In addition to Untitled, I wrote a comprehensive “how-to” guide that covers the art and act of naming. With this process, you can name anything in an afternoon. It is incredibly thorough but can be moved through efficiently. How to Name Anything in an Afternoon

Naming a startup is hard. Usually it's chaos: throw words on a whiteboard, argue, and as fatigue hits, settle on good enough. Untitled offers another way. I turned the method I used to name dozens of startups into an app. It's free to try and uses the latest AI models.

Following rapid growth, a $100M Series B, and a slate of new launches, I sat down with Parallel co-founder Travers. Parallel Web Systems is building core search infrastructure for the agentic web: systems that enable AI to retrieve, structure, and reason over information across the internet with speed, accuracy, and reliability. I joined Travers at Parallel’s new Palo Alto office for a wide-ranging conversation on: > The pace going from launch last August to becoming critical infrastructure powering production workflows at companies like Notion, Harvey, Granola, and more. > Why Parallel sees the future of search as far beyond “ten blue links,” toward systems built for retrieval, reasoning, monitoring, and computation. > The changing nature of the web itself: its economics, openness, and what happens as agents become primary users. > The artistry and legacy of internet history shaping the company: Olivetti typewriters, Douglas Hofstadler, Lloyd Shapley, Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Google’s Search Box, and how it inspired programs like the Museum of the Human Web. This is an extensive and wide ranging look into one of the most interesting sectors of the agentic web. We Terrain feel lucky to have worked with Travers and the team since the start just two years ago. So much to do.
