Hex agent now runs on Parallel web search
your warehouse knows what happened inside the company. the web knows everything else. now one agent has both.
intelligence private data public data - in a clean interface that anyone can use

we're bringing the context of the world wide web to your data. ask anything, get answers in @_hex_tech
web search for the hex agent is live powered by @p0
was so fun to work with @travers00 & the parallel team on this!

Awesome collaborating with the Parallel (@p0) team to offer better web search for free out of the box in Centaur, our open source AI agent for Slack!
In addition to free web search, Centaur can also use Parallel for deep research in Slack!
Try it out: centaur.run
Jun 2
Web search and extract (fetch) in Centaur is now free by default, powered by Parallel in collaboration with @paradigm. No API key or account needed.
Try it with your agents @ centaur.run

"There’s a real historical lineage from the early open internet to where we are now... none of AI would exist without the [open web]."
Parallel’s culture is shaped by the history of the web: its ideals, aesthetics, openness, and human imperfections.
@travers00 and the @p0 team follow that history closely: both to learn from it, and to help create what’s on the horizon.

a few months ago we had a whacky idea: what if we built a physical museum of the human web?
the internet was a place many of us lived. i grew up pouring hours into every weird niche and the wayback machine
the web has a new user now. we wanted to celebrate the weird, whacky, and magical parts that got us here
open online today: museum.parallel.ai
open to the public in SF May 8-16

was a blast sitting down with @vanlancker and sharing a bit more about what we're up to at @p0
May 26
Following rapid growth, a $100M Series B, and a slate of new launches, I sat down with Parallel co-founder @travers00.
@p0 is building core search infrastructure for the agentic web: systems that enable AI to retrieve, structure, and reason over information across the internet with speed, accuracy, and reliability.
I joined Travers at Parallel’s new Palo Alto office for a wide-ranging conversation on:
> The pace going from launch last August to becoming critical infrastructure powering production workflows at companies like Notion, Harvey, Granola, and more.
> Why Parallel sees the future of search as far beyond “ten blue links,” toward systems built for retrieval, reasoning, monitoring, and computation.
> The changing nature of the web itself: its economics, openness, and what happens as agents become primary users.
> The artistry and legacy of internet history shaping the company: Olivetti typewriters, Douglas Hofstadler, Lloyd Shapley, Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Google’s Search Box, and how it inspired programs like the Museum of the Human Web.
This is an extensive and wide ranging look into one of the most interesting sectors of the agentic web. We @terraincap feel lucky to have worked with Travers and the team since the start just two years ago. So much to do.

Cool release from @p0. I think this use-case (agents paying content creators for access via @mpp) will be very big. Micropayment walls haven't worked (as Clay Shirky anticipated many years ago) because of human cognitive overhead, but agents can make arbitrarily granular determinations without decision fatigue.

I’ve been in the internet business for three decades. In that time, I’ve watched the web get built, break and rebuild itself around getting humans to pay attention. Ads, subscriptions, affiliate links — the whole economic infrastructure of the web was designed to capture and monetize human eyeballs.
Agents don’t have attention spans, they execute tasks. When an agent reads an article, the ad doesn’t load or the subscription prompt never appears. The content gets used but the creator gets nothing.
When @paraga pitched us on Parallel Web Systems (@p0), the thesis was that agents would use the web far more than humans ever would. The inevitable next question is who captures the value agents are creating.
Today, Parallel is launching Index: a way for site owners to see exactly how agents use their content, with a compensation model tied to actual usefulness of that content. Content that’s uniquely valuable or used in high-value agent work earns more.
Proud to back Parag and the whole Parallel team. Learn more about Index here:

We started @p0 based on the belief that AI agents will use the web 1000x more than humans, and we need new tech and business models as a result.
We are already seeing agents scale on our infrastructure, and this is the starting point for a new business model for the web.

Today @p0 launched Index, a platform for content owners (with a wonderful set of launch partners).
If you love the internet like I do, building a sustainable economic model that incentivizes and rewards quality content matters to an enormous degree. Especially in the agent era.

we started @p0 because we believed agents would be the primary users of the web, that they'd use it far more than humans, and that they'd need new infrastructure and new business models to support that
the first part is already playing out. today we're announcing the second

index is an open market for the agentic web. AI systems get access to the highest-quality information. content owners see how their work is used and earn compensation tied to the value they create, calculated using each source's shapley value at the moment of inference
x.com/p0/status/205675215927…
May 19
Compensation in Index is calculated by estimating each source's Shapley value: its marginal contribution to an agent's answer at the moment of inference.
Content that's uniquely valuable, hard to replace, or used in high-value agent work earns more.

the web is worth keeping open. with the right incentive design, the people who produce the best content get paid in proportion to the value they create
look up your domain at index.parallel.ai and join the index
