Parabola
No-code data automation with AI steps and agent builders
About
Parabola is a visual, drag-and-drop platform for data automation aimed at operations, finance, and e-commerce teams. Users build Flows that pull data from spreadsheets, APIs, databases, and email attachments, then clean, merge, enrich, and route it; built-in AI steps classify text, extract fields from documents, and generate content, and Flows run on schedules with hosted tables for intermediate data.
Founded by Alex Yaseen, the company has raised about $34 million including a $24 million Series B led by OpenView in June 2023, and cites customers such as Brooklinen, WHOOP, and Flexport. In 2025 it launched Prowork, a natural-language AI agent builder aimed at logistics, supply chain, and finance teams.
