GitHub - paperclipai/paperclip: Open-source orchestration for zero-human companies

Paperclip is an open-source platform that orchestrates teams of AI agents to run autonomous 'zero-human' companies. It provides a centralized dashboard featuring org charts, budget controls, and goal alignment to manage AI agents as a professional workforce. By handling coordination and state persistence, it allows users to manage business outcomes rather than individual technical scripts.

Key Points

• Paperclip functions as the 'company' layer that orchestrates various AI 'employees' toward high-level business goals.
• It provides essential corporate governance tools such as org charts, budget limits, and immutable audit logs for AI activities.
• The system uses scheduled 'heartbeats' and event-based triggers to ensure agents work autonomously without constant human babysitting.
• It is designed for scalability, supporting multi-company isolation and mobile-ready monitoring for a portfolio of autonomous businesses.
• Unlike simple agent frameworks, Paperclip focuses on the orchestration of teams, state persistence, and cost control.
