Parallel is a Paris-based AI startup founded in 2024 that builds vertical AI agents to automate administrative workflows in hospitals. Its flagship Medical Coding Agent reads clinical documentation, identifies standardized billing codes (PMSI, ICD-10), and inputs them directly into hospital systems by operating on top of existing legacy software without requiring integrations. The company has deployed across several dozen public and private hospitals in France and raised $23.5M total, including a $20M Series A led by Index Ventures in March 2026.
