What is Paperclip?
Paperclip is a Node.js server and React UI that orchestrates a team of AI agents to run a business. You bring your own agents, assign goals, and track work and costs from one dashboard.
It looks like a task manager but adds org charts, budgets and governance. Task checkout is atomic: a single assignee and execution locks prevent competing runs from claiming the same task. Approval gates are enforced, configuration changes are revisioned, and bad changes can be rolled back.
Paperclip connects to agent runtimes through adapters, and custom processes, HTTP endpoints and external adapter packages extend the list. Routines create assigned tasks on a schedule, and recurring work can also be triggered through an API or webhook. Each run keeps a task, an owner and a history. Spend tracking, budget alerts and automatic pauses help control the cost of ongoing work.
Paperclip is open source and self-hostable. The project also invites visitors to sign up for a Paperclip Cloud waitlist.
