Paperclip - ing

Paperclip is a self-hosted platform that helps you build and manage companies run entirely by AI. It allows you to create an organization chart for your AI employees, giving them roles, job descriptions, and making sure they report to someone. You act as the board of directors, overseeing everything and making the final decisions.

Benefits

Paperclip helps you automate business operations by letting you hire AI employees and set goals for them. It provides a governance layer so you can approve hires and strategies, and you can step in to change tasks or budgets anytime. It also controls costs by setting monthly budgets for each AI agent and pausing them when they reach their spending limit. You can see exactly how much is being spent on each agent, task, and project.

Use Cases

This platform is for creating and managing AI-powered businesses. You can set up AI agents with specific roles and reporting structures. It's useful for automating tasks, managing projects, and overseeing a team of AI workers. The platform supports any AI agent that can receive a signal, allowing for flexible integration. It also allows a single Paperclip setup to manage multiple separate companies.

Vibes

Paperclip is designed for managing teams of AI agents and entire companies, not for individual AI tasks or chatbots. It handles complex operations like making sure tasks are completed correctly, keeping track of AI agent status, and managing budgets and governance with the ability to undo actions. It also offers portable company templates and true separation for multiple companies.

Additional Information

Paperclip is open-source and available under the MIT license, meaning you can review and contribute to its code. Getting started is as simple as running a single command, and no Paperclip account or automatic agent installation is required. A future feature called Cliphub will let users download and import pre-built company structures for various business types, and also publish their own.
