[Let it set you up →](https://www.in-parallel.com/set-up-with-ai) ## Ask about your work from the tools you already use 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. How it works? ## In Parallel listens where work happens — and captures every decision as it's made. 1. joins your meetings 2. reads your Slack & Teams threads 3. …and any other tool you need. In Parallel gives your AI the context and deep understanding you need to do your work better. Sales Account memory Updated from Salesforce · just now Customer success Customer history Updated from Zoom · just now Management team Decisions & commitments Updated from Google Meet · just now ## The right context gives the right answer An AI with no context says it doesn’t know. An AI reading last month’s plan gives a confident, wrong answer, and someone acts on it. The context behind a question changes the answer. In Parallel keeps that context current, shows where each answer came from, and gives people and their AI tools the level of detail they’re allowed to access. [How it stays current →](https://www.in-parallel.com/how-it-stays-current) ### Your company knows everything Your company’s knowledge stays together. Choose what this project and its AI can access. Company context - Project status - Decisions - Risks - Owners - Update history - Contract value - Day rates - Board memo (NDA) - HR thread - Other clients 0 of 10 sources shared **AI needs your input**Claude can provide a template, but you still have to supply the facts. Draft the latest Project Alder update for our customer, Elena. No project sources attached 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. Illustrative responses · Fictional project ## Share a decision without the details behind it With a file, access is yes or no. Sensitive knowledge rarely moves that way. A board shares the outcome with the company without sharing who argued for it. In Parallel lets each share carry one of three levels of detail, from the same underlying record. ### Full Members of the workspace where the meeting belongs Decision Delay the Nordic launch to Q2. Raised by Anna Virtanen, CFO, in the leadership weekly on 12 September, citing a 14% overrun in supplier contracts. ### Sources unnamed A neighbouring team that needs the reasoning Decision Delay the Nordic launch to Q2. Raised in a leadership meeting, citing an overrun in supplier contracts. ### Conclusions only The wider company, a partner, or an external agent Decision The Nordic launch moves to Q2. ### How In Parallel compares with other ways to give AI context Where the approaches do the same job, and where they part. Scroll to compare — In Parallel stays in view → | | A context layer built from working conversations. It keeps shared knowledge current and gives each audience the level of detail they’re allowed to access. | An intelligence layer over Microsoft 365. It reads the access lists, sensitivity labels and data loss prevention rules set in SharePoint, Purview and Entra, and applies them to every request an agent makes. | A shared workspace inside Claude. It uses documents and instructions added to a project as context for its chats. On Team and Enterprise plans, members can be given view or edit access. | A manually maintained collection of company knowledge in documents or Markdown files. People curate, update and share the content.
