SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides NanoClaw agents with integrated access to Parallel AI's search and task APIs so agents can perform fast factual lookups and long-running deep research without blocking container execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Quick Search: Use Parallel Search API for fast web lookups and current-event queries to answer facts, definitions, and news.
  • Deep Research: Use Parallel Task API to run longer, comprehensive research tasks with explicit user permission and return structured results with citations.
  • Non-blocking Scheduler: Offload long-running task polling to NanoClaw's scheduler to avoid blocking agent containers and send results asynchronously.
  • Configuration Changes: Adds PARALLEL_API_KEY management in .env, updates container-runner allowed environment variables, and configures HTTP MCP servers and tool allowlists in the agent runner.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to perform a quick web search for "latest AI news" and permit use of Parallel Search when offered.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate web search APIs into NanoClaw agents without blocking container execution?

You can integrate Parallel AI search and task APIs into NanoClaw to enable fast factual lookups and scheduled deep research workflows. Long-running task polling is offloaded to NanoClaw's scheduler to avoid blocking agent containers.

How does the Non-blocking Scheduler handle long-running deep research tasks in NanoClaw?

The Non-blocking Scheduler in NanoClaw offloads long-running task polling to avoid blocking container execution. It polls Parallel AI task runs asynchronously and sends results back without halting agent operations.

What environment variables do I need to configure for Parallel AI integration in NanoClaw?

You need to manage the PARALLEL_API_KEY in your environment configuration. The integration updates container-runner allowedVars and agent-runner MCP server settings to properly pass the API key to NanoClaw agents.

Can I use Parallel AI for both quick web lookups and comprehensive topic analysis?

Yes, you can use the Parallel Search API for fast web lookups and current-event queries, and the Parallel Task API to run longer, comprehensive deep research tasks that return structured results with citations.

How do I start a quick web search using Parallel AI in NanoClaw?

To start a quick web search, ask the assistant to perform a lookup for your query, such as "latest AI news", and explicitly permit the use of Parallel Search when the tool is offered by the agent.
