parallel-web-extract
URL Extraction
Extract content from: $ARGUMENTS
Command
Choose a short, descriptive filename based on the URL or content (e.g., vespa-docs, react-hooks-api). Use lowercase with hyphens, no spaces.
parallel-cli extract "$ARGUMENTS" --json -o "/tmp/$FILENAME.md"
Options if needed:
--objective "focus area"to focus on specific content
Response format
Return content as:
Then the extracted content verbatim, with these rules:
- Keep content verbatim - do not paraphrase or summarize
- Parse lists exhaustively - extract EVERY numbered/bulleted item
- Strip only obvious noise: nav menus, footers, ads
- Preserve all facts, names, numbers, dates, quotes
After the response, mention the output file path (/tmp/$FILENAME.md) so the user knows it's available for follow-up questions.
Setup
If parallel-cli is not found, install and authenticate:
curl -fsSL https://parallel.ai/install.sh | bash
If unable to install that way, install via pipx instead:
pipx install "parallel-web-tools[cli]"
pipx ensurepath
Then authenticate:
parallel-cli login
Or set an API key: export PARALLEL_API_KEY="your-key"

parallel-web-search
DEFAULT for all research and web queries. Use for any lookup, research, investigation, or question needing current info. Fast and cost-effective. Only use parallel-deep-research if user explicitly requests 'deep' or 'exhaustive' research.
17parallel-deep-research
ONLY use when user explicitly says 'deep research', 'exhaustive', 'comprehensive report', or 'thorough investigation'. Slower and more expensive than parallel-web-search. For normal research/lookup requests, use parallel-web-search instead. Supports multi-turn: pass --previous-interaction-id from a prior research or enrichment to continue with context.
14parallel-data-enrichment
Bulk data enrichment. Adds web-sourced fields (CEO names, funding, contact info) to lists of companies, people, or products. Use for enriching CSV files or inline data. Supports multi-turn: pass --previous-interaction-id from a prior research or enrichment to carry context forward.
