Parallel provides web research infrastructure for AI agents.

Palabra AI is a real-time speech translation engine.
The desktop app (Mac and Windows) overlays live translation across Google Meet, Zoom, Discord, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, supporting 30+ languages so participants can speak natively while hearing their preferred language. The roadmap includes native translation on content platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, and Vimeo.

Amount: $17M 🎉
Round: Series A
Lead Investor: Andreessen Horowitz
Sola offers AI agents for non-technical users to automate back-office workflows.
Users record a process once via a browser extension, and Sola converts this into a live, context-aware automation agent that adapts to UI changes and input variance. These agents are visualized in a canvas-like flowchart editor, where operators can add conditions and edge cases without writing code.
