What is ShapBot?

Parallel.ai operates automated web bots that crawl and retrieve web content for its AI-focused search and research platform. Its bots discover, index, and fetch publicly available webpages so AI agents can search the web, extract information, perform deep research, monitor changes, and generate up-to-date answers with source citations. Parallel’s indexing crawler, ShapBot, builds and refreshes its proprietary web index, while its retrieval systems may access pages in response to user or agent requests.
