Overview

Parallel provides powerful web browsing and data enrichment capabilities for your agents. Perfect for:
  • Web research — ask questions and get answers from web content
  • Data enrichment — automatically enhance your data with web information
  • Entity research — gather detailed information about companies, people, or topics

​
Chat with Web Action

  • What it does: Ask questions and get answers by browsing and analyzing web content in real-time.
Chat with Web action configuration

​
Inputs

  • Question: The query or question you want answered
  • Processor: Choose the model strength for your research needs

​
Outputs

  • Response: The response based on web research

​
Web Enrichment Action

  • What it does: Enriches your data by automatically gathering additional information about entities from the web.

​
Inputs

  • Entity: The thing you want to enrich (company name, person, topic, etc.)
  • Enrichment Columns: Choose automatic enrichment or specify custom columns
  • Processor: Choose the model strength for processing

​
Example Enrichment Columns

​
Outputs

  • Enriched Data: Enhanced information about your entity

​
Processor Selection

Both actions use the same processor options:
Core processor provides good balance of speed and detail for most research tasks.

​
Best Practices

  • Be specific about what information you need
  • Include context when asking about entities
  • Use clear, direct questions for better results
  • Specify timeframes when relevant
  • Start with automatic enrichment to see available data
  • Use specific columns when you know what you need
  • Choose appropriate processor based on entity complexity
  • Test with sample entities before processing large datasets
  • When looping, set concurrency limits to prevent hitting rate limits
  • Reduce parallel requests when processing large datasets
  • Monitor for timeout errors and adjust concurrency accordingly
