# In Parallel > The coordination layer for enterprise execution. In Parallel listens where work happens, keeps your plans and documents up to date automatically, and gives every AI tool in your stack the shared context to do real work -- the first step towards true multiplayer AI. Run the org on real data, not curated decks. Website: https://www.in-parallel.com Contact: hello@in-parallel.com --- ## Product Overview In Parallel is the coordination layer for enterprise execution. It starts with a free AI note-taker that extracts 9 structured signal types from every meeting -- decisions, action items, risks, dependencies, escalations, opportunities, learnings, progress updates, and obstacles. These signals flow into workspaces (governed context boundaries) and power every AI tool in your stack via MCP -- the shared context that lets Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, and your own agents do real work on your organisation's real data. Plans and documents stay up to date automatically as the work moves, so coordination stops being a manual tax. This is the first step towards true multiplayer AI. Four product layers, each building on the last: ### Layer 1: In Parallel Notes (Free up to 10 meetings/user/month) The capture layer. Joins Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet silently. Full transcription with speaker attribution in 50+ languages. Extracts 9 signal types -- not just summaries, but structured, queryable intelligence. Free up to 10 meetings/user/month, unlimited workspaces, no credit card. ### Layer 2: In Parallel MCP (Included with paid) The AI integration layer. Via MCP (Model Context Protocol), Claude, Copilot, and ChatGPT draw from your structured meeting context. One prompt writes a board pack. Another maps dependencies. Your AI finally knows your business. Workspaces provide governed context boundaries -- AI only sees what it should see. ### Layer 3: In Parallel Plans (From EUR39 / user / month) Self-updating execution plans that rewrite after every meeting. Real-time priority recalculation. Drift detection. Cross-meeting dependency tracking. Integrates bi-directionally with Jira, Linear, Asana, HubSpot, CRM, and OKR tools. Pricing: EUR39-59 / user / month. Volume discounts kick in at 500 paid users (up to 45% at 10,000). Duration discounts apply for annual and multi-year. Passive users not invoiced. ### Layer 4: In Parallel Diagnostics (From EUR25K first run) 10 diagnostic lenses score your organisation 0-100 across strategy alignment, decision velocity, coordination load, and more. Domains: Strategy, Execution, People, Risk. Professional services engagement model. - First run: EUR25,000 (one-off, full 10-lens analysis, board-ready deliverable) - Recurring: EUR15,000 / quarter (continuous diagnosis, trend analysis, drift alerts) - Portfolio engagement: custom (cross-entity benchmarking, dedicated success team) --- ## How It Works Three steps. Zero manual work. **1. Capture** -- In Parallel joins your meetings silently. Full transcription with speaker attribution in 50+ languages. No plugins, no behaviour change. **2. Extract** -- AI extracts 9 signal types from the conversation: decisions, action items, risks, dependencies, escalations, opportunities, learnings, progress updates, and obstacles. Not summaries -- structured, queryable intelligence. **3. Connect** -- Signals flow into workspaces -- shared context spaces for teams and projects. Every AI tool in your stack draws from this context via MCP. Ask Claude anything about your business. It knows. --- ## The Coordination Tax In Parallel is built on a fundamental insight: 95% of decisions made in meetings never reach execution systems. The coordination tax -- the invisible work of chasing updates, reconciling versions, and re-explaining decisions -- costs organisations 400+ hours per year per team. Key statistics: - 46% of management time is spent coordinating (not executing) - 95% of decisions never reach execution systems - 38-point gap between strategy and execution (EU AI adoption: 17% SMB vs 55% enterprise) - 10x AI value when it has organisational context The fix isn't another project management tool. It's a coordination layer that sits underneath existing tools and meetings, keeps the shared picture of reality current automatically, and compounds with every meeting. --- ## Integrations In Parallel works with whatever your teams are already using: - Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, SharePoint, PowerBI, Outlook, Project - Google Workspace, Calendar, Meet - Slack - Linear, Atlassian Jira, Asana - HubSpot, Salesforce - MCP: Claude (Desktop, Code, Enterprise), GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf - ChatGPT and Gemini via API integration --- ## Pricing Priced per user, not per workspace. ### Free -- EUR0 Notes free up to 10 meetings/user/month.
