Parallel's' new natural language query tool transforms web data into structured datasets for enterprise users.

Key Takeaways

  • Natural language querying. Users create custom datasets from web data with simple queries.
  • Advanced entity matching. FindAll identifies, validates and enriches entities across complex criteria.
  • Enterprise-grade accuracy. Data teams and analysts gain higher recall and fresher data versus static datasets.

Parallel Web Systems announced the launch of FindAll API. The new offering, part of the company's Web Agent API suite, allows users to create custom databases from web data using natural language queries. According to the company, the tool is designed to replace static datasets with on-demand, personalized information.

The FindAll API is available immediately through the Parallel Developer Platform. The company offers two versions: FindAll Pro with 61% recall and FindAll Base with 30% recall, which Parallel claims is the most cost-effective option on the market.

Why the Timing Matters

AI search tools threaten traditional web traffic models while creating demand for structured data solutions.

The implicit agreement between publishers and search engines is breaking down as AI tools synthesize content directly. One major history website, for example, saw traffic plummet 25% after appearing in Google's AI Overviews. And of the traffic making it to sites, experts say much of it is AI scraper bots, not human browsers. One software company reported that 1 in 50 visitors to their website is AI — up 4x compared to the beginning of the year. 

In this new search landscape, organizations increasingly leverage unstructured data for insights. But this move if not without security concerns. Industry experts note that AI-generated development often outpaces security oversight, creating compliance risks, particularly in regulated industries.

Parallel's FindAll API enters this environment with a focus on converting natural language queries into structured datasets from web data. The company positions its offering as a solution for Fortune 500 companies and AI-first businesses seeking to replace static datasets with custom, up-to-date information.

FindAll’s Ideal Users & Use Cases 

  • Data teams seeking custom datasets from web sources. FindAll offers a more efficient alternative to static data dumps and patchwork scraping tools.
  • Sales and business development professionals researching prospects. Go-to-market teams can use FindAll to identify and qualify leads at scale, using complex search criteria without writing code.
  • Investment analysts researching acquisition targets and market trends. Analysts can use FindAll to discover and monitor early-stage companies, track competitive activity or validate theses about shifting market dynamics.
