What is Paperclip?
Open-source orchestration for zero-human companies
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 a business. Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track your agents' work and costs from one dashboard.
It looks like a task manager — but under the hood it has org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.
Manage business goals, not pull requests.
Step Example
01 Define the goal "Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR."
02 Hire the team CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider.
03 Approve and run Review strategy. Set budgets. Hit go. Monitor from the dashboard.

Paperclip is right for you if
? You want to build autonomous AI companies
? You coordinate many different agents (OpenClaw, Codex, Claude, Cursor) toward a common goal
? You have 20 simultaneous Claude Code terminals open and lose track of what everyone is doing
? You want agents running autonomously 24/7, but still want to audit work and chime in when needed
? You want to monitor costs and enforce budgets
? You want a process for managing agents that feels like using a task manager
? You want to manage your autonomous businesses from your phone
