As generative AI evolves from simple chat interfaces to agents executing complex tasks like automated Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, catalog data enrichment, real-time news analysis, and corporate due diligence, the need for factual accuracy has never been higher.
To give developers more flexibility in how they ground Gemini models to verifiable, real-time information, today, we are excited to announce that Parallel Web Systems：https://parallel.ai/ is now a natively integrated web grounding provider on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
Parallel Web Systems builds search infrastructure purpose-built for agents. Parallel’s Search API：https://parallel.ai/products/search delivers structured, LLM-optimized results powered by a proprietary web index built specifically for agentic workloads. By working with enterprises across financial services, legal, and technology, Parallel helps power production-grade autonomous agent workflows at scale.
Grounding with Parallel Web Search on Agent Platform connects Gemini models to public web data provided by Parallel Web Systems' search API. This service combines Parallel Web System’s web index with Gemini's native ability to understand and decompose complex user prompts, distill insights from the most relevant search results, and generate highly accurate answers complete with precise citation annotations. Because Parallel Web Search runs on Google Cloud, you benefit from a streamlined, secure integration directly within your existing cloud environment, with an option for zero data retention (ZDR) available for sensitive workloads.

Adding Parallel to our ecosystem empowers customers with expanded licensing and architectural flexibility. A key differentiator of Grounding with Parallel Web Search is its expansive approach to new use cases. For developers, this means the freedom to execute programmatic calls at scale, extract and cache web data to enrich internal datasets, and post-process Grounding with Parallel Web Search results using other LLMs. This flexibility supports complex architectures, allowing enterprises to confidently run agents in production and integrate Gemini's web-grounding capabilities into their existing tech stacks.
This expanded flexibility enables developers to build highly specialized agentic workflows, such as:
After subscribing, navigate to Agent Studio：http://console.cloud.google.com/agent-platform/studio/. From the navigation menu, click + New and select Chat . Expand the Model settings pane and click the Grounding with Partners toggle to open the Customize partner grounding menu. Select Parallel Web Search as your grounding source, apply the configuration, and your Gemini model will be instantly ready to generate responses anchored in verifiable, real-time web information.
