client meeting, a consultant asks the agent to research a specific industry vertical. The agent creates a task group in Parallel covering market size, key players, and recent trends. Results stream back as they complete. The consultant walks into the meeting with fresh, verified data instead of stale reports.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of entities can the AI agent discover through Parallel's FindAll API?

FindAll supports discovering companies and people based on natural-language objectives and custom match conditions. You can define criteria like industry, employee count, location, funding stage, or any attribute expressible in natural language. The API returns structured profiles with matched and unmatched candidates up to 1,000 results per run.

How does Parallel's semantic search differ from a regular web search inside the agent?

Parallel's Search API runs multiple queries simultaneously and returns semantically ranked documents rather than keyword-matched links. Your agent can batch several related queries into one call, getting top-matching results across all of them. This means richer, more relevant answers synthesized from multiple data sources in a single response.

Does the agent wait for long-running research tasks to complete before responding?

No. For complex FindAll runs, the agent submits the job and uses Parallel's status endpoint to poll progress. It can inform the customer that research is underway, provide intermediate updates, and deliver final results when ready. Task groups also stream events so the agent can relay completions incrementally.

What authentication does Tars need to connect to Parallel?

Tars requires your Parallel API key, which you can generate from your Parallel dashboard. Enter it once in the Tars Tools section. The key is stored securely and never exposed to end users. You can rotate or revoke it anytime from the Parallel console.

Can I control the quality and cost of research runs?

Yes. Parallel's FindAll API accepts a generator parameter that sets the quality and cost tier for each run. You can configure your agent to use different tiers based on the request type, balancing depth of research against credit consumption for routine versus high-stakes queries.

Does Tars store the web research data returned by Parallel?

Tars does not maintain a separate database of Parallel results. Research data is fetched live during conversations and used to formulate responses. Conversation logs may contain the summarized output, but raw Parallel payloads are not persisted beyond the session unless you configure an export.

How is using Parallel through Tars different from running Parallel's API directly?

Using Parallel through Tars means your team interacts with research capabilities conversationally instead of writing API calls. The AI agent translates natural questions into properly formatted FindAll objectives, search queries, and task groups. Non-technical team members get the same structured intelligence without touching code or dashboards.

Can the agent combine Parallel research with data from other connected tools?

Absolutely. Your agent can run a Parallel FindAll to discover target companies, then cross-reference results with your CRM data from HubSpot or Salesforce, enrich contacts through other integrations, and present a unified view. Tars orchestrates multiple tool calls within a single conversation flow.

“Powerful tool - and there's so much more still to explore!”
I love the flexibility of the TARS chatbot design tool. The ability to drop in a new gambit and easily de-link and re-link gambits before and after it saves HOURS of time lost if I had to regenerate from scratch. TARS stands out for its flexibility, consistent performance, and outstanding support.

“Best in class for lead generation”
TARS is an essential tool within our lead gen strategy. I started to use it a couple years ago, and the platform evolved to focus on results. You can integrate your Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and AdWords conversion tag to track results and measure your campaign. You can also integrate with Zapier, which opens a lot of possibilities. Compared with static landing pages, we have seen an increase in conversions and more engagement.

If you are building chatbots, you cannot go wrong with TARS. I have been with this company since their beginning. Seen how they have grown.
