Connected Services: What Parlé Talks To and What It Sends

This page lists every external service Parlé can connect to, grouped by what it is for. For each one it shows when Parlé contacts it, what it receives, and whose credential Parlé uses. For the overall picture, see the Architecture Overview. The services fall into two groups:

Services you choose. Your organization picks them and usually holds its own account with them: your AI provider, your storage, your identity provider, your connected apps.
Services Parlé relies on. Parlé uses them to run the product: hosting, managed models, search indexing, email, payments and analytics.

AI models

Every message needs a model to answer it. Parlé sends the model what it needs for the answer: the conversation so far, the project’s standing instructions, and any file excerpts or tool results the agent has gathered.

Provider	When Parlé contacts it	Whose credential
Anthropic	Your organization has added an Anthropic key and a conversation uses one of its models	Your API key
OpenAI	Same, for an OpenAI key	Your API key
Google Gemini	Same, for a Google key or your own Google Cloud (Vertex AI) project	Your API key or service account
Azure AI Foundry (yours)	Same, for a Foundry resource in your own Azure subscription	Your credential
Parlé managed models	Your organization uses managed models instead of, or alongside, its own keys	Parlé’s. These models run inside Parlé’s own Azure environment

With your own key, you hold the relationship with that AI company and its data terms apply. Parlé stores the key in its secrets vault, uses it only when it makes a call, and never shows it to a browser. See Connecting Providers.

File storage

Each project keeps its files in one place.

Storage	Where files live	Whose credential
Parlé storage	In Parlé’s own storage, on Microsoft Azure	Parlé’s
SharePoint	In a SharePoint site you grant, inside your Microsoft 365 tenant	Access you grant to that site only
Google Drive	In a Shared Drive you grant, inside your Google Workspace	Access you grant to that drive only

With SharePoint or Google Drive, files stay in your own tenant: Parlé reads and writes them there rather than copying them elsewhere. See Native Storage.

Method	What Parlé exchanges
Email and password	Handled by Parlé itself
Microsoft Entra ID	Parlé sends a sign-in request and receives your name, email address and a user identifier
Google Workspace	Same, from Google

If you connect a Microsoft account, Parlé may also fetch your own profile photo from Microsoft to show as your avatar. See Single Sign-On.

Microsoft Teams

If your organization links a Teams channel to a project, Microsoft Teams sends Parlé the messages in which someone mentions Parlé. Parlé may also read recent messages in that channel for context, and it posts the answer back into the channel, or a link to it when not everyone in the channel is a member of the project.

Connected apps

Connected apps let the agent work in systems your firm already uses. Each one is connected once, then switched on for the projects that need it.

App	What the agent can do
Confluence	Search and read pages
Jira	Read and work with issues
Linear	Read and update issues, projects and comments
Notion	Search, read and update pages and databases
Miro	Read boards and create or edit board content
monday.com	Work with boards and items
Productive	Work with projects, time, budgets and invoices
Fathom	Search meetings and read transcripts and summaries
Fireflies	Search meetings and read transcripts and summaries
Otter	Search and read transcripts and summaries, read-only
Your own MCP server	Whatever tools that server offers

When the agent uses a tool, the app receives the request the agent writes, which can include text from the conversation, and Parlé receives the app’s reply. The credential belongs to the organization, the project or each user, depending on how the app was connected. It is stored by Parlé and never sent to a browser. See Integrations and Credential Scopes.

Web search

If your organization switches Web Search on (it is off by default), an agent that has it can search the web. The search query the agent writes is sent to Brave on Parlé’s account. Nothing else from the conversation is sent. See Web Search.

Services Parlé relies on

Service	What it does	What it receives
Microsoft Azure	Hosts the Parlé service, its database and Parlé storage, and runs Parlé managed models	Everything Parlé stores and processes
Search indexing	Lets the agent find passages in project files, organization knowledge and past messages by meaning	Their text, sent to Parlé’s embedding provider on Parlé’s account. File indexing can be switched off. See Semantic File Search
Email delivery (Microsoft Azure)	Sends invitations and notifications	The recipient’s email address and the message
Stripe	Takes subscription payments	Your organization’s name and billing contact email. No conversations or files
Google Analytics	Shows us how the web app is used	Anonymous page types only. No names, identifiers or content

Parlé does not use your content to train AI models, and it does not sell your data.
