head of design @p0 • previously @paradigm

San Francisco
Joined October 2018
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.
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.

I liked these ads already just as pure compositions. I like them even more having read the thinking / seen the process behind them. Great work.
we used Parallel to build Parallel’s first brand campaign. here's a look at the research, connections, and creative decisions behind the artwork.

This project was the result of deep obsession by a very talented team. And executed under extreme time constraint. Across all disciplines, that is how we operate at @p0

working on our Very First OOH campaign helped us articulate what Parallel stands for. we kept returning to evidence, provenance, and how that respect for sources should show up in the work. @yangyou shares more of our process and thinking here →

last week, we launched the first batch of our @p0 brand campaign in NYC every ad is a collage assembled with citations, representing a real research report built on Parallel's APIs more to come on how we built this. in the meantime, share with us if you encounter it in the wild!

personal agents guess our intents so well that are we quietly losing the ability to express them precisely

search and browsing are better together most agents need to both read + write to the web, esp with the rise of personal agents starting today @p0 is the default search provider for @browserbase, powering their Search API and Agents
Browserbase Search is now powered by Parallel (@p0) as the default search provider. Parallel Fast returns sub-second results when speed matters. Parallel Advanced goes deeper for multi-step research when quality matters most.

had to pay tribute to carbonless copy forms, a feat of chemical engineering that killed messy carbon paper overnight and recorded decades of analog evidence was fun to dial in the details on this one > the tear angle, motion, and shadows > canary yellow, pink, and blue sheets > the pressure-transferred ink > date stamps on submission
name a better contact form, I'll wait contact.parallel.ai
