## Platform Capabilities

### 🤖 AI Agents

Build and deploy intelligent agents that engage your customers across every channel — all from a single platform.

* **Web** — embed chat widgets directly on your website
* **Email** — automate inbound and outbound email conversations
* **SMS** — reach customers on mobile with AI-driven text messaging
* **Voice** — deploy phone agents that speak and listen naturally

Agents can be connected to your Knowledge Base, given custom instructions, and integrated with external tools to handle complex, multi-step conversations on your behalf.

### 💬 OpenAI-Compatible Chat Completions

Parallel AI exposes an OpenAI-compatible `/chat/completions` endpoint, so you can drop Parallel AI into any existing integration that supports the OpenAI SDK — just swap the base URL. Run completions against leading models without changing your code.

### 📋 Smart Lists

Manage your contacts with Smart Lists — a powerful contact management system that lets you segment, filter, and target the right people at the right time. Import contacts, apply tags, and build dynamic audiences that automatically update as your data changes.

### 📨 Sequences

Automate your outreach with multi-step Sequences across email and SMS. Design drip campaigns, follow-up flows, and nurture journeys that run automatically based on triggers, schedules, or contact behavior — all without manual effort.

### 📚 Knowledge Base Documents

Give your agents and workflows access to your own content. Upload documents, FAQs, product guides, and more to the Knowledge Base. Agents use this information to answer questions accurately and consistently, grounded in your source material.

### 🎬 Media Generation

Generate rich media assets on demand:

* **Text-to-Speech** — powered by ElevenLabs, convert any text into natural-sounding audio with a wide selection of voices
* **Images** — generate custom images from text prompts for marketing, content creation, and more
* **Video** — create AI-generated video content to power your campaigns and communications

### 🌐 Browser Automation

Automate complex web-based tasks with AI-driven browser sessions. Parallel AI supports:

* **Residential sessions** — browse the web with real residential IP addresses for accurate, unblocked results
* **Authenticated sessions** — interact with logged-in web applications as if you were at your keyboard

Hand off repetitive browser workflows to AI and get back structured results, screenshots, or extracted data.

### 🔌 MCP Server Integration

Connect Parallel AI to your favorite AI-powered development tools via the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. Native integrations are available for:

* **Claude Desktop** — surface Parallel AI capabilities directly inside Claude
* **Cursor** — bring your agents, lists, and sequences into your coding environment
* **Windsurf** — extend your AI-assisted workflows with live Parallel AI data
