Parallel's Web Search and tools are live on Vercel

You can now use Parallel's LLM-optimized web search and other tools all across Vercel.

Unlike provider-specific web search tools that only work with certain models, Parallel's web search tool works universally across all providers. This means you can add web search capabilities to any model without changing your implementation.

To use through AI SDK, set parallel_search: gateway.tools.parallelSearch() in tools.

1
import { gateway, streamText } from 'ai';
2
const result = streamText({
3
  model: 'moonshotai/kimi-k2.5', // Works with any model
4
  prompt: 'What are the best new restaurants in San Francisco?',
5
  tools: {
6
    parallel_search: gateway.tools.parallelSearch(),
7
  },
8
});

Parallel web search extracts relevant excerpts from web pages, making it ideal for agentic tasks and real-time information retrieval. For more control, you can also configure the tool to use specific parameters.

1
import { gateway, streamText } from 'ai';
2
const result = streamText({
3
  model: 'moonshotai/kimi-k2.5',
4
  prompt: 'What new AI model releases have been announced this month?',
5
  tools: {
6
    parallel_search: gateway.tools.parallelSearch({
7
      mode: 'one-shot',
8
      maxResults: 10,
9
      sourcePolicy: {
10
        includeDomains: [
11
          'openai.com',
12
          'anthropic.com',
13
          'deepseek.com',
14
          'moonshot.ai',
15
          'deepmind.google',
16
        ],
17
        afterDate: '2026-01-01',
18
      },
19
    }),
20
  },
21
});

For agentic workflows, use mode: 'agentic' to get concise, token-efficient search results that work well in multi-step reasoning.

Time-sensitive queries can control cache freshness with maxAgeSeconds, while domain-specific search lets you restrict results to trusted sources or exclude noisy domains.

Parallel web search requests are charged at exactly the same rate as the Parallel API. $5 per 1,000 requests (includes up to 10 results per request) and additional results beyond 10 charged at $1 per 1,000 additional results. Read the docs for more information and details on how to use the tool.
