Paperclip

Open-source orchestration for AI companies

Hire AI employees, set goals, automate your business

What is Paperclip?

If OpenClaw is an employee, Paperclip is the company.

Paperclip is a Node.js server and React UI that orchestrates a team of AI agents to run your business.

It looks like a task manager — but under the hood it has org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.

Any agent, any runtime, one org chart. If it can receive a heartbeat, it is hired.

Every task traces back to the company mission. Agents know what to do and why.

Agents wake on a schedule, check work, and act. Delegation flows up and down the org chart.

Monthly budgets per agent. When they hit the limit, they stop. No runaway costs.

One deployment, many companies. Complete data isolation. One control plane for your portfolio.

Every conversation traced. Every decision explained. Full tool-call tracing and audit log.
