Parallel CLI

Terminal tool giving AI agents web search, extraction, and research capabilities

From the Xiry library · Updated 10 October 2026

Visit parallel.ai ↗

Parallel CLI is an open-source command-line interface that allows terminal-based AI agents to interact directly with the web. It provides commands to search the web using natural language, extract clean markdown from URLs, run multi-source deep research, and enrich structured datasets. Every command is non-interactive and supports JSON output, making it easy to integrate into automated agent pipelines.

What it's for

  • Run natural language web searches from terminal AI agents
  • Extract clean markdown and text content from complex or JavaScript-rendered URLs
  • Conduct asynchronous deep research runs across multiple web sources
  • Enrich CSV or JSON files with web research data

Features

  • Natural language semantic search returning token-efficient excerpts
  • URL extraction handling JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHAs, and PDFs
  • Asynchronous deep research with citations and confidence scores
  • Dataset enrichment from CSV or JSON files with row-based pricing
  • --json flag across all commands for agent-ready structured output
  • --no-wait flag for non-blocking async execution and status polling
  • Companion pre-built agent skill definitions for LLM tool use

Pricing

Freemium. Free $5 in monthly credits, with usage-based API pricing thereafter
