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.
Parallel Web Systems@p0

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.

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.
Parallel Web Systems@p0

Today we're launching Index: a platform for content owners to understand how AI agents use their work, and earn revenue when they do. Our first partners include @TheAtlantic, @FortuneMagazine, @PRNewswire, @PitchBook, @ZoomInfo, @Tracxn, @RocketReachCo, @enigma_data, @fiscal_ai, plus creators @alexeheath, @mariogabriele @azeem, @every, and @packyM.

Last week was my final week at Perplexity. After nearly four years of full‑speed, labor‑of‑love work, I felt ready to pass the baton. I’m excited to share that @scspeier will lead the design team going forward. There are many things I’m proud of, but most of all I’m proud of the design culture at Perplexity. It fosters boldness, creativity, trust, and, most importantly, real impact. Everyone on the team lives our brand’s values, embodying curiosity and a love of learning. I have no doubt this culture will not only endure but continue to grow as the company evolves under Sebastian’s stewardship. ····

for the first time, content owners are able to see exactly how AI is using their content based on live-time Parallel traffic, and how others compare check your domain at index[dot]parallel[dot]ai
Parallel Web Systems@p0

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.
