i've joined @p0 as head of design.
the next decade of software is being written for machines to read. the web wasn't built for that. Parallel is rethinking the web's most foundational primitive, search, for its second user.
we're growing the team. hiring our first product designer, brand designer, and design eng to define what this looks like. think the elegance of a well-formed schema, the lineage of the early web.
if that's you, DM me your best work.
We're thrilled to officially welcome @yangyou to Parallel as Head of Design.
Yang joins us from Paradigm, where she worked alongside early-stage founders to ship 0-to-1 products and led the firm's rebrand.

This project was the result of deep obsession by a very talented team. And executed under extreme time constraint.
Across all disciplines, that is how we operate at @p0
.@reathchris worked his magic from week 1 here on art direction to get these dialed in to what you're seeing today. lucky to collaborate with him 🐐🖤

working on our Very First OOH campaign helped us articulate what Parallel stands for. we kept returning to evidence, provenance, and how that respect for sources should show up in the work.
@yangyou shares more of our process and thinking here →
we used Parallel to build Parallel’s first brand campaign.
here's a look at the research, connections, and creative decisions behind the artwork.
last week, we launched the first batch of our @p0 brand campaign in NYC
every ad is a collage assembled with citations, representing a real research report built on Parallel's APIs
more to come on how we built this. in the meantime, share with us if you encounter it in the wild!

search and browsing are better together
most agents need to both read + write to the web, esp with the rise of personal agents
starting today @p0 is the default search provider for
@browserbase, powering their Search API and Agents
Browserbase Search is now powered by Parallel (@p0) as the default search provider.
Parallel Fast returns sub-second results when speed matters. Parallel Advanced goes deeper for multi-step research when quality matters most.
working with @reathchris is like working with 50 little guys in the inside out brain
and every single one of them is cooking

had to pay tribute to carbonless copy forms, a feat of chemical engineering that killed messy carbon paper overnight and recorded decades of analog evidence
was fun to dial in the details on this one

a new world wide web for AIs
the clarity in vision and thesis of @paraga from day 1 is impressive - nothing about this has changed from the inside
Over 3 years ago @paraga met with our team for an hour and made the case that AIs would become the largest consumers of the internet, and that the web would need to be rebuilt for them. At the time, "agents" didn't really exist as a category. GPT-4 had just been released. He called it almost perfectly. This was part of his deck.
