Earlier quoted context omitted.

In agentic use cases, we save on end-to-end latency by spending more time and compute on individual searches. This happens because agents do fewer searches, use fewer tokens, and end up using fewer thinking tokens when using the Parallel Search API.

How would the product work if for example I just wanted to get basic information from various websites, such as "how many calories are in a McDonald's hamburger?" I'm creating a product that tracks calories via natural language and I'd want a structured JSON back of calories, grams of fat, protein, carbs etc. What API would I use for that, the Chat API one?

Saw this post. clicked on pricing. "Run up to 20,000 requests for free", ok lets try it. sign up for an account. click on playground. try a query -> balance is insufficient. then I clicked on "pricing" tab inside of the dashboard ( https://platform.parallel.ai/pricing ), no mention of any free requests. I pay for a lot of tools, but patterns like this leave me with a really bad impression.

+ apps that make it hard to cancel on a self serve basis I tried cancelling Exa (search) and they had me email the support, which they ignored and required a follow up. Then they had the nerves to ask for feedback.
