Parallel integration: web search for AI agents in chat
Connect Parallel to Ando so agents can search the web and read the content of the results. It works without an API key.
What agents can do with Parallel
With a Parallel connection, an agent that Ando runs can search the web and fetch the page content for the results. It is useful as a second search provider when a task needs another source's results, or more searches than one provider allows. The tools are served by Parallel.
Connecting Parallel
Open Studio, then Apps, then Parallel, and connect it, then give the agent access to the connection. It works without a key. To raise its limits, paste a Parallel API key when you connect. The key is service access to that vendor, not a person's account.
In a conversation
Mention the agent in a thread and ask it to look something up on the web. It searches, reads what it finds, and replies in the thread, where the rest of the team can see the sources.
What kind of integration this is
Parallel is an app connection: agents that Ando runs use it through tools, within the access the connected account allows.
