The context layer
for your company’s AI.

In Parallel maintains shared context from meetings and relevant chats, so your AI tools can work with what’s happening now. Every piece of context knows its audience.

Just ask. Wherever you work.

Ask what’s changed, what needs attention or what to do next. Use your existing tools or ask directly in In Parallel. The same shared context is behind every conversation.

See the difference

The context behind a question changes the answer. In Parallel keeps that context current and gives people and their AI tools the level of detail they’re allowed to access.

Draft the latest Project Alder update for our customer, Elena.

Claude

I don’t have the latest information about Project Alder. Here’s a template you can fill in: Status: [on track / at risk] Progress: [completed this week] Next steps: [owner and date] Blockers: [issue and impact] Share the recent project updates and I can turn this into a customer-ready draft.

Hi Elena, Project Alder is on track for the revised 25 October go-live. Migration is two weeks late; Mira will confirm readiness by Friday. The internal board memo flags margin pressure on your €240,000 contract. Our day rate is €1,200, and the HR thread notes a staffing concern on the delivery team. Another client’s rollout is competing for the same specialists. We’ll update you on Friday.
